Overcommitted Law/PPE student signs up for unpaid paralegal opportunity one minute before deadline

A second-year law student, who wishes to remain anonymous, has today brought themself closer to inevitable breakdown by signing up for another extra-curricular activity they does not have time for. “I really enjoy getting involved, I find I function better the more involved I am,” the nameless student told the Daley Mail while purchasing their daily double shot latte at Coffee Lab.

Despite already being an ANUSA Gen Rep, LLS Social Director, regular Woroni contributor and a Pollen employee, the student made the last-minute choice to sacrifice their already minimal self-care time for another resume building opportunity.

“I know I have two group presentations next week, plus I had to miss thirteen lectures last term when I was working which I have to catch up on, but honestly I think it will be fine. I worked all through high-school and rowed on weekends, while also taking an extra subject for my HSC, and was SRC Captain so it’s basically the same thing, right?”

When asked what they got out of their excessive involvement, the student was forced to terminate the interview as they realised they had a meeting which started five minutes ago. “It’s so strange,” our interviewee said as they left, “I never used to forget things and now I’m late to everything! Week 7, am I right?” Whether their laughter at this comment was genuine cannot be confirmed by our Daley Mail reporters.
