I know most people say to have fun, but this year I kind of already did nothing, so I'm getting a bit bored. Should I get an internship or job? Or just study for 1L a bit. Kind of feel like I need to be somewhat productive in order to be happy.

Already go on dates, drink, sex, etc.

killself.

why are you going to law school? can you read?

if you do go (and you absolutely should NOT), do not read anything law-related. the law is only what your professor says it is which may or may not have any basis in what you are reading as a 0L.

there are plenty of unemployed and under-employed T10 grads. you are much better than moast but you are still quite possibly fucked.

the only thing law school will add to your humanities degree is a pile of debt. I restate my question: can you read the news? Do not go to law school.

good luck. DO NOT read anything law-related before 1L. it is counter-productive because you will think you know something. the only thing that matters is what your professor says. many people have batshit liberal torts professors that want you to write about frivolity.

What the fuck else is a rational choice given

1. Humanities degree

2. Opportunity to attend T10 LS

3. ITE / The Shitboomer Menace

Honestly, bros. I'm in a similar position and my research showed OCI was somewhat productive this past year.

Do not study in advance. If you want to do something productive, scam your way into a accounting/finance/SEC summer position. Alternative, intern at a big name F500 like Google or P&G. If you want to get some legal experience, do a summer paralegal gig, but only if it's at a really top end shop (e.g. Cravath or some shit).

if you want a big leg up on your classmates do this :

week 1: go to criminal court, sit in on preliminary hearings, motions, and a couple jury trials for a few hours

week 2: sit in on a civil trial - ideally a med mal, but a big auto accident if no med mal available, must be jury trial

week 2-4: read chemerinsky's constitutional law

week 5: e&e (example and explanations) evidence

week 6: read 4 civil procedure outlines of your choice http://www.vanderbilt.edu/vba/outline_bank/outlines (easy week, recharge)

week 7: LEEWS

week 8: Glannons Q&A for civ pro, avoid anything to do with the Erie Doctrine

week 9: attend trials at Federal Court, read FRE's during lunch / downtime

Now you're ready to rest, if you feel like you want to keep pushing bump this thread and I'll give you weeks 10-12

2) spend the summer developing an app. it doesn't need to be successful, but it'd be a fun project and you could do it in a couple months.

Make some money and save it.

Learn to cook a little bit, and basics like steaming vegetables or grilling chicken.

Ok, serious answer since you're super motivated. I would try to start working your way through these:

Moore's Federal Practice

Drone on Copyright

Wharton's Criminal Law (15th Ed.)

Williston on Contracts, 4th

Dobbs' Law of Torts

It will be a bit of a slog but you are obviously willing to go the extra mile and that will work to your advantage come exam time.

Law school = bad choice.

Go back to school and get your science credits. Study for the OAT. Become an optometrist.

Only 19 optometry schools in the country, six figure salary, and perhaps one of the chillest, easiest jobs you can possibly have.
