Back On The Chain Gang

Yesterday I got to be a mouthpiece for admissions by participating in Minnesota's "Campus Preview Days." I sat at the table for the Intellectual Property student group and it was actually kind of fun. It was interesting to see what a group of prospective students are like. There was a pretty normal cross-section of personality types (at least law school personality types).

• There was the tool, who practically ripped his little sweater vest by puffing his chest out after bragging about himself;
• The "I don't know" girl, who didn't really know what she wanted to do with her future law degree
• The concerned parent, who was there asking questions about what her daughter to do, despite the fact that the daughter had been out working in the "real world" for two years.

But mostly it was just smart kids trying to figure their lives out. Were we ever so young?
