it’s kinda fucked up that you’re only an age for a year. I didn’t know how to be 23 yet, let me try again

[nepofledgling]

I’m going to think about this forever…

if i worked in a court id say "i'll see you in court!" to each of my coworkers at the end of each day until they decided to execute me

The time has come to fulfill my life’s purpose

[finisheachday]

Things my law school profs have said out of context: final semester edition

- The federal government, in their infinite stupidity…

- If you ever want to start your day off real sad…

- It’s all magic, made-up numbers anyway. That’s what money is

- I don’t know. It’s at my discretion. Leave me alone. Give me money.

- I’m apparently functional enough, as stunted as I am

- Ok, [Lawyer]. What the fuck are we doing here [said by Lawyer]

- He’s not a pedophile. He’s just an adult that had sex with a minor

- I’m writing a dogshit factum. It’s not dogshit. My client’s right, and I’m right too

- One of us is a court tasked with the administration of justice and the other is just some dick who put a gown on

- Until I’m ready to face that I’m a petty bitch…

- “We should probably object to this” “Then fucking object!”

- People with their goddamn multiple issues. You can’t just commit one crime in one place?

- If you want to do something really unethical (I’ve never done this)…

- If you can’t manufacture a Charter breach at the roadside, just hand in your fucking license

- And if you leave a voicemail, I’ll do the best that I can. And that’s a lie. I’ll do something at some point

- Get off the fucking crystal meth, and get your fucking head out of your ass

- It’s only 1:57. I have my whole life ahead of me

“Afoot and lighthearted, take to the open road, / Healthy, free, the world before you, / The long brown path before you, leading wherever
you choose. / Say only to one another: / Camerado, I give you my hand! / I give you my love, more precious than money, / I give you myself before preaching or law: / Will you give me yourself? / Will you come travel with me? / Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?” —Walt Whitman

And now I am done my final year of law school. Does it feel real? Absolutely not. And three years of studying later, I’m still unable to put into words how incredible it feels to have made it this far. Today I took out my lucky pen once again—the one I’ve been holding onto since I was 16 and set my sights on law school—this time to fill out some articling documents. In a month I’ll begin articling, and a year after that I’ll be a lawyer I guess? I think I made it.

I have one day left of law school. One paper to finish, and I’m done. My motivation decreases as the word count increases, but I’ve been spending every minute I can at the college while my law school days last. I somehow miss it already.

how do you just get up and deal with the fact that there’s a last time for everything. there was a last time you sat on your dads shoulders and there was a last time your mom tucked you into bed. there’s going to be a last time you kiss your sister on the head and there’s going to be a last time you hug your best friend. there’s going to be a last time you feel exactly as you feel right now and there’s going to be a last time that person says i love you. i need to lay down
