EDITOR’S NOTE: This article is one in a series of “True Life: I’m in Law School” contributions written by a second year law student for her school newsletter. She intends it to be an insider’s view into the academic and social world of law. Because her newsletter is published quarterly holiday season but is still clever reading for the next one coming around.

True Life: I’m In Law School
In a land far, far away, the month of December represents a time of love and happiness. Family and friends gather to celebrate Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza, birthdays, and/or engagements, fireplaces are warmly glowing, and family recipes are baking in the oven. Forlornly, in the land of law school, the month of December represents doom and torture. Students are over-stressed, over-caffeinated, underfed, and lacking sleep all in the name of finals. You, the student, swore you would be better prepared for this month, and wouldn’t fall into the trap. Nevertheless, you still did. In this edition of True Life, we’re going to help you, the student, ring in the New Year (better late than never) with three Law School Resolutions that will hopefully help prevent the downhill tumbles and pitfalls of this encroaching finals season in April/May. So stand up, raise that glass of champagne (or coffee if your currently studying), and get ready to re-toast in the New Year with True Life: I’m in Law School.
