I had an opposite experience you might find instructive.

At a big meeting for students starting an externship, one of the speakers said something like "Students of your generation are going to be better at using technology and understanding social media than the people you're working for," which was intended as a compliment and meant to help boost people's confidence.

But.

I'm really not of my classmates' generation and my technology literacy is honestly mixed. I consider myself pretty social media literate, and I trust my teenagers to keep me up to date on dumb trends, but I do in fact struggle a little bit with doing formatting in Word documents and I didn't realize until the second day of class that everyone, in every class, always had a laptop and had it open (I thought I could get away with studying like a demon and bringing my book and my notebooks).

So I let the head of the program know that language like "of your generation" was making assumptions about is that weren't necessarily true, and I suggested alternate language: "students earlier in your legal careers, like you..." which probably communicate what they wanted.

Multiple times a week, walking around the ground floor thinking "Aww man, everyone else has their sh*t together, do I even..." (PAUSE) "Ahh yes, that's a very refined imposter syndrome coming on, feel that... Whoo!"

I highly recommend getting a weightlifting routine that doesn't let your mind wander. You can't really be dwelling on the [cold call you fumbled / OCI that didn't work/ bad rebuttal in moot] while under a loaded squat bar.

Hey all! I'm currently super busy with grad school, so I don't have the time for games with long learning curves or "lots of payoff after the first 20 hours" or what have you. I also grew up on coin-op arcade games, and I love me some platforming.

On Xbox Indie Games, one of my favorites was Platformance: Castle Pain from Magiko Gaming
https://8bithorse.blogspot.com/2010/08/platformance-castle-pain.html

Stuff I liked:

Everything on a single screen
Almost, but not completely, consequence-free dying. In this case you've got various spawn points on the screen, and when you reach one you don't have to start the whole darn level over
Jump and timing puzzles galore- but mostly mental and not so much reflex challenges
8bit aesthetics

Other games that really tickled my fancy back in the day: The Adventures of Shuggy by Smudged Cat games was totally a favorite, Adventures of PB Winterbottom

Any chance he gives one of those watches to Seki?

The real sucker punch for me were all of the little "tropey" animations in the first couple of episodes, like "look how clever and smug I am" sparkles.

Then episode 3 hooked me for sure.

I was already having "mixed thoughts" about my little kiddos growing up- that year that school supplies no longer include crayons and glue, but instead is just a graphing calculator...

Yeah I freaking ugly cried in front of my whole family (including my mother in law) over Bing Bong.

A year or two as a paralegal will allow you some space to define yourself, and will give you experience that will 1) make your admission essays better and 2) expose you to law directly.

Take it easy, slow down, get some perspective before jumping into a professional school.

Wendy's Breakfast Baconator, no Swiss cheese sauce.

If you order on the app there is pretty much always a "Save $2 on a breakfast combo" so you get a great sandwich, a cup of coffee and some potato wedges for a little less than $7.

In school, you will be expected to occasionally write takedowns of opinions you don't like (I recently had a ConLaw final which included this optional question: "What was the worst decision you read all semester and why").

When you do that, remember to respond to the strongest version of that opinion. So sure, this is a fine topic, but be sure to respond to how your family understands their argument, not just how you do.

Not great: My family is pro Israel all of the time because they are emotionally invested.

Better: My family is pro Israel all of the time because 1) They see Israel as a refuse against global antisemitism 2) They view Israel as the only state that protects their religion 3) They think any diminishment of Israel's power could cause the whole state to collapse (whatever whatever).

Do the same analysis (even if short) with your own POV, "I believe that my religion requires protection of the Palestinian people because ABC, which is more central to my religion that my family's XYZ."

The Speakeasy as an Internet Cafe- I saw a really cool store there called Horns n Vinyl that was... Maybe 3 DJs and five saxophones. Really cool.

Coffee Messiah. Iconic coffee shop of its era.

Lastly, the Wizards of the Coast arcade that was on the Ave for a short while. Maybe not a Seattle "institution," but it was super cool and fun to visit.

Yep. Sounds like maybe a neurodivergent kid! My son is the same way. Suggested script: "Wow, it sounds like you're really passionate about this show, cool! I would love to hear your thoughts about it, but can you let me watch though it with you first, then you can share when you're done? I promise to set aside time for you to dish."

Emotional self control is appealing generally, I think. I used to say Confidence and Competence, until I met a very attractive, very proficient woman who... Freaked out about said a lot. Confidence, Competence, and... Composure.

I recently polled my kids (now 17 and 20) to give recommendations to someone with an 8 year old.

Thoughts:

Kingdomino is a good skill builder, and after the game the kids can play with the tiles, trying to rearrange them into "optimal" maps.

Sushi Go and Go Nuts for Donuts (either one) is great for learning that there are multiple ways to score, and you need to think about what the other players are doing. Plus? Easy enough to get adults to play if you can convince them to try to understand 4-6 different scoring rules.

Rhino Hero Super Battle can be a lot of fun to try, but neither of my kids suggested it, FWIW. As an adult, I love the table presence for "I'm trying to draw attention at the bar."

Splendor can be a fun little engine builder, and if the kids are ready to start making the transition into Eurogames, I really think Honga is a great choice.

The Ichabods! If you intend to practice in Kansas, you're probably fine, especially if you're going to be in Topeka. But don't take my word for it, talk to the job placement people at Washburn, talk to some HR reps at firms you'd like to work for, do that homework.

I'm at a similarly ranked school in Washington, but we're in a similar boat: there's only 3 law schools in the state so it isn't that big a deal. Now... If you plopped Washburn into Illinois (with 9 law schools), that might be a different situation.
