Setting up my law school study room... Forum

[drive4showLSAT4dough]

All the mid-150s LSATs at OSU had 3.7s or better. Realistic chances with current numbers: http://myLSN.info/rb392g

If you're going to attend Akron anyways, you still owe it to yourself to get the highest LSAT possible to give yourself a shot at a full tuition scholarship.

If you have connections, thats great. But would you bet $60,000 on those connections? Of course not.

And also, "every lawyer, or family member, or anyone else in the loop seems to think as long as I go to Akron, I'm "immune" from the legal employment crisis" Just no.

Don't forget the adderall. That's almost food in that your body digests it

On the bed doesnt really work for me either. Actually, anywhere in my house doesnt really work for me. I get lonely studying alone in my house. I prefer to sit next to friends in the library.

I'm looking for some ideas for setting up my "war room" where I estimate I'll be spending 5 or 6 hours a day studying. I was wondering if anyone set up a room like this similarly and what they did.

Is there any useful furniture, accessories, supplies etc. that anyone could recommend? I don't start 1L until the Fall, so I could use the time to maybe find some used items on Craigslist or yard sales for a deal and get everything together slowly. Here's what I think I'll furnish so far:

General Furniture:
- Filing Cabinet (how many drawers should be enough?, I think one 2-drawer one should do)

- Large Desk w/ room for Laptop plus space to spread papers out on

- Bookcase, how many books should I plan on filling it with, how much shelf space is enough?

- Ergonomic Desk Chair, anyone prefer a brand?

- A comfortable reading chair

- Lamps

Office Crap:

- Stapler

- Hole Punch

- Inbox/Outbox

- Large Dry Erase Board

- Large Cork Board

Computer Stuff/Appliances:
- Laser Printer, preferable a 3 in 1 system (anyone prefer a certain one?)

- A good Shredder

- Should I get a desktop or use a laptop? During UG I used my laptop for everything, brought it to school and took notes, then used it as a desktop during evenings/weekends to type papers or whatever.

Prediction: After spending about 2,000 dllrs you will not be able to get ANY work done in this room and end up living in Starbucks. Oh wait, that's my life.

Fashion yourself a slingshot so that you can take down fellow classmates. 2 birds one stone: food AND less competition. Maybe sexual release as well, if you're into that sort of thing.

I think OP is forgetting the most important component of the war room: One of those tables that are specifically designed to be able to study while standing up. I am going to buy one of these since in law school I won't have as much time to work out. Basically, one of my goals is to stay in pretty good shape while in law school. By standing up for 5 hours a day while studying, I think this will do the trick. By staying in decent shape, I will have better luck being able to drop girl's panties, which will release law school stress. Pretty good idea all around, huh?

Dude just standing up? You're not going to burn enough calories. You need a "walking desk". --LinkRemoved--

Without question more reasonable than a paper shredder for animal bedding

[manofjustice]

you should definitely hire a secretary.

Yes. But I really think the most important question you should concern yourself with right now is what you will wear to law school.

This thread is giving me life!

[cinephile]

how can you people study on your bed? i fall asleep.

I only fall asleep if I'm bored. Like I've never fallen asleep browsing the internet, but nearly every time I read a casebook. I'd like to think I'd fall asleep standing up if that's how I read casebooks too. The good news is, I realized reading is superfluous and you can wait till exam time to study an old outline. So, good luck future 1L and hope you use your time more wisely.

Possible there will be enough paper sheds for large animal bedding?

[Scotusnerd]

Don't forget to hit up the thrift shop for an old general's dress jacket to wear, along with a pipe.

Also, shut the fuck up about preparing to study and study. No one gives a damn where you do it, just that you do it.

If your war room doesn't look like this, you're doing it wrong:

lol no joke I already have a giant world map on the wall and a globe on a end table.

I find studying/reading on a bean bag works well for me. An overly stuffy room or atmosphere can kind of bore me to sleep.

But I know each person is different, so what works for you mayh not work for others.

Have you ever thrived in this type of "set-up" before? If not, then you might want to see if you can even read in that type of environment. It would stink to get into the grind of LS and realize your set-up doesn't work.
