Get a Life

I was reading a fellow legal blog and it donned on me how often people comment just to say that the content of the blog was worthless. Of course the commenters remained anonymous. Some commenters even went as far as to say that sites such as these should even be on the net. Are these people for real? Do they think that we are just sitting here trying to think of words to write so that a completely anonymous stranger will write a couple words of two saying how much our blog means to them? Get real.

The numerous legal blogs that ive read have contributed quite significantly in my law school experience so far. They shape my attitude and even give real life advice on how to deal with law school dilemmas. Legal blogs are so inclusive in the guidance they provide, im satisfied that if we combined all the legal blogs into one mega-database of information, it could successfully raise a newborn child alone. You dont believe me? Here's a list of things that blogs have taught me in the first term of law school:
1) How to apply a firm wedgie to that annoying gunner in the front row of class.
2) Which sets of flashcards to buy that you never opened but still feel justified that you bought them.
3) How to live solely off of nachos, caffeine, and spamwiches for the entire week before finals.
4) When purchasing your final exams in advance, never pick it up in person or your teacher, i mean anonymous test seller, might recognize you.
5) Ashlee Simpson is not a robot sent back into time to break up nick and jess, but more likely a robot sent back into time to make sure all the eligible batchelors in this country wish they were deaf.
6) Telling people "Im a lawyer" is the single greatest pickup line, and is most effective when wearing an initialed sweater vest.
7) How to spend 10 weeks outlining a class, only to find that an upperclassmen has an even better one that makes all the hours you spent on the other one useless. When you upperclassmen say its the process of outlining that makes you learn the material, this is the equivalent of running your nails on the chalkboard.
8) When someone says they are hot, 18 and single on the internet it really means large, hairy and old. From what i hear....
9) The OC really isnt real, but I still dont believe it.
