Only 7 Shopping Days Until Christmas

In a panic because you're a law student that won't have a chance to start your Christmas shopping until after finals (when there is only a mere 3 days left)? On a tight budget, because you didn't take out the extra loan money to cover holiday gifts? Here's a suggestion from the LawBitches (other than macaroni necklaces, of course) that will solve all of your inexpensive last minute gifts:

We Came. We Were Snarky. We Disbanned.

The short story: we blogged pretty voraciously while in law school until halfway through our 3L year when law school drama interceded. We abruptly shut down, fearing exposure that would impact our full-time employment options.

Sometimes, there is, unfortunately, no humor in law school or the legal profession.

That was years ago. Since then, we're all gainfully employed. Of the LawBitches, one is a partner and two others are associates in small firms, two are solo practitioners, one works for the government, one is an in-house counsel, one work in non-traditional job in corporate America, and two are also adjunct professors at a law school.

The point is: we all survived. But if you ask us if we're happy? Or if we'd do it over again? Well, you'd get differing responses.

The bottom line: Before you decide to go to law school, be aware -- be very aware -- of what you are getting yourself into.
