Guest Submission: Reclaim Your Life

Hey folks - this is the first of the guest submissions.  This is brought to you by "MLU" MLU is taking BarBri for the Texas exam.  That's one of those crazy, three-dayers, right?  And MLU attended school in California.  Points for not taking that bar.  MLU has a blog.  Check it out at: http://mylegalunion.blogspot.com/

It's only week two of Barbri, but already, your life has been taken over. Consider yourself pwned. And then, next time you're sitting in class, consider these five ways to reclaim your life:

1. Arbitrarily unfriend a few Facebook friends. Talk about a power trip. Shelby - GOODBYE. Miriam - DELETE. Matt - POW POW. Who's in control now?! (Well, probably still Barbri, but it's a start.)

2. Wash your hands. Barbri may go all "Fifth Amendment taking" on your soul, but don't let it condemn your hygiene. Go ahead and wash your hands on that next ten-minute break. Maybe even use some soap. Live a little.

3. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, laugh at the professor's corny jokes. Don't do it. Just. Don't. Do. It. They're not even that funny. Okay, except for the one about Joan Rivers not being a natural person . . . and that other one about Bill Clinton's movie "Waiting to Inhale" . . .

4. When you find yourself analyzing real-life scenarios for possible claims - outside of class! - hit yourself in the head. Better yet, hit your funny bone against the nearest hard object. And don't ever do that out-of-class analysis ever again. It's not funny.

5. Start calling it "Barfbri." If you can't beat it, insult it. You'll feel better.
