2
weeks ago, the Supreme Court of the Philippines named over three thousand
new lawyers of the Philippine Bar
2016. It was one of the highest passing percentage
in history with 59% of the takers, passing the bar. Way to inspire an aspiring
lawyer like me! And to top that, Atty Justin Morilla was able to place Ateneo
de Davao University in spot number 5 among others who were also not from Manila
school. That raised brows from everywhere including cringe-worthy posts from
Imperial Manila undermining the capacity of "promdi" lawyers.
But that's not for me to discuss. This isn't going to be political at all.
Promise.
Wow! They passed the bar! Wow! They
topped the bar! How did those humanoids achieve all that? While I'm just here,
on break from my unending readings, trying to survive (read: barely surviving)
this semester. And while my heart, body and brain are all still elated from
that awe inspiring 2016 Philippine Bar Exam results, I want to look back on the
law school memes and mementos that mirrored the first years of my law school
life.

Elle Woods made it look so easy with her pink
everything number, cute smile, cuter dog and a truckload of confidence and
smart mouth. She even started the "Nagmahal, nasaktan, nag Law" 10
years ago before all the millennial hugots came to play.
Is law school really fun? Spoiler
Alert: It's no fun at all!
I enrolled in law school after a go signal from
my Dad (after 6 years of bugging him). I didn't even bother to inform him I
enrolled. I was adulting (or so I thought), paid everything and decided that
this is a good investment for my future. This is my most logical, adult,
sensible but subtle way of telling them to stop bothering me about working
abroad.

I excitedly bought the codals. Lol. Codals. And that was when I
realized that English can seem elvish. And that everytime I read a provision,
it felt like I was summoning a demon or something.
