1. Studying for the LSAT, while also studying for your class exams
"I'm fine."
2. The fomo that comes with explaining to your friends that you can’t go out because you have to study for a test that’s 3 months away
And then watching their snaps as they party while you stay in and die study for the lsat.
3. When your scores on the lsat practice tests start to improve
Wow and to think it only took 100,000,000,000 hours to see a 1 point improvement!
4. Looking at law schools online and seeing yourself there
Even if your dream school seems a little of a reach.
5. Deciding which law school to go to
Is it too much to apply to 10 schools? How about 20?
(also yes this gif is from The Bachelor because it's a good show)
6. Trying to not think about the cost of law school
Yes this one really needed 3 gifs.
7. Going to law school forums and hearing the same questions over and over again
8. Constantly worrying about your grades, extracurriculars, resume, etc.
The world may never understand the stress level of a pre-law student.
9. Asking for letters of recommendation
Please like me.
10. Trying to write your personal statement
Simple enough. Just tell us why you want to study law at our law school and why you're better than all the other hundreds of applicants. In 250 words or less of course.
11. Envisioning how you’ll change the world with your law degree
And obviously you'll do it with a killer wardrobe.
12. Trying to prove to your friends that you know what you're talking about when you give them legal advice
No Miranda you should not fight that parking ticket you got for going 80 in a 25 zone, you will loose. But yes Andi you should totally fight that citation you got for public intoxication outside of the bar, everyone else was drunk too.
13. When people remind you how much money you’ll make
Okay maybe, but that’s after I go into debt to pay for another 3 years of school. Also there's more to being a lawyer than just a paycheck.
14. And if you’re going into public interest law, accepting that you might not get paid as much as corporate lawyers
But also accepting that you'll be making the world a better place.
15. Being asked if Law And Order is your favorite show
Since Grey’s Anatomy is your favorite show, I’m assuming you’re pre-med?
16. When people assume that you must be smart
I mean like yeah, I like to think so, but I also study ALL THE TIME.
17. The joy of finding another pre-law student
Because hey, we're in it together!
18. Knowing that it’s all worth it, because someday you’ll be a lawyer
And that day cannot come soon enough.
