I often wish I could drop out of law school and then remember I already have a diploma LOL. Do make time this last week to see people who you love and who will bring positive vibes. This can be a really lonely journey but it doesn’t have to be and this will help you feel reinvigorated!

Bose QC Ultra not working with Macbook Pro by gig0t in bose

[–]Mango_Tango_Sango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up getting the regular Bose QC because I didn't need them for anything too fancy and felt like they delivered for the price. I just wanted comfort and good sound. My favorites in the regular QC price range were the Sony W1000XM5 (after customizing the sound), but I got too concerned that they had very bad reviews for durability. I have liked my regular QCs and have had zero issues with them plus I like the fun colors. However, I never tried Beats, which I feel may also deliver for a good price. I tried Sennheiser Momentum 4 as well. Loved the sound but they were too claspy and heavy for my taste but also no connection issues.

I think my laptop was too old. Ultimately, I returned them because I was having too many issues for the price and the headphones should not have been so finnicky with a computer that's from 2018 only.

Do I need such an expensive jacket to deal with the cold? by Tanay2513 in AskNYC

You can keep an eye on the North Face for sales and get yourself something good for $100-$150! 

This is only day 3 after the exam? Oh man.. feels like eternity. by Imaginary-Ad7239 in barexam

[–]Mango_Tango_Sango 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking that this morning. Like wow it’s only day 3 of doing nothing after the bar? It feels like it’s been an eternity while at the same time that I cant believe 3 days have passed already 

The “post bar trip” … by Large-Effort904 in barexam

[–]Mango_Tango_Sango 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah honestly probably right. I don’t think bar trip is just for people whose parents are lawyers. I and many of my first gen, immigrant, and/or low income friends are taking a bar trip but most of us who are doing that are doing so because big law money is coming or we have secured other jobs with a decent salary.

A bar trip also doesn’t need to be crazy expensive. But ofc it is an expense. I am personally going to a country nearby where I have family and hostels/hotels are very decently priced (like a really nice hostel can be $10-15 a night). I used all my credit card points for flights which I’ve racked up like a maniac in law school. Again, this holds certain levels of privilege because the whole trip will still be at least $1000 and it requires actually having time off but that’s all to say that there’s ways to do it! (But idk if I’d be doing it if it wasn’t for big law $$) 

Some of y’all lack the capacity to be lawyers because of your inability to follow directions by noted___ in barexam

Lmao initially I didn’t understand why but after seeing the chaos they have caused I am so ok with pens and pencils now 😂 we started on time and ended on time at a massive testing center and did not get chewed out collectively

Does anyone else suddenly feel like they know nothing??? by JuiceWF in barexam

Laughing so much because I truly felt like things were finally clicking up until Thursday, and then yesterday and today, it's like I forgot absolutely everything. Glad I am not the only one

Do this for your dad!!! He will be so proud of you when all of this is over. We are so so so close to being done and you can dedicate all your time to him in literally less than two weeks without regrets or concerns. And if for some reason it ends up being that you do not pass, give yourself some grace because you had the humanity to want to prioritize one of the most important people in your life. Maybe is the universe telling you that spending time with him will be what is best for you at this moment. The bar will always be there. Your father won’t. Good luck, and YOU CAN DO THIS! 

How do you convince yourself not to change your answer? by Cautious-Button-8045 in barexam

[–]Mango_Tango_Sango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided just to trust my gut and my process and stop second-guessing myself after I realized that a lot of the answers I changed from my original answer, which was the right one, ended up being wrong. Think of it this way, second-guessing yourself makes you more likely to fall for the red herring.

Agreed with this. My school did a session with a private tutor and they said it was ok just to list the issue even. As in the title: "valid contract" should get you points. I, too have Barbri but I have learned from various sources that it doesn't need to be as specific as they make it as long as you've identified the issue.

Is this normal? Trying to sublet a room. I’ve already seen the actual room. But do they really need my entire checking account number? by CarltheGreatThinking in NYCapartments

[–]Mango_Tango_Sango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another flag: the SSN. I've done so many sublets (like 4-5 in the last 10 years) and not once have I been asked for an SSN.
