1. When you get through all of your midterms without dying.

Exams Monday, Wednesday, Thursday. Papers due Tuesday and Friday. Stress every day, am I right?

2. Knowing you get to go home and see your dog.

Because we all know they're the ones we miss the most.

3. Realizing you’re going to have to see all your friends' pictures as they travel to exotic locations while you’re at home.

Don't get me wrong, being home is great! But something about knowing your friends are looking out at a blue ocean and you're looking at dead grass is a bummer.

4. When you’re relaxing after just getting home and your mom starts asking you to empty the dishwasher and vacuum the basement.

OK, technically those aren't my dishes, lady.

5. When your professor says that you can’t wait until the last night of break to start your five page paper due when you get back.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F03%2F20%2F635941019524385094-1697000800_200-8.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=414&h=1d0346ca47cd8e1b77269ca0fbfe84c6b2b6b55adefb61377189cb369da40722&size=980x&c=2371763244 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F03%252F20%252F635941019524385094-1697000800_200-8.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D414%26h%3D1d0346ca47cd8e1b77269ca0fbfe84c6b2b6b55adefb61377189cb369da40722%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2371763244%22%7D" expand=1]

6. Looking at your syllabuses to see what you have due after break.

It should really be called spring (not so) break.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F03%2F20%2F63594102192727330530170734_200-12.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=652&h=fd0618cde2e56515863fd761e4cd909bff946f21cb7ac3dd72b2246ae047f2b2&size=980x&c=2906723606 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F03%252F20%252F63594102192727330530170734_200-12.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D652%26h%3Dfd0618cde2e56515863fd761e4cd909bff946f21cb7ac3dd72b2246ae047f2b2%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2906723606%22%7D" expand=1]

7. Getting to drive your car again.

Nothing like the freedom of having a car again. Target, here I come.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F03%2F20%2F635941022692691986-1517281358_200-1.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=837&h=92b4ed98aa14fd817c830a72b1c919755b13732113511e40026bba2231ae8af8&size=980x&c=1912722322 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F03%252F20%252F635941022692691986-1517281358_200-1.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D837%26h%3D92b4ed98aa14fd817c830a72b1c919755b13732113511e40026bba2231ae8af8%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1912722322%22%7D" expand=1]

8. When your mom asks you to empty the dishwasher for the 45th time after you failed to get to it the last 44 times.

Sorry mom, I'm really in the middle of something important. I've committed myself to Netflix today, and I don't break promises.

9. When one by one, all your friends at home with you go back to school.

Now who am I supposed to watch hours of TV with?

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F03%2F20%2F635941025353373906497317099_200-11.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=303&h=b18fef9820b4515a2d18e09c9ce138ee3a52909fe4cce106e687ad04f08ec05b&size=980x&c=1205539063 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F03%252F20%252F635941025353373906497317099_200-11.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D303%26h%3Db18fef9820b4515a2d18e09c9ce138ee3a52909fe4cce106e687ad04f08ec05b%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1205539063%22%7D" expand=1]

10. When you start to think about how soon you’ll be back on your cool college campus with your cool college friends, being awesome.

It's going to be LEGEN...wait for it...DARY! Sorry, had to put that in there.

Lawyers are supposed to be unbiased. Lawyers are trained to look at both sides of an issue and give equal weight to each side. It is meant to be their mantra, "My client is innocent until proven guilty." But if you're thinking about becoming a defense attorney, it's not this pretty simple. Defense lawyers argue that their clients are innocent because they don't want their actions to seem suspect in any way. They essentially say for the sake of the argument itself. If you're trying to decide whether or not becoming a defense attorney is something you would like to do, here are five reasons why it's worth considering:
