To my fellow walking-dead,
As you all know, our first final is a week and a day away. And for my section, half of an exam is on Thursday. It's officially time to panic. If there was an entrance sign to hell, I'm pretty sure it would look just like my property outline (or attempt at starting one). For all of you who have already finished all your outlines and are prepared for the MC exam in con law on Thursday, don't talk to me, I hate your face.
The problem with MC questions is that many of the answers seem plausible. For example:
What would Jess rather be doing right now?
A. crawling in a hole and dying
B. getting drunk
C. sleeping
D. anything other than studying.
Answer: All are correct but answer D is more correct.
Then there is property:
This pretty much sums it up
So I have looked to my fellow roommates for inspiration:
Jeff:
Was doing homework quietly on the couch. I even hung upside down on the adjacent couch and went unnoticed. I was impressed until I heard him talking to his girlfriend on the phone ten minutes later.
Cynthia:
Turned down panera to read property. Impressive. But is she actually reading property? She may be watching netflix...we may never know.
Mike:
At the library...also impressive. If you subtract the time he is inevitably spending on pintrest, tumblr, facebook, and anything else ADD -enhancing. He will probably come home in time to eat dinner and announce it's time for his nightly shit in a few hours.
Amy:
At home doing work, also denied panera. Or is she just snuggling with her cat?
Amy and Echo
I am now going to spend the next hour and a half continuing to bleed my eyes out reading property and con law. Then I will continue to do the same during commercial breaks when I am not screaming at the Bruins on tv. Overall a productive night at the 420 House, we will keep you updated with advice, and other nonsense each day of the week and into finals.
Remember, grades aren't everything. They are just indicators of where/ if you will get an internship and therefore a job and where you will go in life (kidding). No need to stress. We promise not to judge if we see you crying into your civ pro outline, sleeping in the library, bug-eyed from excessive coffee consumption, swigging your second bottle of wine, or slumped over a bar stool at Worthy. Hell, you may even see us there.
Keep calm and carry on,
love, the 420 House

Hey lovers! Well it has been a while since our last blog and since Jess is slacking on the GYST front, Amy has volunteered to write this segment of the 420 House of Mouse. In true 420 fashion, we are consuming pizza, alcohol and playing Cards Against Humanity when we really should be outlining, reading, or, really, doing anything else.
Good news for the 420 House! Jess, Mike, and Amy were all accepted into the General Practice Program. Which means, in addition to living together, we will be taking quite a few classes together. There is also the prospect that Mike, Amy, and Cynthia will be working together in the legal clinics on campus this summer. So we are taking bets on how long it takes before we tear each other apart this fall.
Amy and Breanne are finalizing the details of Breanne's transition out, and Amy's transition in. Looks like, by July 1st, Amy and her cute kitten Echo will be living at the 420 House. Echo is 7 years old and loves snuggles. Despite Amy's love for her little rescue, she needs more love than that of 1 overworked law student. She needs the love of 5 overworked law students.
In other upcoming events: The Master's Tournament. Next weekend. 9 houses. 9 hours. Epic fun. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the VLS happenings, each house picks a speciality drink, and people go from house to house (spending an hour at each one) whilst dressed in golf clothes and enjoy the springtime weather and speciality drinks. 420 House has yet to choose a drink, so suggestions welcome.
Well the dough has risen, the drinks are cold, and people are ready to engage in the most blatantly inappropriate game known to man. So we're out. Later lovers.

Vote Christopher/ St.Patty's Review
Alright whiners, we are back.
This week is important for a couple reasons:
First, The Supreme Court is FINALLY reviewing marriage equality. Hope you're all wearing red today, as well as following SCOTUS.
Second, SBA Elections are this week. I'm sure all the candidates are worthy in their own right but we at the 420 House would like to take some time to advocate one candidate in particular: Christopher Smith.
You may know Christopher as the tall and charismatic host of the Vagina Monologues, or the singing sensation that gave light to some of the toughest issues we face in SoRo ( having to travel to shop or get laid) at Specific Performance, or you may know him as your knowledgeable, and not to mention incredibly handsome Con Law TA. I know Christopher as one of the closest friends I've made here in SoRo, one that has become a platform for advice on anything from classes to the significance of throwing away your scale. Christopher is not only a good friend but a true advocate of the student body. Others have been quoted saying Christopher would be "the best fit with the SBA" and "Christopher would continue to be a great representative of the students here at VLS." So yeah, Vote for Christopher.
On to less important matters: St.Amy's Day Review:
First, we want to thank all of you who came to our party this past Saturday and made it so awesome :) We had a great time and we hope you did too. While we appreciate all of you, here are some people particularly worthy of mention:
Amy Davis, BreAnne Van der Naald, and Emily Whalen- best outfits by far.
Lauren Migliaccio- we finally got to dance to call me maybe. Speaking of dancing- Colleen Carroll, wow! And of course Brian Durkin and John Hernandez who not only provided entertainment in the form of choreographed dance routines, but also were the last to leave. You guys rock hard, thanks for the good time.
Also special thanks to Jeff Fucci who I'm pretty sure represented the 2L class alone. Of course I understand the 2Ls are busy sleeping and attending other parties (Andrew McFarlin and Christopher Smith). In any event, the 1L's and the 3L's brought the house down just fine without you guys ;)
Of course the 2L's aren't the only ones with good excuses. Somehow not one of our so-close-we-share-an-address neighbors were able to make it. Margie Slowen, you are forgiven for being in Italy. As for Will Kirk, Andrew Fowler, and Kathleen, we are sure you have a good excuse. Long commute? Couldn't find parking? Got lost on the way? Or perhaps the crowds, the music, and the lights outside were too subtle a hint the party had started. Whatever it is, I'm sure if there was any way at all you guys could have made it you would have ;)
For those of you that came, we want to let you know how impressed we are that you not only emptied all 100+ jello/shamrock shots, four cases of beer, and all of the "lucky punch" as well as most of the food, not one of you puked or passed out. You guys are champs and are welcome to party here anytime.
Alright that guys, that about wraps up today's blog. Stay tuned for our upcoming blogs on the Master's party and sleep deprivation.
Love you all,
The 420 House

Adios Spring Break
Hello again bloggers!
Hope you didn't miss us too much over break. I hope you all had a productive break. I for one started all my outlines, did all my homework for the week, and sent out internship applications- minus every single one of those things. That was the original plan but if you're looking for advice on how to make the most of your break by way of productivity and efficiency, this is not the place. I can however tell you how not to be productive (all tested and proved by yours truly):
1. Bring ALL of your school books home. Don't open any of them- in fact keep them in a bag in your closet so the sight of them alone won't cause you pain.
2. Start off your break doing something unproductive- like going to Foxwoods and losing a bunch of money. You can always do your work later.
3. Make sure you have lots of free time during the day- then waste it shopping for clothes, party supplies, groceries, any kind of shopping, go to the movies a couple times, maybe some bowling, etc.
4. Make sure to stay in shape and keep to your diet over break- and by that i mean work out twice all week and skip the protein bars for trips to olive garden and papa ginos.
5. Your work will always be there, so make sure you take a night to go drinking with some of your friends from home- or two nights, or three, maybe four :/
6. Try getting your car stuck in the mud. Nothing takes your mind off work like waiting for triple A or having to rip off your heat shield.
7. If someone mentions law school, pretend you didn't hear them. If that doesn't work, explain that mentioning anything law school related triggers your PTSD.
8. Whenever you feel like you should really be doing some work....repeat after me: "I'll do it tomorrow." If you don't get to it the next day, repeat. Works like a charm.
So obviously my spring break wasn't very productive. It was a lot of fun though, I hope yours was too!
Keep an eye out for our St.Amy's Day invitations coming out tomorrow!!! I'm so excited to see ALL of you there :)

What the fudge is going on here?/Welcome Amy
Dear Bloggers,
First, I would like to say that I don't recommend or encourage blogging/ reading this blog during class. However, as all you law students know, there are exceptions to every rule. The exception here is Property.
No matter how many notes I take, or how well I understand the reading, I still have one question on my mind the entire class: What the fudge is she talking about?
For example:
Reading: Three Concurrent Interests: Joint Tenancy, Tenancy in Common, Tenancy by the Entirety.
Class: Fee simple subject to an executory interest, defeasible interests followed by an executory interest. And how do we find out what we don't know now class? What is the right of survivorship? And then, what do you need to sever an interest? (must be wearing blue and sign the document in the month of October and must have exactly three children and known grandchildren and two dogs. What?)
So to answer your question professor...I don't know how to find out what I don't know now, but I have a feeling I'm not going to find out in this class.
Now for those of you asking intelligent questions and adding to your already impressive outlines right now, don't judge me.
For those of you that are on gmail, ESPN, Facebook, email, TWEN for other classes, etc (yeah, i see you). I feel you. I understand. This blog is a no judgment zone. I mean obviously, look at me. I look like the walking dead. After the concert last night and the two hour drive here this morning, I am exhausted (I know poor me, going to a concert and drinking frozen margaritas). And Gia, don't sweat it; I always have to ask for the question to be repeated. Her voice is just so easy to tune out. And p.s.- you rocked it :)
The roomies are equally as disgruntled. And cold. Apparently our furnace broke this weekend and they were forced to huddle up around two space heaters in the living room yesterday as the temperature in the house reached near-glacial. I feel your pain roomies. Actually not really, I was at home with my family yesterday eating lasagna before going to see Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, and Lee Brice. But it sounds horrible, I'm glad I missed it.
As Cynthia pointed out in her request for me to kill her via gmail, she would still rather be cold than in property right now. I am inclined to agree, however I do have an impressive space heater in my room (nicknamed the "sauna"). But I'm sure the snow storm brewing outside will help the temp in the rest of the house drastically.
In other news...
This just in: Cynthia knows what is going on in class right now.
Stay Tuned for more information on St.Amy's Day Celebration as well as Amy's addition to the blog and more shenanigans from the 420 house :)

I'm actually understanding what is going on!! Hell has frozen over, as well as our living room.
And it looks like we're in a snowglobe.
(gmail - Cynthia)
Since that makes one of us, I will continue with other news. First and most importantly- we have a new roomie! We would like to welcome Amy Davis to our lovely 420 House of Mouse! While her living there won't actually take place until this summer, we count her frequent presence as well as receiving her mail as achieving roomie status! So welcome, we love you Amy!
On that note, the lovely Amy's birthday is on Saturday, March 23rd. Why should this matter to you? Because this is also the day of my belated St.Patrick's Day party. Therefore, we ask you to join our St.Amy's Day celebration. Facebook Invites to follow within the week. As some of you may have noticed, we have yet to throw a party at the legendary 420 party house. This is for several reasons. One, we want to do it justice. Two, I don't throw parties that are not epic. This is not a get together with some crackers and a thirty rack. This is a party of epic proportions. I've dug out my fog machine, and found some lights. I know how to make green beer and cocktails. Be ready, this party is for serious players only. And as this is my favorite holiday, you bitches better be wearing green :)
Love,
The 420 House

Con Law/ Oscars Review
Dear Bloggers,
Tonight's blog will be reviewing the con law brief from hell and of course, the Oscars.
Con Law
To those of you in my Con Law section: Congratulations! Most of us are done! For those of you still stressing, don't. From here on out it's a win-win situation. Either your brief wins and you get the opportunity to argue in front of some judges and practitioners, a grade bump, and of course food/drinks with Hanna. If you lose you get to sit back and relax while your classmates piss themselves in this video-recorded argument.
Now on to more important matters: The Oscars. In your celebrations of the brief being done, many of you may have missed the Oscars. Don't worry, I got your back.
Oscars Review
So for those of you who missed the Oscars, here are the high (and not so high) lights
Seth McFarlane
Ok,so I was pretty excited when I heard he was hosting. I've always been of the opinion that the Oscars substantially lack humor (see what I did there). Seth MacFarlane, I thought might be the answer. Not so much.
Overall rating: mehh
Highs:
We saw your Boobs
J-Law is the best part.
Recognizing Ben Affleck's Oscar Snub for Best Director:
"..so secret the academy doesn't even know the director's name" ( something like that)
Boy Wizard and Girl Vampire Intro- Daniel Radcliffe and Kristen Stewart
Introducing the Von Trapp family from Sound of Music only to have Nazi soldier appear and announce the family has left (just like in the movie)
Referring to Best Actress nominee, 9 year-old Quvenzhané Wallis, told the other nominees that getting nominated for an Oscar is something "a 9 year-old can do"
Lows:
When discussing the extreme violence and womanizing in Django "or for Chris Brown and Rihanna, date night"- this earned him quite a gasp from the crowd but not as bad as the next;
"the only actor to really get into Lincoln's head was John Wilkes Booth" - the crowd was mostly silent, littered with a few gasps.
" 150 years and still too soon" McFarlane quipped.
McFarlane then took a stab at George Clooney- announcing nine year old Quvenzhané Wallis had "sixteen years until she's too old for George Clooney." Clooney didn't look amused but McFarlane threw him some whiskey which he appeared to be opening as the camera left him.
Fashion
Normally I don't care much about fashion but there were some noticeable ensembles.
Highs:
Jennifer Lawrence- JLaw dazzled in a stunning white Dior dress. She looked flawless. The dress proved challenging to walk in when JLaw tripped and fell on the stairs leading up to the stage, but let's be honest: it just made us love her more.
Halle Berry- So Halle doesn't really count. Of course she looked amazing but let's be real: Halle Berry is not actually a human being. At least that's my theory. I mean the woman has not aged at all in 20+ years. Sure she may have a good surgeon, but there's only so much a surgeon can do (look at Joan Rivers or Heidi Montag). Halle not only looks natural, but like she's 25. It's not normal. I don't know what species she belongs to but I need to find it and pray they adopt me.
Jennifer Garner- beautiful dress, beautiful hair. Simply glowing as her husband's Argo won a bunch of awards.
Ben Affleck- I know Seth told you that he thought your beard was a Kardashian finally making it to the movie industry (miss), but I think you looked Sexy, rock that beard Ben! (cause he totally reads my blog).
Channing Tatum- duh.
Amy Adams- gorgeous
Kerry Washington- her dress was flawless. Seriously, google it.
Corrine Foxx- Jamie's daughter is grown up and totally stunning.
Jessica Chastain- really pretty.
Lows:
The woman who won best makeup or costume (we don't remember) who was wearing PINK LEGGINGS. To. the. Oscars. Really? pink leggings are almost never acceptable. Very few people in
very few situations can pull off pink leggings and she was not one of them, and the Oscars will never be the place. Ever.
Anne Hathaway- the "darts" on her dress. I legitimately thought they were her nipples but was corrected by my mother who insists it was an unfortunate dress placement. Still think she went braless but either way...not pleasant.
All the Directors/Writers with really long gray hair- is this a new trend?
K-Stew- but we'll get to her.
Performances
Highs:
Barbara Streisand- decent
Seth McFarlane- voices
a little slanted- sorry
Here's to the Losers
Self Explanatory
Lows:
I know I'll get shit for this one. Adele- of course her singing was amazing but when is it not? I know her voice is incredible but her music is all starting to sound the same. Her performances are boring and Skyfall really isn't great. It's no Set Fire to the Rain.
Awards
Highs:
Best Supporting Actor- Christoph Waltz for Django Unchained
He really was awesome.
Argo- Best Film
Not only was it presented (via tv) by Michelle Obama, but Ben's speech was truly touching. "You gotta get up" he says of his past failures (through tears).
Best Actress- JLaw
I haven't seen Silver Linings Playbook (yet!) but I love love love Jennifer Lawrence. Her reaction to "We saw your boobs" was priceless and her speech thanking the crowd for her standing ovation ("I know it was just because I fell which is so embarrassing") Something like that...
Anyway she is amazing. And fat actress? Really? JLaw is flawless and if she's fat, then just call me Moosica from now on.
Lows:
Ben Affleck not getting Best Director- or even nominated. Snubbb
Kristen Stewart
My hatred for her has earned KStew her own category. Tonight I direct this review to her staff:
Stylist:
Show that girl a hairbrush! We all have bad hair days but come on, it's the Oscars! Get it together.
The dress- not as bas as usual but again, not fitted in the chest area. she always does this- wear a dress that your boobs fit into! they aren't big enough for the one's you're wearing! (sorry, rant)
Publicist:
Since none of her performances were nominated for an Oscar (though she swept the Razzies), presenting was a good opportunity to try and rebuild her rep. Instead, KStew stuck to her awkward in-pain looking mode of speech coupled with her usual vacantly irritated expression. Why is her publicist not telling her to f**king smile?!?! Be friendly?! Look human for once! It's bad enough she ruined the heroin of what was actually an incredible book series. God, she sucks (end rant, almost)
And really Rob- You can do better. You proved your talent as Edward, Cedric, and Tyler (Remember Me). Not that looks matter but you're winning there too. Why do you need her cheating-talentless ass?
Officially ending my KStew Rant.
Lastly I want to recommend some Oscar movies you may have missed cause you're a law student:
-Silver linings playbook (haven't seen it yet but it looks so good)
-Life of Pi (looks good, but i think the Tiger dies so I won't watch it)
-Lincoln (Cynthia says it's amazing)
-Django Unchained (if you can handle the brutality- so epic)
-Brave (Cynthia said it was really good)
-Wreck it Ralph (really good)
-Argo (how have I not seen it yet?)

You may be insane if...
Dear Bloggers,
It has come to our attention that we have all gone insane. For those of you who may still be in denial or are unsure of your mental state, we have compiled a list of signs that may indicate you have officially gone insane in law school:
1. you see your pharmacist almost as much as your roommates
2. you dream yourself into cases
3. you write the library as your return address on envelopes
4. you buy not one, but five boxes of girl scout cookies
5. the best part of your week is trivia
6. you are the drunkest person at trivia
7. in fact, the bartenders know you by name
8. worse, there is a drink named after you
9. you ignore people saying "hi" to you because you are on a "mission" aka on the way to the vending machine.
10. you have been at the library for so long that people around you start to resemble food and you consider eating them
11. you are jealous of people with a 60 hour work week
12. you genuinely get mad at non-law school friends for complaining...about anything
13. you struggle to remember what your family members look like
14. you lose ability to do things you were previously able to do- such as; spell, write, tie your shoes, etc
15. you try to make a snow angel..in the ice
