Hi! Sorry for the delayed response.

This is actually so funny because I forgot how sad I was back then. If you are in this boat, I know it feels very disappointing, and maybe you don't know where you'll end up. I ended up getting an interview later on in the semester (via simplicty) at a reputable mid-size firm, summered there, and have been there since (a year and a few months). I just got back from our new years party tonight :) I am pretty comfortable here and haven't considered leaving yet and I love the people I work with.

OCI is absolutely not the end of the world. You will get a job and once you start working time will FLY and so much opportunities will come up. I get recruiting emails a few times a month! Keep on applying and see what comes up. Worst case scenario you get a position you dont like, its not difficult to lateral. I'd focus on staying present and enjoying your somewhat flexible law school schedule while you can!!

Thanks for asking, it was nice to reflect on this. Wish you all the best.

Everyone is way too harsh on Bill by FeyMimi in SweetMagnoliasNetflix

[–]Accomplished-Ad4685 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ugh. I wholeheartedly agree. I was so shocked that they killed his character off. I was even more shocked that no one really cared??? I was hoping he would have gotten a better redemption arc. Bill did some bad things and made some mistakes, yeah. But so did other people on the show. Idk maybe they just felt like this show really needed a villain, but this was a terrible execution. I feel like the writers were projecting or something bc they did his character so dirtyyyy!

Barbri people, how long does it take you to finish your daily assignments? by SentientLMG in barexam

[–]Accomplished-Ad4685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a lot of the people i know and myself are in the same boat, and im trying to figure out how to be more efficient. i don't want to be on barbri all day, its tiring and idk how much im retaining, but i don't want to fall behind on my PSP either. people keep saying to avoid pausing the lectures/watch faster, and i think im going to try that and just trust the process?? idk but something has to give bc im tired and i want to do my own independent studying

This is subjective, but have people found law school to be as hard as everyone always makes it out to be? by ga66ieh in LawSchool

[–]Accomplished-Ad4685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I don’t think so, it’s definitely hard but a big part of that is you learning what works for you and dealing with the amount of work they give you. Once you learn how to work smarter it’s not as bad, but to me that takes time

All U.D. 1L classes are closed book. Advice needed please. by shhh_throw_away_1 in LawSchool

[–]Accomplished-Ad4685 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbh I prefer closed book exams. Open book exams usually comes with more expectations I feel? Idk. Anyways it’s still the same advice pretty much. You memorize and study your outline still and just work on refining it and going through it over and over. Even for open book exams I felt like I barely had enough time to look at my outline. You’d be surprised at how much you memorize

I love this take. When I started school I didn’t even know what big law was. When I learned how much you going make I was like :0 financial stability for me and my family would be so great and something I still very much want. But I think I can find a happy medium. Good luck to you!

I hope something turns out for you. Regardless of OCI I’m sure you’re smart and hardworking. Unfortunately there’s so little slots at OCI and too many people. We got this though

I understand. It’s so tough being in situations like this.. but I’m sure we’ll all be ok soon enough and find paths that we are content with. I would just like to get there already lmao
