Preparing for LSATs as Told by the 2016 Presidential Nominees

If Legally Blonde succeeded in teaching me anything in life, other than the “Bend and Snap” is the Holy Grail for getting the guy, it’s that law school isn’t just a walk in the park and neither is the entrance exam that will likely determine the rest of your legal career—the LSAT.

LSAT, or the Law School Admissions Test is a comprehensive exam that is used by law school admissions to, for lack of better word, determine the probability that you will actually succeed instead of fail out. The exam has a perfect score of 180 and anything above the 170 mark just about assures you admission to almost any law program you want, provided that your GPA is up to par, you are a well-rounded student, and have some pretty stellar faculty recommendations. Arguably, it is the LSAT that holds the most weight in an admission decision so it is obvious that a law school candidate needs to do as well as possible in order to stand out. Being that it is my senior year of college and my law school application due dates are quickly coming to pass, the pressure of doing well on the LSAT is intense, even more so with my wanting to attend a top 20 program. With my background in Political Science, how better to describe this process than the 2016 Presidential Nominees, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

  1. Trying to study on your own and realizing it is never going to work, because the Logic Games section is truly a creation of Satan himself.


  2. Taking your first practice test and realizing you aren’t as smart as you thought you were.



  3. Draining your life savings to pay for a prep course.



  4. Having that A-HA moment when things actually start to make sense.



  5. Going into your first LSAT and realizing that you’re practically Elle Woods already.

Harvard Law, here we come!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
