Why studying for the bar exam is like being pregnant:
-Although you try with all possible effort, you are bound to gain a good 10-30 pounds.
-The mood swings: the only people who don't annoy are the people who are experiencing it with you or have experienced it before.
-The desire to drink, but the obligation to abstain from it.
-The closer you get to that final day, you teeter between two emotions: (1) the terror of going through such a horrific and long (sometimes over 15 hours) experience and (2) the overwhelming excitement to just be done with it.
-You wonder if the end result is what you wanted in the first place.
-You could not own enough pairs of elastic pants.
-You go back and forth between resenting what is going to result after months of agonizing preparation, and cherishing it.
-The muscle aches, the back pains, and the non-stop desire but inability to sleep.
-When people find out what you're going through, they feel that it is their duty to tell you their horror stories about when they went through it.
-It's a personal choice, that many come to regret, until they reach the end.
-Complete abstinence is the only way to guarantee that it won't ruin your life.
-It leads to great results, if carried through its distant, bloody end.
-A bizarre wardrobe that you never want to see again after it's over.
-You know there is a lot to be happy about, but you have nothing to show for it.
-Breathing exercises, people...breathing exercises.
-Numerous exams are taken in preparation to make sure everything will be alright.
-A practice run to the testing center/hospital is a must.
-Final preparations are made, including packing a suitcase/clear ziplock bag.
-Costs thousands of dollars...pushing most into debt, while they have no earning capacity.
-If you don't succeed the first time, your chances of succeeding the next time are cut in half.
Unfortunately, expectant mothers don't have to go through 3 years of schooling, spend up nearly $100k and pass a character and fitness test in order to have a child...
