You know youre a first year law student if

You know you’re a first year law student if:

• You find yourself using the term “chattel” multiple times each day.


• You find yourself watching Judging Amy and questioning the procedural rules of the courtroom instead of obsessing about who Amy is dating.


• You’re sitting with other students at lunch and one announces, with neither embarrassment nor shame, that she is a “staunch conservative republican” who doesn’t believe in any of that “welfare to work crap”, and you are the only one who nearly chokes on her food.


• You have a shortcut on your keyboard for the § symbol.


• You can’t imagine being anywhere without your laptop computer, and find yourself surprised that there is not wireless access everywhere.


• You find yourself thinking of arguments in terms of person one v. person two.


• You write your blog all the time in your head, but you can’t find the five minutes to type it in and click on “publish this post.”
