Take a deep breath and be happy, because I am not going to spill on the same old mundane issue of "how my life has eventually changed after one semester being in a law school" today. Well, not anymore.(Knowing, I'm still a late comer and a procrastinator. Proven due to the lagged post) But I will raise an issue to be thought over. An ordinary issue but if we begin to contemplate why, it gets your mind to function properly. Like it has never functioned before. Alright. Exaggeration spotted.
Let's talk about thing that we're all doing now. The existence of this blog to be precise.
Why else would law students of the past, present, and future take so fiercely to blogging? Is it a passion for putting figurative pen to figurative paper? Is it because we subconsciously or not so subconsciously exalt ourselves and think people care about what we have to say? Or is it merely because law students have a passion for words (b-law-g) that contain a law phoneme?
Why these other students from other fields such as Dentistry, Medicine, and Engineering do not have the immense interest like we do? Maybe they're not too happy to start up their entry by saying eerie and disgusting things like "Last morning I filled in a cavity..." and "I had a good time, playing and squishing the arteries of my patient. I've never seen anything as redder as her blood"
But is Law School interesting enough to be bragged about in a blog? The fact that controversial issues like homosexuality and abortion appeal more to them than other topics would. I reckon, it is because, if we blog, we know that what we've been talking about are almost universal stuff that can be fathomed by the ordinary people. Things and global issues that occurred around us that welcome these readers to give feedbacks on our entries.
Hang on. Did I just make us sound like attention-seekers?
Let's hope not because we might as well do not plan to be attention grabber through our online journals. What I really can relate to this is, perhaps it has to do with relevance. The law is everywhere, after all. Look at politics and its blog-wielding cadre. Political bloggers are pervasive, although that tends to be more for professional purposes than in pursuit of a hobby. How often do you read a political blog that discusses what the blogger ate for breakfast?
Do law students simply have too much time on their hands? HA HA HA [Insert fake laughs here]. I’m sure if I looked closely enough I would find other disciplines of study with a strong blogging community, but could it possibly be as expansive as the law blogging community? Everyone blogs. You tell me. Those who love the law (if any) or objecting the law (absolutely). Those aspiring lawyers. The ones who dream about being attorneys due to the massive influence from Law and Order or Legally Blonde that conveyed the message on fashion and law are related regardless bimbos will not be taken seriously in a law field.
Which once again raises the question, why do you and I blawg?
I don't want to hear any answers saying;
"because Puan Sitha told me to do so"
No. Not even near to that. Give me legally convincing answers please :)
Good luck for the finals!
Show them the parents that Law School is more to life than producing a whole lot more Karpal Singh wannabes in our legal system.
