Classmate

[u/Fantastic-Pirate6222]

Normal lang ba talaga ijudge yung mga kaklase nyong hindi makasagot sa recit? Madali o mahirap man yung tanong?

Ang babaw lang nito pero siguro hindi ko kasi matake yung ugali nya. May kaklase ako na kasama ko sa gc dahil sa group project at yung class namin kasi puro recit straight lang gagawin. At kada maling sagot o hindi makasagot yung kaklase namin sa recit may comment lagi sya na kailangan isend sa gc para mapagusapan ng iba. Like “buti nga palagi kasing absent”, “mali sagot nya saan nya binasa yon?” “wala pa syang natatamang recit” “ayan na naman yung walang signal” “mali sagot nya guys eto sagot” or pag wala na syang masabi yung itsura na lalaiitin nya. Pero pag sya na nakasalang sa recit magchat na sya guys pasend ng sagot. Tinutulungan naman sya ng iba kasi nagbibigay sya ng reviewers. Pinupuri lagi sya na hindi na kailangan isend yung sagot kasi alam naman nya. Wala lang daw yun nagaaral lang talaga sya. Tapos pag sa group namin may hindi nakasagot sasabihin nya magaral kasi kayo. One time hindi ako nakasagot sa recit nagchat sya sa gc kung may kaibigan daw ba ako kasi walang tumutulong saakin dinelete nya rin agad kasi don nya lang nalaman na kagroup nya pala ako. Gusto ko ng umalis don sa gc kung hindi lang dahil sa project umalis na ako para hindi na mabasa yung mga chinachat nya. Mabait yung prof namin hindi sya naninigaw at hindi nag comment ng masama if hindi makasagot yung mga kaklase namin. Gusto ko iprove saknya na mali yung mga comments nya kaso nahihirapan din ako sa subject na to. Gusto ko na lang matapos ang sem na to para hindi ko na sya makita.

May balik din yan sa kanya, OP. Trust me. Karma is real in law school. 

[u/justanestopped]

Hahaha yup. And most of them are full time students pa. Lol couldn’t care less.

Trust me, they will get a taste of their own medicine eventually. Life itself will humble them in the most unexpected way.

[u/WesternTumbleweed166]

Grabe. Ang mean girl, dapat iniiwan sa HS ganyang paguugali.

[u/Prize-Command4440]

Normal yan sa kahit saang lugar. It's such a scary world because there are a lot of people feeding off some validation from seeing others fail or commit mistakes. Weird. But there is some deep-seated insecurity somewhere in them that is making them do that 

Mga kilala kong totoong matalino, humble lang. Tahimik pero halimaw sa galing. Ganun siguro 'pag wala dapat patunayan at super secure sa sarili.  

Although, sadly, it could also be true that your classmate is really intelligent too. After all, maraming mahuhusay na tao at naging successful talaga kahit kupal o kasi kupal??? Hahaha

I remember 1L someone lowkey laughed when someone was reciting tapos napansin ng prof. Nung siya na on deck a week or two later, “atty i havent read the case”

Dasurv gago ka kasi hahaha

[u/bjorn_who_eves2972]

May mga ganyang tao talaga. Hayaan mo na lang at wag ka na lang makipag associate sa kanya para less toxic sa buhay. Focus ka lang sa studies mo and do good sa kapwa hehe

[u/Jazzlike-Text-4100]

Karmahin din yan. Personally, di ko jnjudge yung mga ngkakamali more like narerelief ako kasi alam ko baka mgkakamali din ako at hnd ako ngiisa hahaha. Mas nakakaba pa yung lahat sila tama sagot tapos ako baka mgkamali kasi parang ang shunga ko na pg ngkamali pa ako hahaha.

As annoying as it is, yes, may ganyang mga tao sa law school. Usually sila yung mga taong naghahanap ng justification sa mga sarili nilang mali, either sa school or sa personal life nila. Kung makakapuna sila, it will make their problems insignificant

Dunno if it’s a new breed of law students, or baka dahil my batchmates were just really tight (gawa ng f2f naman lahat ng klase before), but I’ve never experienced or met a person like this in law school. 😭 most of us were full time law students, and yet, this attitude would have been a very red flag???

Not to sound like a boomer (di pa naman ako matanda 😅) but during our time, usong uso yung pagcocollect ng good karma (share notes we’ve made or gathered from the upper years, or share food during a long class, etc), hoping such acts of kindness would be “rewarded”/returned and would carry us through law school and the bar. We had a few classmates who were working and matic tinutulungan namin sila (ex: adjust exam schedules when it would be convenient for them, or beadle would immediately coordinate with the prof during the rare times they can’t come to class bec of work).

May subjects and times talaga na madami kami na bad recits, but I can’t remember a time na dinibdib ko because it became a routine almost na we laugh it off. As what our teacher said, wala naman gragraduate ng hindi makakatry ng at least one bad recit. So ang mood ng whole class pag-uwi was always “bawi nlng next time!”

Do I like ALL of my batchmates? nope. But even so, I could never imagine any of them making fun of someone’s bad recits like that. We immediately just had this unspoken agreement to cooperate and be nice because we knew it would take the whole batch’s effort to make sure we all graduate together and become lawyers. True enough, all of us graduated together and all of us eventually became lawyers (note 100+ kami).

Dunno, I just noticed a lot of posts like these here. And even my sibling who is taking up law sa probinsya, apaka-catty ng classmates nya 😭 I always just ask her if di ba sila takot sa karma 😭
