“Why Men Love Bitches” – and do they? (Book Review and My Person Thoughts)

We’ve all heard of the book “Why men love bitches” and maybe if your a bitch like me you’ve been pondering whether or not you should read it.

Tbh i’ve wanted to read it for a while but just cbf, but i’ve finally read it and thought i’d share my thoughts with you girls (incase you also cbf to read it).

So why do men love bitches? And do they really?

Well it’s not actually about being a bitch (bad news for me) – it’s more about being your independent self – having friends, a career and not being boy-obsessed and doing everything for someone that isn’t worth it.

So here’s some “tips” from the book

  1. Don’t compete with other women

This is one of the first things the book talks about. Basically if a guy brings up other women act/be unbothered – because you don’t need to get jealous of other bitches – you’re THAT bitch.

This tip is 100% accurate and great to apply to your life – both in your dating life and just in your normal life.

Firstly if your seeing a guy and he keeps bringing up other girls – he’s doing it to play with you and make you insecure so don’t feed into it (and honestly drop him sis).

And Secondly, if your someone who gets super jealous of successful/pretty girls then you need to STOP. We’re all about girls supporting girls over here, so if i see a girl killing it in her career or with bomb ass hair i’ll appreciate it rather than being jealous.

And leading into the next point..

2. Act like a prize and he’ll think you are one

So relating to the other point – you don’t need to see other girls as competition because you’re a prize too!

Basically the book talks about how other people value you based on how you value yourself.

So, if you’re super insecure and think you suck – those thoughts rub off onto other people. And not to mention if you’re someone who constantly complains to others to seek validation or just because your annoying then PLEASE STOP.

No one wants to hang out with people who are a drag and keep going on about how much their life sucks and how they hate their boyfriend and how they’re fat. Like we’re all trying to have fun here and your negative energy will rub off on others.

Also those negative thoughts will manifest if you keep repeating them. Instead be positive and make improvements in your life to be more confident in yourself.

3. BE INDEPENDANT

So – don’t be a needy bitch and for the love of God DO NOT CHASE MEN.

I feel like this point is kind of self explanatory, but if you want a partner who’s actually like a good, cool person and not an emotionally abusive piece of shit, then you should be an independent woman.

And being needy will only attract dumb men that play on your insecurities.

Also i know the whole ‘feminism split the bill’ thing is really in but i’m not about that life. A man should still be a man and if he actually wants you he’ll chase you and show you that he appreciated your time – don’t settle for anything less (remember you’re a prize).

So girls if someone treats you like shit – they’re so not worth your time.

MY THOUGHTS

okay so i gave my thoughts above but just a little ~recap~.

All in all, i think this book is awesome and full of great advice.

Although its positioned as a dating advice book, it’s so broadly applicable to your everyday life, and although these tips will help you get a guy actually worth your time it’ll also improve your career, friendships and self-worth.

So don’t wait around for a guy to put your whole life into.

Instead, focus on your career, doing things your passionate about, having fun with friends, and being confident in yourself – and when you meet the right guy he’ll see how great you are and you won’t attract any losers!

I definitely recommend you girls check out the book for yourself – it’s full of great advice and don’t let the bad ass title mislead you – it’s all about self love.

Until next time,

Life as an Unemployed Bad Bitch in The City (Life Update)

Hey Girlies!

Today i have another life update for you – i’m still unemployed, still a bad bitch and still doing absolutely nothing with my life.

Okay so life is good and all but like what am i really doing? having fun and spending money (yay) but i’m also super stressed because my life isn’t moving forward (and hasn’t for like over a year).

I know there’s a global pandemic going on but why is it so hard to get a job? and university is still online and my friends are all busy – ugh.

Okay anyways so heres the update

  1. Job Search

So i know i’m not the most experienced person in the city but why the hell is it so hard to get a job? Like even a basic retail job? I’m at a high rated university and i have experience in a bunch of shit and no one will hire me. I keep applying and applying and interviewing and interviewing and… nothing.

This has been a serious cause for my annoyance and stress as of recent (and has caused me to break out leading to even more stress and annoyance).

So is it just the market??? Or is it me.

Anyways for this topic i am going to stay positive. I interviewed for a sick job last week and i’m manifesting that they’ll call me back and offer me the job today and i’ll start next week. (positive energy only ~)

2. People pissing me off

Okay so people have been seriously testing me recently.

First of all – MY TAXI DRIVER!

Okay so last Monday i took a $38 cab ride and he double charged me!!! So i literally payed like almost $80 for a 15 minute trip. Not only that but the taxi companies customer service is utter shit and it’s taken them like a week to do absolutely nothing.

Secondly i don’t know why but everyone and everything has been annoying me lately – specifically the sun and the people at my gym (idk why but they just have been) and i can’t shake this irritation off me. Maybe i should go on a yoga routine or something to calm down (open to suggestions bellow xx).

Ummmm okay so that’s pretty much all.

Honestly writing out my stressors has made me realise i have like nothing to be stressed about. I’ll get offered the job today (manifesting) and the cab company will get back to me, and even if they don’t – no big.

I’m sending positive vibes out into the universe and receiving them xxx

Anyways… this was kind of a useless post. I’ll get back to my fashion posts this week but just needed to rant quickly.

Lots of love besties

Every pretty bitch needs a pair of super cute black booties!

  1. LEATHER BOOTIES

Black boots go with literally everything – and you can NEVER go wrong with a pair of these! Just make sure they’re leather AND have some type of heel (no one likes a flat book) – here are my go to’s.

FRAME – Le Skinny Coated Jeans – https://www.revolveclothing.com.au/r/DisplayProduct.jsp?aliasURL=frame-le-skinny-coated-jean-in-noir-coated/dp/FAME-WJ144&d=F&currency=AUD&countrycode=AU&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4L2BBhCvARIsAO0SBdbq8R4G4-AapaeVJKim_g-JSVUfi5TslmWSJ1Dr7wCdApAQk0mKUxwaAr0YEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&product=FAME-WJ144

These are my faves

3. WORKOUT SET

And number 3 on the list is… a workout set! Due to the athleisure craze of the 2010’s and 20’s, every pretty girl needs a super cute workout set that will take you from brunch to spin class!

My fave look is the classic crop + leggings + oversized zip up hoodie – bonus points if their the same colour!

My Personal Fave is anything Aloyoga but any cute set you feel confident in is perfect – just throw it on and walk around the city à la Kaia Gerber.

4. FUR COAT

A fur coat is an IT girl essential, not only is it totally HF chic, but it’ll keep you warm AND match perfectly with your leather pants – (BONUS POINTS if its cheetah print – so Kate Moss!)

5. TENNIS SHOES

Another basic! I mean we can’t be running around the city with heels all the time and we need a cute little white sneaker to go with our athleisure fits! Any will do but PREFERABLY crisp white tennis shoes (for the ultimate IT girl look).

6. NAME NECKLESS

Okay so i don’t care if you think this is so early 2000’s or vein – i’m OBSESSED with name neckless’s and always have been! You get to have a go to accessory that’s super chic and matches with every outfit PLUS if someone forget’s your name they can just read it off your neckless and avoid the awkward-ness.

Even better – with the invention of the internet you no longer have to rely on your local mall kiosk to stock the beloved name neckless – you can just go on Etsy and get your name in any style you like – whether you want your name in Arabic or just an understated initial!

And just like Carrie Bradshaw it can remind you to be proud of YOU.

7. MINI SKIRT

No one can have too many mini skirts. They go with literally anything – you can wear one with a sweater to your lunch date and then a cute crop top for drinks later – leather, denim, pleated, plaid it doesn’t matter, just fill your closet with this pretty bitch essential.

To Date or Not To Date – The Notorious “Finance Bro”.

As someone doing a business degree you think I wouldn’t be one to talk shit about the notorious ‘finance bro’. But i, more than ANYONE know the horrific nature of them – being that I deal with the pre-finance bro’s at uni and mingle with the current finance bro’s at parties.

In the city there is an INFESTATION of finance bro’s. They walk the streets head to toe in their classic uniform – either in their suit whilst post- work bar hopping or their ‘weekend attire’ which consists of polos, Patigonia vests and slacks. They all come from daddy’s money and of course – play lacrosse, (Also definitely named Nate, Greg, Zach or Kyle).

They say If you’ve met one finance bro you’ve met them all – and it’s true. They’re all the same bread of money hungry, drug loving Wolf-of-Wall Street wannabes who mansplain their way through the day.

And despite this horrific stereotype – we still go for the finance bro’s. Why???

Well, maybe because they take up a majority of the dating scene and despite all the shit I just talked they SOMETIMES end up being charming. (although that soon wears off).

Okay so i know what you’re thinking right now, who is “we”. I may be on my own here, especially in a day and age of girls going crazy over e-boy tiktoker’s but i love the finance bro.

So even though this blog started as a shit post, here is me trying to justify my taste in men by showing the three reasons you too should go for the ‘finance bro’.

  1. He has a good job and is hard working

okay so ignoring the part were i talked about daddy’s money. Finance bro’s usually are pretty hard working. They have a great job, good work ethic, money and connections, even if they were given all those things on a silver platter.

2. Hot and actually take care of themselves

I know we all love bad boys but sometimes the. greasy hair and lack of future prospects is just not going to cut it. I love a guy who smells nice, wears a tailored suit and has nicely done hair – and you should too.

3. ….

Okay so idk if there is a third reason, but the first too sum it up perfectly. And once your done sifting through the finance bros who are still in their frat bro phase, you may come out with a good one!

So, what do you guys think? Yes or No to the notorious Finance Bro.

Back To The City (goodbye hometown)

Ahhhh coronavirus sure has changed the lives of many people – unemployment, online school and lack of travel, it’s hard to imagine what life was like before. Don’t worry guys this blog isn’t another bore-feast about covid, we see enough about that on the news. This blog post is about how during covid times i have moved out of the city (gasp). Why??? well everyone else left due to school going online. So for a few months i was left by myself in a shut down city with only take away cafe’s and socially distanced shopping sessions.

At first i thought it would be fun! i mean, no school is great i can just catch up on my work later and focus on having fun with my friends. But after everyone fled the city and i was stuck in my apartment with nothing to do, i too decided to get on a plane back home. Actually not even a plane just a taxi because my family only lives like an hour away.

It sure was a shock to my new reality of city life, which i have experienced for the past 5 years. I mean it’s not like i come from a small town but i do come from a beach city – picture people with chanel bags wearing flip-flops and lots of surfers.

So i said goodbye to girl’s dinners every night, espresso martinis and strolls through the shopping district and hello to tanning, spending more time with my childhood friends and…. well nothing else. You guys i was basically bored out of my mind for the few months i went home. I mean i love my family and friends there but because school was online and i don’t have a job i was legit just waiting around all day. So now i’m finally in my true home – back at the city.

Thank god for my social-self university is back in person, shops and restaurants are basically all open again and most importantly – bars and the gym!!! My life is finally back to normal.

So, i’ve been back for a week and i’m super exited to start blogging about my real life again and forget that 3 month blur.

Sure covid isn’t over but i hope it is soon, and when it is i will finally be able to fly out to Italy to see my Italian-boo. But for now, back to the city.

Gossiping and Judging People

Ahhh, my two favourite hobbies watching the bachelor and calling my bestie to judge and rant about all of the contestants. I mean Some people do arts and crafts. We judge. That’s what we do. It’s a hobby, a past time, even a lifestyle.

However judgement is bad right? But it’s so fun and whole businesses are built upon it – gossip magazines, Instagram accounts that bitch about influencers photoshop and Facebook pages for the bachelor.

What’s so bad about judging anyways??

You can be a nice person and engage in constructive critique in the privacy of your own home.

There are 2 types of judging – either you’re just being a bitch or you’re analysing and commenting on certain events in ones lives – the latter is absolutely acceptable and i won’t pretend it’s not. Saying that someone’s shoes are ugly is totally acceptable! I think we should embrace judgement.

Anyways this essay about gossiping and judgement comes after i have been called out for doing just that. This also relates to my last blog post on frenemies! Ugh, by now i should know who my friends are and who my frenemies are and that the latter are SNAKES, who cannot be trusted with confidential info!

After spilling the gossip of an acquaintance’s impending divorce to one of my backstabbing friends. She, well… she told everyone within a 10 mile radius. Normally i try not to get involved in people’s relationships but this drama was so juicy – like a story line right out of gossip girl with a cheating husband, a backstabbing nanny and a rebound with a best friend… you can put the rest of the story together. Anyways i found out about it from the acquaintance’s brother, someone i would also consider a frenemy – we talk a lot and have known each other for years but hate each other and unfortunately stay in each others lives because we’re in the same circle. Anyways i blabbed about this to my friend, lets call her Maddison, and Maddison blabbed her mouth all through the city. I swear everywhere i went for a whole week straight i was stopped by people i knew in the street asking if it was true.

However, at this stage i wasn’t fussed because nobody knew it was me, that is until the soon-to be divorce contacted Maddison begging to find out who told her, andddd it didn’t take her long to point the finger at me. Even though, let’s be real i was not responsible for this getting out. I only told one person, Maddison was the one who spread it around, anyways i digress.

Once the divorcee found out it was me she came at me guns blazing through a targeted instagram attack. She called me out by name and said i was an untrustworthy snake. Athough she never said what rumor i spread, enough people knew about it to understand what she was talking about.

Thankfully i don’t follow that girl on social media but my lest friend Luca does, and let’s just say people were not happy. All of her friends shared support for her in the comments, with some of them even saying their not surprised. Hello? i don’t even know who you are Michelle stop digging me deeper into this hole.

So after this attack on social media, i went out for brunch with my friend the next day and despite the city being so big, you always run into the worst people at the worst time. That’s exactly what happened to me. I ran into the divorcee’s best friend… UGH! She’s a crazy bitch anyways but me upsetting her bestie made her 10x worse, and instead of my enjoyable Sunday brunch i found myself being yelled at on the side walk. She was even eyeing my iced latte so i skulled it in 3 seconds incase she was about to throw it at me.

Anyways here i am now, what an eventful weekend. I haven’t left my. house in the last day, in attempt to avoid being attacked on the street again. Honestly i hope this just fades away and the divorcee realises that Maddy is super fake and cuts her out. But this will blow over and at least i got an interesting story for my blog.

Let me know what you think – is gossiping/judging people bad? Or can we just not help ourselves.

Know Thou Frenemy – The Fun in Toxic Friendships.

Real friendships are great. People to talk to, share your problems, give you fashion advice and gossip about the people you dislike or are jealous of. But what about frenemies? You know – like Serena and Blair in season one of Gossip Girl going head to head.

Toxic friendships that thrive on putting each other down and power catch ups to further your career, boast about your career/ men in your life or your new Prada booties. Nothing Boosts your Seritonin more than boasting about how great your life is and seeing a jealous bitch smile and congratulate you with envy.

Recently I had one of these infamous power catch ups with my most coveted frenemy – let’s call her Lauren. Me and Lauren two years back and despite having everything in common – blonde hair, a love of fashion, both doing business degrees. However opposites attract and people who are so similar tend to clash. My best friend is a down to earth artist and my biggest rival is an exact replica of myself.

Since meeting, me and Lauren continue to run in the same circles – both go to the same college, live in the same city within a 5km radius and attend the same events/clubs/restaurants ect. So every so often we both run into each other and schedule a lunch catch up to gossip about people from high school, catch up on pop culture and the newest trends presented in the recent issue of vogue.

Anyways after that long ass intro and back story we finally get to the crux of this blog – why is there such a negative connotation towards frenemies???

Recently I read an article that talked about how to drop toxic friendships and get rid of all the frenemies in your life – you know people that secretly put you down, smile at your recent breakup or job loss whilst fake comforting you and gossiping about people in a guise to put you down in turn. You know all the fake smiles and the shared embellished antidotes of each other’s lives. However I have to disagree – I don’t think all frenemies are bad.

We all know toxic relationships on any level are no good. But toxic friendships are my guilty pleasure. The type of frenemy relationship were you can meet up and gossip about everyone you’ve ever met, rant about your problems and boast about your success. Are they happy for you? No. They passively aggressively dig at you. You got a raise? Oh congratulations you made so little before you meet that don’t you kiss. The type of friendship where if you accidentally saw them in public while looking horrible you’d sprint the other way.

But what’s so wrong with having people you clash with in your life and have fake chats – if anything it just makes you want to do better in life and have a hotter Instagram feed to rub in their face

So my take on toxic friendships is that – it’s fun! Sometimes it gets to the point where you hate them and they do you dirty and then you have to drop them immediately and never look back!!!

HOWEVER, if it’s a fun feud that lets you brag, bitch and strive to achieve – I don’t see anything wrong with it! So my concensus is that you should frenemy on!

Lots of love – miumiuandthecity

Faux Designer – Friend or Foe?

Whilst scrolling through TikTok for the past few days, I’ve seen an alarming increase in a particular theme of videos on my for your page. All of these 15 seconds clips revolve around one particular type of good – Fake Designer Items! Anything you can imagine, from Chanel flap bags to Dior sneaker and the over-hyped Cartier love bracelets. These videos get hundreds of thousands of views and countless comments asking for the link, with viewers exclaiming their excitement for their new faux designer pair of heels.

This got me thinking… How do we feel about fake designer goods? On one hand sure its “the same thing” for way cheaper – so you can get the designer look without going into crippling debt. However, while viewing these videos I couldn’t help but feel no spark. Normally when I see someone show off their pink Chanel flap bag my face lights up with joy. But the fake thing did not spark the same amount of excitement. It just isn’t special anymore when its made of plastic and takes 2 months to ship from a poorly run factory.

And not to mention, a lot of these rip-off products go from $100-$150, so they’re not crazy cheap either.

So this got me thinking, are we so obsessed with the status that we’d rather buy poor quality, fake designer goods rather than better quality, no-name designs in a similar price range? Are we, as a society so obsessed with designer goods and so materialistic we go to these measures?

I’ll be the first to admit, i am a die-hard fan of luxury goods. I guess you could say i’m a tad materialistic myself and am not very frugal with my money. But i don’t think i’d be able to go out in public with a fake designer good. That might sound classist, but i just don’t get the point. I’d rather buy a dupe than a fake – or better yet just a bag i like within my price range from another store.

So I took to the internet to do my research and see if other people had the same idea as me. And turns out a lot of people do – especially people older than 17! Figures.

The consensus seems to be that people buy fake designer to keep up with the jones’s – or more accurately – keeping up with influencers.

In the materialistic state of influencers, bloggers, and celebrities, all of whom seem to have endless money to spend on real designer items. People feel the need to do the same. I believe there is a theory that explains this phenomenon but tbh i can’t be bothered to research it.

Anyhow, I’ve come to the conclusion that fake designer items are a foe of mine. An enemy to the beauty of luxury fashion. No bad blood towards people who love their fake designer (like one TikTok account who had about 30 fake bags – wow), but it’s just not for me.

Let me know your thoughs, Faux Designer – Friend or Foe?

Confessions of a Shopaholic

During quarantine I’ve been exercising a habit I’ve always been fond of – shopping! 

While other people are making whipped coffee and banana bread while they’re stuck inside, I’ve been scrolling through Revolve, Asos and Harrold’s for hours on end.

Before quarantine I would scroll whilst waiting for a taxi or watching the bachelor. But, i’ve always been more of an in store shopper, there’s just something about the window displays at David Jones and the pushy shop assistants complimenting me that makes me grab out my card.

However, after the full lock down in April my mall shopping addiction transformed into a hobby more appropriate for the digital age – online shopping. Soon this hobby turned into an addiction I felt I had no control of.  The packages came in at alarming rates, stacking up in the lobby of my apartment building. One time I had to make multiple trips up the stairs because i couldn’t carry all of my packages at once. And now that I’m on a first name basis with my post man, I’ve realised my habit has gotten out of control. 

At first it wasn’t too bad. I mean I needed new leggings and Nike air’s for the only activity I was able to do – walking around my neighbourhood to grab a takeaway coffee. Just the essentials right? 

However the online shopping addiction grew with countless pairs of sunglasses, a few plaid skirts, a mountain of brandy Melville clothing and new home decor. I figured that since I’m bored at home this was pretty productive use of my time – I mean getting my closet in order and redecorating my home. It was all harmless fun, until I checked my account and, to my surprise saw I’ve had the same amount of savings for the past 3 months. However this wasn’t my wake up call to my shopaholic tendencies. After all most women in their early 20s don’t even have any savings. So i wasn’t doing anything wrong. Right? 

Well my harmless Brandy Melville and Lululemon shopping addiction spiralled out of control after binge watching the best show show ever made – Sex and The City.

There’s something about Carrie walking through the streets of rainy New York City in a hideous fur coat and killer heals that made me realise – I need a pair of Manolo’s.

Being a 20 something year old girl stuck into her house thanks to Corina virus, I definitely wasn’t in the market to drop 2 thousand dollars on a pair of designer heels. However I could justify spending it on flats right? I could walk to and from my local coffee shop in them everyday and they’ll go great with all the skirts I’ve bought recently so I’ll get my money’s worth! When I placed the order I instantly put it in the back of my mind. I knew it was wrong, but it felt so right!!!

And in a week they’ll arrive and i’ll be able to walk around the empty city in my gorgeous black ballet flats. i mean they’re super cute right???

Ughhhh I know I’m a shopaholic but look how beautiful they are! Definitely worth the extra time it’ll take to pay off my student loans. 

Anyways, this whole situation got me thinking. Is being a shopaholic really so bad? Or is it something that people who don’t like fancy shit or can’t afford it tell us materialistic girls to make themselves feel superior? Like people who brag about not watching reality tv! So what if I like the real housewives and drinking copious cosmopolitans instead of drinking kombucha and going on hikes. So what if I have an addiction to clothing, makeup and designer footwear. If it doesn’t cripple you financially – then why not splurge? Sure you should find other things that fulfil your life, like relationships and experiences. But, in a pinch why not fill the void with a nice pair of shoes in order to have happiness in your life… at least momentarily.

10 Different Types Of People You’ll Meet In Law School

If you’re currently at law school or have been to law school (or even stepped foot in a law lecture) you’ll probably notice that in every class you’ll see the same type of people. So here’s the 10 types of people you’ll meet in law school.

  1. The Gunner / know it all / Arguer

They put their hand up and have an opinion for anything and everything. The know it all also acts like they, well – know it all! Even if they have no idea what theyre talking about they’ll spew out a bunch of made up facts and have a very strong stance on politics that they push on people by repeating everything they heard in a ted talk or read in a book. This is the same person who’s family told them they should be a lawyer because they can argue about anything – as if that’s the only thing lawyers do.

2. The one who won’t shut up about going to law school

Similar to the know it all this person has an opinion on everything and tries to push that opinion on everyone they meet. They act like they know everything because they’re a law student and can’t stop talking about it! All their hobbies are law related – such as reading the newspaper and watching people argue about policy.

3. The do godder

This law student normally comes from a rich slightly corrupt family and chooses to rebel by going against their family and helping people. They’re almost always left wing and has a strong stance on politics that they like to push on people and probably question their morals/ethics when they disagree.

4. The hot one

If you take a look around a torts lecture you typically won’t see the best looking individuals. What is it about law school that attracts un attractive people? Or is it just that people are too busy studying to put any effort into their looks? Either way law students are kind of known for not loooking like Ariana Grande and therefore if you’re even slightly attractive or even if you just have nice hair you’ll be seen as the hot one, which can be a blessing or a curse. You’ll either get invited to everyone’s study group or no ones as people will either think you won’t want to join or you’re too superficial.

5. The one who does everything

This person, unlike the arguer – actually knows everything and does everything! They’ll be president of every society they can and dedicate all their spare time to debating, mooting and going to guest lectures. This person is normally who everyone strives to be and when they graduate they’ll definitely get the best job offers.

6. And…. the ones who do nothing.

Law society? Debating team? Mentoring? This law student may have never even heard of these as they usually don’t attend class and love using the phrase “P’s get degrees”. They usually don’t do anything better with their time and chose to go to law school after watching suits.

7. The one who’s secretly smart

You’ll see this person around and usually they don’t talk a lot about law related things so you just assume their the average student. But then they’ll mention their amazing internship and the scholarship they got or the teacher will call them out as the top of the class or they’ll casually mention they’re going to the international mooring competition and then revert back to talking about Tana Mongeau and Jake Paul’s engagement. This student puts fear in the eyes of the know it all and the people who do everything as they’re smart, motivated and not super annoying.

8. The drop out

After a few weeks in law school you’ll realise the person that used to sit 2 seats from you isn’t their anymore. And when the teacher cold calls ‘ally smith’ everyone will just look around. These students are also called ‘ghosts’ and probably just chose a law degree as they got good grades and want a high paid job without having to do anything maths/science related.

9. The old guy

The old person in class who’s been an accountant for the past 20 years and thinks young people can’t buy houses because we spend too much on avocado toast. They give the know it all a run for his money by raising his hand for every question and always brings his personal experience into it.

10. The drunk guy

The drunk guy / frat guy goes out every weekend and definitely took a gap year backpacking around Europe. He’s outspoken, always unprepared and always talks about ‘sharing notes’ despite never writing his own. Bonus points if he asks you to send him your assignment so he can ‘check the structure’.

So these are 10 types of people you’ll definitely meet in-law school.
