Hello and welcome to Fridays From the Frontline, Clear Admit’s weekly round up of law school applicant and student news. This week many dormant bloggers sprung to life as their 1L experiences began in earnest.
0L Danielle insisted that she wouldn’t post to her blog again until she scored a 90th percentile result on an LSAT practice test. 0L Paralegal submitted her first law school application and already checked the status of her application twice.
1L think.evolve experienced her first three days of law school, thankful that her mother was at home looking after ‘Trooper’ but wondered how her schedule would be adjusted once her mother left. 1L Ricky Nelson performed a few mathematical equations after learning about a man suing a computer game company for not properly warning him of how addictive the program was. 1L Brownbelle was getting into the swing of things, though she finally knew firsthand just how intense law school can be. 1l The Lovely Mrs. also began to see the best and worst of law school life, from gunners to fierce competition over seating arrangements. UVA ’13 Legal MBAyhem shed some light on what it’s like to be a dual degree student in Charlottesville. Tulane ’13 Beauty Brains Brawn settled into New Orleans two weeks before orientation and felt confident in her ability to catch a streetcar.
NYU ’12 IDWSJ recounted hitting on a number of women … each of whom we suspect represents an interview experience. 2L Molly didn’t love her 8 am class nor the moot court she would have to prepare for later in the day. 2L Cee checked in with a list of her courses for the semester. 2L Law School Ninja asked current 2Ls and 3Ls if there were things they would hope to do differently this year. NCCU ’12 TDOT responded to 1L questions like ‘do we really have to work 60 hours a week to get good grades?‘ 2L Dixie chimed in with a few thoughts on what any pre-law applicant should do before applying … mainly they should make sure they understand what lawyers actually do. 2L Life of a Law Student managed to deny the reality of school starting back up with less than 14 hours before he needed to return to campus.
Harvard ’11 Ivy Lea explained what it took to be a perfect law school bag, and she had two years of previous experience to work with. Marshall ’11 Huma and her law school bff began their third year of law school and Huma made a cartoon to commemorate it. 3L New Law Mom observed the changes law school had on her and those around her. 3L Lisslo worried that she would have to actually schedule sleep in her planner, assuming it didn’t become its own sovereign state. 3L The Exit made a few law school jokes.
And that’s all of the blawgosphere’s news for this week. We hope 1Ls continue to settle into their courses and make friends and that 2Ls and 3Ls enjoy their last few days before school starts for them as well. Until next week, have a great weekend!
