Kim Kardashian is again on her “I’m-going-to-be-a-lawyer-dammit” grind, and this time she’s giving the world precisely what the California Bar by no means will: transparency. Earlier this month, Kim failed the bar examination, however as a substitute of slinking away, she posted a full emotional montage of her research saga: handwritten notes, panic spirals, and the ugly crying she’s well-known for included.
Kim’s video proudly options pages of handwritten notes, as if she simply found the pedagogical magic of “writing issues down.” It’s very earnest. Very “I purchased the pastel highlighters so now I’m mainly Elle Woods.” Actually, it’s nearly healthful watching the billionaire who constructed an empire on overpriced loungewear embrace the unconventional act of… making flashcards.
Then we get the waterworks. Like, full meltdown. She’s exhausted, terrified, and mumbling about her mind dissolving… which, to be honest, is a common bar examination expertise. She even exhibits off a again brace, as a result of apparently torts aren’t the one factor inflicting ache right here.
In case you’ve ever stared at a bar prep essay query and puzzled why your life decisions introduced you to this second, congratulations: you and Kim Kardashian now have one thing in frequent.
As at all times, the wild a part of the Kardashian bar journey is that she’s not doing this the conventional method. No regulation faculty. No chilly calls. No gunners. She’s apprenticing her method into the authorized occupation prefer it’s nonetheless 1827. It’s admirable! It’s unconventional! It’s… maybe not the optimum method for the nation’s most notoriously sadistic bar examination, however hey, factors for dedication.
And Kardashian has documented a lot of the method on social media. She shared her hatred of con regulation, struggles with proof, and a legal regulation difficulty spotter that solid Justin Bieber as a legal mastermind. She’s complained about the truth that regulation scholar life sucks, defined that she uncared for her Holding Up With the Kardashians livetweeting duties to sustain with torts homework, bailed on summer time vacation festivities as she continued together with her contracts homework, and handled customized questions all about her. She even has a favourite regulation professor — College of Washington contracts professor Steve Calandrillo — who she’s shouted out on Insta. Kardashian even has her “identical to us” second, like when she posted about taking pictures tequila whereas finding out torts.
However actually that is probably the most relatable second in her quest to be a lawyer. Her wrestle appears loads like everybody else’s wrestle, minus the tens of millions following her journey, and able to bask in schadenfreude when issues go pear-shaped.
She’s drained. She’s defeated. She’s nonetheless going; Kardashian confirmed she is going to deal with the infamous examination once more. And if Kim Kardashian — a girl who runs 5 firms, movies two exhibits, and by no means appears to sleep — can discover time to grind out IRACs and memorize rumour exceptions, then perhaps there’s hope for the remainder of us.
