1Ls pretty sure law school won't be too bad

Hans Olo, The Stool

When 1L Pamela Weiss talked recently about her impending entry into the world of law school, she displayed little to no concern about the task facing her.

"I think it'll be time-consuming," said Weiss, "but not too bad. I mean it's not like it's Harvard or something. I took Organic Chemistry for a semester in college -- I know what it's like."

Other 1Ls have displayed similar bravado when asked to expound on their impending academic forays. "Meh," said 1L Steve Ennjock, "how hard can it really be? You read a bunch of shit and blah blah blah. Whatever happens, I heard about this thing called a 'Horn' book or something like that. There's nothing to worry about."

But worry is exactly what Madge Belteram is doing. "Oh God, I don't know what to do. I've already read through half of my Torts casebook. I've also been peeing in my bed at night recently. Wait -- don't print that."
