How to Date a Law Student:

Make Love Notes Long and Confusing

Brevity and clarity make law school students feel uncomfortable and agitated, much like normal people feel at the DMV. For example, don’t say, “Let’s head back home early for some fun.” Instead say, “Let’s return early to the domicile for some malfeasance.”

As a law student, the two feelings that I’m constantly swinging between.

Leave of Absence From Law School

Sir:

Greetings,

This is to inform you that, I, Jocelle Osana G. Dela Cruz, a freshman student from LLB 1-6 of Polytechnic University of the Philippines, College of Law, Sta. Mesa, Manila have successfully accomplished the First Semester of Academic year 2012-2013.

I handled to survive the 1^st semester despite all the circumstances I faced along the way, however, due to our family's financial problem, I will not be able to enroll for the 2^nd semester which is a very painful decision on my part since going to law school and the stress it brings have been part of my daily routine.

On hiatus ...

Yes, you read it right! I'm on hiatus now. I'm just having a short break from the busy life of a law student. I'm just savoring every moment I have now to enjoy the life that I've also wanted . Bar hopping! Gigs! Luxurious Sleep! OL All day! GOD! THIS IS LIFE! Yeah! I really can enjoy life now! I'm now doing the things I've deprived myself of doing since I've decided to go to law school. But at the end of the day everything boils down to one question... Is this really the life that I wanted? The answer is NO... a big NO! I should be honest to myself with this. I'd rather have more sleepless nights reading and memorizing FACTS, ISSUES and RULINGS of CASES assigned for us to read for different subjects we have in law school . I'd rather spend the whole afternoon in a deafening silence environment inside the law school library. I'd rather dose myself with energy drinks to keep me awake because I still have class on a Saturday after the whole frustrating week than to have a hang over the next day after having a laklakan session with my bandmates which I do not really regret at all. Little did I mention that I have friends with God-given talent in singing and dancing and I'm lucky enough to witness them myself. I'd rather wear irritating corporate clothes upon going to school straight from work than to have comfortable clothes which I only wear at home. I'd rather carry tons of books I need in law school than to fill my bag with useless stuffs I need to bring out the kikayness in me. The most important thing that I'd rather be doing is seeing my friends in law school and debate with them all day long about their stands with a certain case than to waste my time having bolahan conversations with my suitors.
