Some things never change

toAlcohol.jpgOver at The Underachieving Transformation, you can follow the journeys of a brand-spanking-new law student. …poor sucker.

In a recent post, said law student shares what he’s learned the first week, listing out seven items. Most of the items focus on the impending suffering, whether due to an unfunny professor, working your ass of, or being easily distracted by in-class wi-fi. There’s also an item where he says that he’s learned that the McDonald’s coffee case wasn’t frivolous, for which he’s catching a little flack in the comments and on some other blawgs. But the most important lesson he’s learned is item number seven: “Beer is an essential part of the law student/lawyer diet.”

It’s nice to know that five years removed from the last of my law school days, the experience hasn’t changed much. Although it’s clearly changed a little, because were I making that list back when I was a 1L, this item undoubtedly would’ve been the top item, not relegated to the bottom.
