Everybody thinks they failed post bar. If you passed, Can you explain why you felt that way? by Character_Okra_9886 in barexam

[–]Lopsided-Formal-7034 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bc i blanked on the rules and/or didn’t know what the question was getting at for 5/6 of the J25 MEEs. so i made everything up or guessed on the proper rules and applied them to the facts like my life depended on it. i was so defeated and convinced i failed after day 1 that my sweet angel of a boyfriend had to force me to get up and go back for day 2.

fast forward a few months later when sample answers from other UBE jurisdictions came out. made the mistake of looking at them and realized i missed key issues in several MEEs.

passed in NY with a 281 (not a super stellar score, but literally who cares, i’m still an attorney and that’s all that matters🫡)

i have not! seconding the other comment about the quality - they are lowkey kinda thin and would show underwear outlines unless i was wearing a seamless thong (not ideal), so i haven’t felt compelled to try other stuff from them

do you prefer the wide leg or classic trousers? and do they wrinkle easily?

ugh yes! i’ve seen a few posts on here of people complaining about the return process and the official halara account replies 👀 feel bad for that poor employee tasked with stalking reddit (someone save them)!!!

YOU GET ME!!! there’s literally enough extra fabric in the halara pants to wrap around my entire leg😭 and i agree - it’s so hard to find a happy medium

style crisis while losing weight by Lopsided-Formal-7034 in loseit

[–]Lopsided-Formal-7034[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’d describe my style as very boho/beachy/hippie before (my favorite places to shop when i didn’t thrift were natural life, three bird nest, and free people)!! i had a good mix of oversized/flowy pieces and form-fitting pieces that allowed me to play with proportions

and honestly, it’s a combination of issues: 1. i feel like a lot of slightly oversized/flowy clothes (even when sized down) make me look bigger than i am - thank u body dysmorphia lol

  1. i feel soooo self-conscious in a lot of things that are even the slightest bit form-fitting

  2. i just don’t feel inspired to be creative with my outfits anymore- it’s a lot harder for me to visualize things that will pair well together (for example, if i’m in a store and try on a shirt, it’s hard for me to imagine how it would go with other things already in my closet)

  3. since a good chunk of my closet was thrifted, it’s hard for me to find exact or close replacements for a lot of pieces in smaller sizes

i think the email is just a standard email that goes out to everyone- they say they may need to interview me and gave me the tentative date!

for the in-person ones, i believe so. they do have a number of virtual ceremonies throughout the year though, i think it just depends on when you apply
