For the older students...

Are you stalking me?  You really need to get a life.

LOL at both of you.  That's awesome!

Sometimes, don't you feel like the old lady/man sitting on their porch and saying "Damn kids, get off my lawn?"

[->Soon]

just give them really bad advice.

be that 5th out of five doctors.

"nah, crack isnt bad for you.  thats the MAN just trying to keep you from having fun"

the lesson learned will stay with them for a lifetime.

hopefully...

Guys, I have a question that is just burning inside me and I searched and searched the boards for the answer but cannot find it anywhere....  Should I prep prior to 1L?

Please let me know.  Thanks in advance!

Isn't ragging on younger students a little childish?  Give 'em a break!

I don't know if you expect people who are 22 or 23 to act older than they are, but they usually don't and won't.  I know I didn't.  Thank god when I was that age I didn't post on a message board.
I would hate to have 85% of what I would have said at that age be immortalized in cyberspace.

some of the debates do provide useful info.  that full-ride thread comes to mind.  the funniest thing is that before i came to this board i would have thought i was set just getting into any law school.  getting a full ride at some school?  please!  i would have been dancing in the street!  now all a full ride does is make me even more pensive.

[HippieLawChick]

Yeah...I can see that archival!

HippieLawChick, when I think of the pros and cons of UofW.  You go right into the Pros column.  Your posts are either incredibly right or downright hilarious and sometimes both.  You hit the nail squarely on the head, I love how so many of these kids on here talk about Harvard v. Columbia w a full ride v. NYU.  Not one word about career goals, but rather what free tshirts or mouse pads they got in the mail and in what sort of envelope their Yale deferral came in.  And yes, I'm one of the old ones.  And by that, I mean over 30.  Maybe we'll be seeing each other in Wisconsin.

I think age really has no correlation with how annoying people are in class. That's just a matter of personality. I've been in classes with irritating younger students, and with irritating older students.  The funny thing was the vast majority of the time, the people who talked big weren't actually doing the work and got much lower grades than the more silent types.

I meant "bright" not "right", but that too.
