The Pinnacle of Awesomeness

The new crop of the The Texas Law Review was announced today. Congratulations to the winners - there is really no other way to say it—you are incredibly awesome and now everyone knows it. Just to be sure, though, it doesn’t hurt to mention how awesome you are, in case someone has been living in a cave and didn’t hear the big announcement about the crowning of the new intellectual ubermencsh, the crème de la crème, the new members of Volume 85. Just remember, it isn't all sexy parties and talking about obscure legal theories with self-obsessed people who have multiple intials in their name. Being on the Texas Law Review is an incredible responsibility.

People will treat you differently now. Like when a young woman blossoms into a lady, law firms will start to take notice of you. Oh, and the parties they will throw. Imported beers, meats on a stick, and shiny brochures full of information about why you should waste 5-7 years of your life helping big corporations fight over money. Your fellow students will also treat you differently. Some will be haters, but they only hate themselves for not being as awesome as you. Some will cling to you for just the chance to get an outline or a free breakfast taco.

To sum up, you are awesome. You will devote a good deal of time to TLR the next two years, and while the common people spend their free time out at the lake slamming beers, fornicating, and racing jet skis, your awesomeness will be your solace. As the cheers rise up from Darrell K. Royal Memorial Stadium during a Saturday afternoon cite-check, just imagine the fans are cheering for you—the quarterback of legal scholarship. After all, you just found two incorrectly italicized periods. Welcome to the Law Review—it’s totally awesome.
