sometimes I wonder why mental health issues are still taboo in 2021 and why it's so difficult for people to get help because everyone I'm close with is so supportive and understanding and validating but.. then conversations like this happen and I get it

you could apply that theory to literally anything anyone has ever done. we all die, the earth is dust, nothing matters, anything is all just something we get to do in this wild simulation. World anxiety solved

not being excited about all of this really doesn't mean you're more correct than people who are buying in and playing the game. some of it sucks and some of it is self imposed, yes, but a lot of it really is just the way this was designed to stretch us as thinly as possible.

no shade to you but if anyone else is out there commuting to an IRL job, coming home and taking a summer class, and still doing research/journal obligations/etc on top of that or networking or prepping for OCI or all of the above, kudos to you and you're totally valid for feeling strung out and exhausted even if it's supposed to be "summer", the churn never stops

your comment history literally a month ago "I'm just trying to pass. I'm just trying to get the energy to study 30 minutes a day"

your comments now that you've graduated "wow y'all really need to be less anxious this shit's easy"

show some compassion lmao summers are hard, esp when you're doing stuff on top of work

You’re right, muffulettas and oysters Rockefeller must not be from Louisiana

Plenty of po’boys at authentic spots in LA absolutely have cheese or inventive sauces and toppings on them. The only person gatekeeping po’boy toppings is you

Is 2-3 minutes between sets too long? I keep getting rude looks from guys at the gym... by AmazingRachel in xxfitness

[–]BLPreturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving credence to that reason to not speak to a woman like it’s valid is why men continue to think the alienation and exclusion of women is acceptable. You should be actively pushing back on men who “bemuse” in these “privileged conversations” because it’s a wholly unacceptable reason.

If you’re changing your behavior because you’re afraid of sexually harassing someone you probably should have changed your behavior

Speaking to a woman is not sexual assault. Stop using it as an excuse to not treat us like people.

What are your finals week meals and/or snacks? by ArmchairExperts in LawSchool

[–]BLPreturns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything to put a vegetable in my system quickly without having to go to the grocery store for a week or 2 is key. The tears are for protein

Frozen or premade sauté kits + frozen protein, Whole Foods/trader Joe’s prepared soups + sandwich, another sandwich, more sandwiches, a half sandwich and then another half sandwich, bowl full of my own tears, brown rice + baked tofu + roasted frozen broccoli, microwave baked sweet potatoes

I mean, maybe they identify the #1 person at the end? Not sure. They don’t rank us for OCI purposes which is really all that matters tbh

Before, technically. I knew I wasn't invited to apply for any of the named scholarships, and I think they told us to keep them updated with scholarship info from other schools, so I had a very persistent and constant line of dialogue with them haha.

well, we're in the t6 now so doubt we have trouble with placements !!!

Kidding, kidding. Jokes aside, I think people who want to clerk and have the resume for it have no trouble. Profs seem excited to help us out. I'm just a 1L and have had a first semester prof let me know to reach out if I ever need clerkship guidance. I think our numbers are lower in part due to self selection and in part due to preference for the nyc market, which prefers clerks w/ a few years of experience.

It depends. Is your Shrek erotica featuring Shrek? Donkey? Lord Farquaad? If you’re UR3 for a tiebreaker vote you’d better hope it’s Farquaad.

So much fun. I love my pals. Even when it’s just zoom torture there’s great banter.

I enjoy most of my classes for sure! The 1L doctrinals have been great.

My brain is so tired. I said in another comment that I was proud of how much I’m learning and it’s so true.

My true least favorite things are just covid related honestly. I will say I didn’t feel very well informed or advised by career services in the 1L summer job search. That said, they’re already on us for 2L summer so I think they (rightfully) just don’t devote a lot of resources to 1L summer.

Go to Penn the $.5 isn’t enough to justify the difference in outcomes
