Things I learnt at law school

Having less than 10 days before the last exam of my undergrad degree, I feel that I am in a position now to impart my eternal wisdom to those unfortunate enough to still be captives of the law school dungeon. Hopefully, these tips will make the sentence just a teeny bit easier:

• If you want to eat while at the computer, either go to the Honours room at Level 2 or the G01 computer lab.
• Make as many friends as possible in first year. Second year onwards, everyone’s got friends and they don’t need more.
• If you aspire to be class rep, wait til 2nd year onwards when no one wants to be one.
• Never go to Alberto Costi outside office hours.
• Be nice to the librarians. Might get special privileges eg free photocopying cards and fine waivers.
• Be a volunteer note-taker. Makes you take pretty notes.
• Do NOT make a habit of asking more than 1 question per class.
• On that note, people who talk most in class probably know the least.
• Never sit at the back row. Lecturers ALWAYS pick on people at the back.
• Failing a test isn’t the end of the world.
• Coffee is your best friend.
• You will get the most marks for the stuff you spent the least time on.
  Smile. As if law school isn’t unfriendly enough already.
