Dear 1L,

Dear 1L, Almost all of you have exams coming up this week. I remember those December weekends well. It felt like the rest of the world was going on without me—on their merry, holiday way.

But I was cooped up all day in a studio apartment, studying.

Many of us on here remember our 1L falls well. Even though it was a long time ago, it was such an intense time of life. There are days from 1L fall seared into memory.

We are all pulling for you.

Remember that you are doing something noble. We, at least, think that it is a noble field, the law.

And you are working hard toward learning the craft. It is very important work you are doing.

Sending you energy and good cheer to help carry you through.

The long, fun holiday break is just around the corner!

Fondly,
💌 Amanda
