Stupid Things Students Do When Cramming for Exams:

. . . .

"I'm so Screwed" Competitions

"I'm so screwed!" The attention-seeking cry of the idiot, one who knows they desperately need to fix themselves but would rather have attention for being useless instead. It's the American Idol of exam season.

SCENE: Library, two dumbasses.
A: Omigod I'm so screwed for this test!
B: I didn't go to half the lectures!
A: Well I didn't go to any!
B: Well I ran over the professor's wife!
A: Well I'm brain-damaged because I was having sex with her in front of the professor when you hit her!

I ate four different types of animal for dinner.

niiiice.....

which ones???

Pig, Cow, Sheep, and Chicken.

Brazilian steakhouse for the win.

texas de brazil?

No, but I've been to that one before. This one is on Lasalle and Erie.

Does anyone have any suggestions for the quickest way to essentially learn Business Associations an Fed Tax in the span of 3 weeks? Focused on jobs for way too much of the semester after striking out at OCI (T14 school) and then depression/being sick a lot set in afterward, have maybe 30% of the reading done in either class, just want to end up being at a 3.1+ or higher for the semester. Is it possible? Any recommendations/tips on essentially learning a lot of a semester's worth of classes in a 2-4 week period for finals would be greatly appreciated. Feel like I know jackshit in my classes from this semester, grades going down would be the death knell on already dim job prospects

Don't bother with making an outline or reading. Just get an old outline, memorize, then take practice tests / hypos.

"I'm so screwed!" The attention-seeking cry ofthe idiot employed, one who knows they desperately need to fix themselves but would rather have attention for being useless instead just need to not epically fuck up. It's the American Idol of 2L exam season.

SCENE: Library, two dumbasses.
A: Omigod I'm so screwed for this test but it doesn't matter because I have a job!
B: I didn't go to half the lectures but it doesn't matter because I have a job!
A: Well I didn't go to any after I got my first offer!
B: Well I ran over the professor's wife but it doesn't matter because he doesn't have any ties to my firm!
A: Well I'm brain-damaged because I was having sex with her in front of the professor when you hit her and I'd do it again!

fixed for the implied bragging that's actually going on ITT

Thank you all for the suggestions on study tips for how to attack finals in the most effective at this late point in the semester and in my pretty screwed as hell position

Is this not how one is supposed to study?

i am super unemployed. so I guess that puts me back in the "idiot" category

[Holly Golightly]

I have literally done nothing related to school today, and I think I'm about to drink even more wine, take some benadryl and pass out in the hopes that it will inspire me to wake up early tomorrow.

[dailygrind]

I'm fairly confident at this point that my grades are going to plummet this semester and I'm probably going to end up gunning away next semester out of an unhealthy sense of competition/need for validation. However, I am holding out hope that my grades won't turn out too badly despite the total lack of work I've put in this semester, which would mean that I would be safe to slack like a motherfucker all throughout the rest of law school. C'monnnnnnnn luck.

[Holly Golightly]

Yeah, this was definitely a good time in the semester for me to start How I Met Your Mother from the beginning...

Right there with you brother.

[snowpeach06]

Yeah. I realized that I did well first semester, and my grades went down second semester. I am not safe to be doing as little as I have been doing. This is bad times. I'll have gone from like, top 15% to 50% by the time I graduate, which would be baaaddddd. And yet, it seems so likely. I fluked doing ok first semester.

[Holly Golightly]

Unless I magically write 20 pages today, a week-long extension for journal is in my future.

i was supposed to be done with all my outlines by the start of thanksgiving break and now I am starting to tell myself "ok well at least somewhat near the end.." by break, which is two days away.

I am just about caught up w t&e...significant portion of tax is done...bankruptcy I have somebody else's outline but I seriously need to learn this crap because I havent paid attention since some time in october...and fam law I am pretty far behind.

and to top it all off, I am 3 days behind in tax reading and about 2 weeks behind in bankruptcy reading. lovely.

Getting anything done over Thanksgiving break = impossible. Why was this not a problem last year?

i felt oddly relieved yesterday when I heard a girl in one of my classes ask the prof a question and she started it off by saying "so I am starting to outline..."
