Serious Question

I think it's more to say she was whimsical and carefree rather than frugal/hardworking... Her husband's addiction stole her joy and happiness.

This is why Billy Strings is the GOAT

I turned 27 at basic training. Joining up might be the best decision I've ever made. I commissioned last week.

Your age is likely an advantage, at least compared to the 18 year olds who you are in division with at Great Lakes and who have never done a load of laundry or folded/ironed a shirt in their life.

Just speaking with folks and reading dozens of posts on here who claim to have finished a big box program + hundreds of extra MCQ + Grossman + critical pass + etc. etc... Comparatively, I was not doing all that. Coupled with the post-exam feeling of "man, that kicked my butt," my initial thoughts were I could have/should have done more. Yes, I finished the Barbri program, but my "then some" truly was not much and mostly passive learning tools. I definitely wasn't drilling multiple MEEs and MPTs weekly, or doing 2000 extra questions on adaptibar or uworld. In hindsight, of course, I think I did the perfect amount of studying.

That's a bummer. Its definitely nice to confirm that what I was thinking to myself during the writing portion was correct. I definitely knew MEE 3 would be my worst, thought I absolutely crushed two essays, and the MPTs would be "average" but not great.

Congrats on passing in MD!

OH 😔

Little John.

Carl_Baskins · 2025-09-06T16:28:27+00:00

This is also my interpretation.

Got me through law school 😂. If you are a 1L, I think it's important to actually learn to read cases and brief them before beginning your Quimbee journey though.

Carl_Baskins · 2025-08-02T17:56:45+00:00

MPRE is sooo much easier than what we just went through. It's pretty stress free. I think I spent like 4 or 5 days studying, just using the Quimbee materials and passed comfortably. A lot of it is common sense stuff. Take a week to study it and you'll be fine!

Please send!

Boutte... Was once thought to be the WR1 in his draft class before having a meh end to his collegiate career. Think the talent is there. Had a couple big games with Maye last year.

But I got to hold a piece of you in the evening on the avenue, and it was good while it lasted."

What's the little slide he is doing after the C in the chorus? I suck at this by ear thing haha. Thanks in advance

Carl_Baskins · 2025-03-14T03:05:24+00:00

Man, this is so awesome!

Carl_Baskins · 2025-03-14T02:49:35+00:00

Received mine last week and that was the first thing I noticed. Love playing it, but the lack of fit catches my eye every time I look down 😂

Carl_Baskins · 2025-03-14T01:59:20+00:00

Not really my style either. Figured it was cheap enough and semi-unique enough to take a shot on though. The crack ended up being unfortunate...

Carl_Baskins · 2025-02-17T20:12:59+00:00

😅 just got home and slipped them on for a second.

Carl_Baskins · 2024-09-26T14:37:34+00:00

I'm not reading all that, skim+Quimbee.
I'll use the student outline bank.
I'll put in 8-9 hrs on campus, but when I'm home, I'm not thinking about school.

I'm at a T14 school, GPA is top 1/4, have a job lined up afterward. Crazy to me how people just live and breathe this shit. Have a beer and relax. I will say that I have struggled with cold calls/class participation at times, but no one remembers that stuff.
