This is a bold faced lie. There are certainly differences, but I wouldn't call second year EASIER. Between law review, mentoring, classes, and trying to find a freaking job-second year is flat out busy! I haven't had a lot of time to myself. Well, I finished my cite checking (early, yay!) and decided to give myself the night off last night. That's right, I blew off my homework and had a date night with my husband. It was so nice! We ate good food, had a few drinks, met up with friends, and just relaxed.
As busy as school is, it's important to keep some time open for your spouse. It is hard at times, but not only is it good for my marriage, it is good for ME! Mentoring the 1Ls, this is something I hope to instill in them. Yes, you need to work hard and spend a LOT of time on school, but if you don't take care of yourself (and your relationships) as well, you will be useless.
