Tips from a 3L

When wanting to boost your page count (i.e., when you have to write a really long paper), opt for longer words instead of shorter words because the longer words take up more space on the page.

For example, write "undocumented immigrants" instead of "illegal aliens." Your fingers might get tired from the extra keystrokes, but that's nothing compared to the brain power you've saved by not having to think new thoughts.

Edited to add: And, if given the option, always always use hyphens. "Guest-workers", not "guestworkers."
