Law Students

An Open Letter to The 1Ls Who Walk Slowly and In Groups Five People Wide

Look, I understand. Law school is like, hard and stuff. And the weight of the world (and impending exams) must rest heavily on those wee shoulders. Not to mention the 50 lbs of books you carry around.* It must make every step a feat of strength, what with all that new knowledge building up in your little, weary head.

But I am not a 1L. I am a 3L. And as such, you can safely assume that, if I am on campus, I am most definitely, without a doubt, late for something. Thus, I do not want to plod along behind you, listening to your best studying tips. All I want- all I really, really want, in this whole wide world- is for you to MOVE. OUT. OF. MY. WAY.

There is no need, NO NEED, for you to talk while standing in a line. I do not get this. Do you not realize that communication would be easier if you stood in the more appropriate, much more considerate formation of rows? Look, here?s a helpful drawing:

Why do you not get this? I'm looking, and I'm trying to understand. But I do not.

In conclusion, please try to make me want to kick you less. Thanks.

Love,
Cella

* Can I just note I have one textbook this year? This is why I?m a 3L, cuz I?ve been doin? this for 2 years now and doin? it well.
