Tips to survive law school
1. Uminom ng Pepsi Max kung sawa na sa kape.
2. De-stress every 30 minutes with a headbanger song.
3. Avoid bed romps (hehe). The after-effect beats the purpose of keeping yourself awake.
4. Take Extra Joss and Glutaphos. So what if these do not work? At least you’ve conditioned your mind that these work so these should really work.
5. Huwag na huwag makikinig sa senti songs unless you want your thoughts to wander in the middle of trying to grasp the ideas behind uber-difficult cases and readings.
6. Take advantage of the free wifi at the law library but make sure that you did not take with you your laptop adaptor so dalawang oras ka lang magbababad sa internet, pretending you are searching for cases online when in fact, you are happily chatting away, hiding behind alternicks in PinoyExchange and updating your blog on Friendster.
7. Reading while in a moving vehicle is supposed to be bad for your eyes but when every second counts, especially when you’re riding the MRT and you happen to be standing, master the art of embracing the steel (iron?) bar with one arm and supporting your book/readings on the other. And if I may add, please, with poise. You’re supposed to look dignified when you’re a law student.

From Dean Agabin: Three professionals, a lawyer, a doctor and a priest were shipwrecked and as were thus, stuck in an island. The mainland is not that far from the island so the three just decided to brave the shark-infested sea and swim for it. The priest tried it out first. After a few meters, he was, unfortunately gobbled up by the shark. The doctor suffered the same fate. However, when it was already the lawyer’s turn, he was able to make it to the mainland alive. When the shark was interviewed on why it didn’t eat the lawyer, it was quoted as saying, "Oh, that’s professional courtesy." =p
