We get lots of emails from readers (barelylegalblog@gmail.com, if you care to be one of them), and lots of times they suggest a post that we should do. Most of the time, the idea is terrible, or it is something we have already done in one form or another. But today we received an email from a young lady suggesting a post about how finals make you feel. What I like is how the email starts off (relatively) normal but quickly descends into a sort of stream-of-consciousness madness that only law school finals can bring about. I am afraid that this reader is now curled up in the fetal position after cutting her own face out of all her family photos.
In preparation of finals... I think your site needs a blog to remind students that they are not alone.. and everyone is fucking miserable right now.....
Something perhaps like.... why finals basically just fucking suck.
Don't forget to mention the fact that you haven't listened all semester.. maybe even haven't opened a book, have procrastinated doing your own outlines.. you said you would do them over Thanksgiving.. yeahhhhhh that didn't happen. It's now 2 weeks to go.. your teachers insist on rambling on at warp speed.. leaving you very lost.. and ready to have your head explode at the end of an hour and 40 minutes going on a 7 hour class..or it feels like seven hours. You just really really really don't want to study. You don't care. It doesn't matter anyway. Your gpa is already in the toilet so what's the point. You go to the winner of the "why my law school sucks contest".. .aka NYLS... and your school sucks anyway.. so even if you do well.. you still aren't getting a job.... every student.. who you already hate... becomes even moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee annoying...... did you outline.. did you do every single practice exam yet.. for the past 10 years.. oh you didnt? I did!!! Haha... I will beat you!!! Haha...
Damn lunatics....
Umm...in the words of Jerry Seinfeld, good luck with all that.
