Is that crazy or what? According to scientists at Cal, the are physiological changes in the brain when we study for the LSAT.
Have you guys found your thinking altered by LSAT prep? Like you can't turn that part of your brain off even when you are trying to be normal?
It reminds me when, after a study binge, I got a funny email from my dad which included the words:
"if one glass of wine is good for you, think of what a whole bottle can do"
It literally felt like I was on LSAT crack. My immediate reaction was like: how can we resolve the discrepancy between the healthful quality of a glass of wine with the detrimental effects experienced by those who drink a bottle?
lSAT answer- the benefit of a healthful quality of a substance can be overcome by the detrimental effects of another quality of that same substance when the substance is consumed in amounts larger than 1 glass.
Then I was like, this is why I have no friends.
