Overheard as I walked to lunch (imagine world-weary cadences):

I mean, it's hard as a 1L to even IMAGINE having a day off. I don't know what I'd do with myself. I'd probably just get up and sit there in a stupor.

I don't mean to pick on this gentleman. But law students of the future, believe me, this type of attitude may fit the urban legends of what 1L is about. But truly, it is a choice you make, not your inevitable fate.

Aside from the question of whether not taking days off benefits your performance (it doesn't) a 1L who honestly feels he doesn't have the ability to take a day off is doing something wrong.
