Being a law student is totally awesome. You get to go without sleep for days, read things you only half understand and endure hours of worry because you think you used a full stop instead of a comma in one of your footnotes. But it takes one to know one, doesn’t it?
You know you’re a law student when…
You begin an assignment by checking Facebook and then writing a status update about you are doing an assignment and regret not starting it two weeks ago.
You have argued with a lecturer about your grades – at least once – and have won.
You are known by the guy at the petrol station as that crazy person who comes in at 3am in their pyjamas to buy chocolate, lollies and V.
You speak to your computer as if it is a real person. You get angry at it when it is too slow, but congratulate it when it does something very fast.
You have spent at least a week living off coffee and 2 minute noodles.
Instead of having normal items in your handbag, you have five highlighters, post it notes and an array of pens. Randomly you also have a double adapter (the essential for lectures).
You spend more time in the library than you do your home. The librarians have been beginning to question if you are part of the furniture.
Whenever you or any of your friends get a parking ticket, you know how to refute it. And you do.
You are okay with giving your life to the law, ‘evidence law is going to kill me’ or ‘I will understand competition law if it kills me.’
You have threatened to damage the law, ‘contract law I will destroy you.’ For me, the most extreme moment may have been when I told the Constitution that I was going to ‘punch it in the face’.
Instead of having angry birds on your iphone, you have the AustLii app.
You have more ‘study clothes’ than real clothes.
You get the Castle and that IT IS the vibe of the Constitution.
You take your own mug of coffee to class.
Getting up before 10am is a struggle.
After being on university holidays for two weeks, you are actually bored.
p/s :for me,I'm like a rockstar when I'm a law student and apabila aku tau apa yang aku wat itu salah and orang lain blame aku, aku akan blame orang itu juga and fight berhabis - habisan sampai aku menang!:D
when i was 6 years old,my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life.when i went to school,they asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up. I wrote down "happy".they told me i didn't understand the assignment & i told them they didn't understand LIFE.
I am who I am.I tried to be girlie girl the best that I can.I like rock music but sometime metal rock,independent is my life but they do not understand my melody.Believe me when I say I try,I tried too.I don't know why they cant see me.I know I'm not pretty enough.Why they see me outwardly not inwardly?I'm thinking and dreaming again,again and again..............................................Why?Because I am who I am.
