Reality show contestants and wannabe lawyers — they have more in common than you might think
The life of a Love Island star is one most stressed-out law students would dream of.
Being wined and dined by the fellow islanders, lazing around the villa pool, topping up your tan — it’s a far cry from contract law-induced sobs and eight-hour library sessions.
Even so, we can’t help but see a little bit of law student in this year’s reality show contestants. See it for yourself below.
