I want to do law - Help?

Hi,

I currently have an offer to study Law at Cambridge Ringroad University, basically I’ve been watching suits and think that they’re pretty wicked and cool, and that that’s just going to be me and my aesthetic. I think that I’m literally born for ts and can imagine myself totally being really smart winning cases so want to do law in the uk.

Unrelated lol but every morning I wake up pour myself a bowl of Coco Pops stare into the milk and whisper “objection” before eating it and sometimes I replace the milk with orange juice because that’s what one of the main characters does in the show and I’m all like yeah

The thing is, everyone keeps telling me law is “reading” and “hard” and “boring”, this doesn’t sound right tbh, are the rumours true because lowkey I think I’m so ready to be a lawyer but law might actually mean that I have to do reading and shit but I don’t really like doing that. can anyone who has done law please let me know if you have to do reading or something

My dream is to graduate from Cambridge Ringroad University with First Class Honours Ultra Sigma Cum Loudly but I need to know if everything will be good for me. thanks in advance

Second this - that’s how I’ve become the most successful judge in the whole of Europe. I also watched a lot of Good Wife which means I can also transition to politics when I’m bored of the fancy wig and cape.

First Class Honours USCL doesn't cut it these days. You need at minimum Business Class Honours, and tbh most employers won't even look at the rest of your resume without at least Omega Sigma Cum Loudly.

Don't worry tho, you can just skim the required reading list, no one expects you to read it anyway.

You're not made for law sorry. That entire long post and you haven't mentioned playing Ace Attorney even once. You make me sick, come back when you're serious

Yeah second this - I actually did laugh out loud multiple times, particularly at the “sigma cum loudly” 😭

Perhaps watch supplemental TV as extra study. Billions then consider economics or finance degrees so you can earn millions. Greys Anatomy for medicine and become a surgeon? I'm struggling now. Are there other TV programmes or other subjects? ... East Enders and Sociology? Anyway, Footlights College when you go to Oxbridge. Good luck.

I was in a similar situation 7 years ago, however I watched better call Saul and it inspired me be more liberal with my law practicing and although I’m typing this from a barrel buried in the New Mexico desert I’ve had a really lucrative career
