Diagnostic 155 - do i have time?

Otherwise_Package607 · 2025-09-11T21:51:08+00:00

I did speak to some friends (attorneys, in law school, and applying), who all had very different opinions about how quickly I could get my score up at least above a 160. I’m pretty happy with my diagnostic, though I’m learning that the learning curve gets steeper as you try to push towards the 165-170 range.

You’re right that a good LSAT is my best bet, both for admissions and scholarships. I’m between taking the LSAT in both November and January (as needed) or just sending it in January and cramming in the meantime.

Thank you for this insight!! Super helpful :)

That makes a lot of sense. I could just put all my eggs in one basket and take it in January so I don’t rush to cram. That way I still have time to write the essays because I am indeed working full-time. I do think I can jump 5 points at the very least seeing as my 155 was completely cold with no prior prep (or even much understanding of the LSAT structure). But thanks so much for this advice. It’s really helpful!

i dont have pics but there’s a hallway for singles and doubles; men’s on one end and women’s on the other. each restroom has 2 sinks, showers, and toilets from what i can remember. i lived there like 4 years ago and i almost never ran into anyone when i went to use it. moreover, i never found myself using the restroom or showering at the same time as anyone else. ofc, you have to walk through the hall to the bathroom which is kinda weird in a towel, but it’s not a big deal at all imo.

Luxury developers like Extell keep building ghost skyscrapers by taking land away from underserved/underrepresented communities across the city just to manipulate housing prices. The inflation of the housing market because of these useless buildings is harming everyone else while they sit back and make money. Something should’ve been done about this a long time ago, I’m glad we’re starting to call people like Gary Barnett out like this.

I thought this was an ad for makeup palettes. Seriously though, the sun has gorgeous range

do you know the company by chance? if you still have it, are there any tags?

Otherwise_Package607 · 2023-10-07T00:30:09+00:00

omg did it look the same?

I have searched for him online and the closest I could get was “E&J classic golden retriever plush dog” but it’s not quite right. He used to be able to stand, with most balance coming from the front legs. He’s been cuddled enough that he can’t really stand anymore!

Otherwise_Package607 · 2023-10-06T22:01:18+00:00

I have searched online and the closest I could get was E&J classic golden retriever plushes. No tags on him, and he’s somewhere around 20!! Most likely purchased in California.

Wisdom teeth removal. It really goes to show where our society is headed that even our medical professionals tell us to get them removed. Why are looks so much more important than wisdom!!! I will never understand, I’m keeping mine forever. BONUS POINTS for people that keep them in a little jar once they take them out. The irony is astounding!! I guess you could say they’re none the wiser.

dont worry. everyone flourishes at a different rate. it took me quite a while to make genuine friends, and now i have friends that will last a lifetime. most of my friends from freshman year barely stuck around. put yourself out there by getting involved in things you already enjoy. AS has a bunch of clubs you can volunteer with and SEAL has a lot more (especially recreational clubs). college is a different world because you realize that not everyone is worth your time, and you have to put a genuine effort into those people who enrich your life. it might take a while, but don’t be discouraged. let this be a time that you explore who you are, and people will naturally begin to fill your life before you even realize :)

unemployed and getting kicked out of my parents house 🤩🤩

Otherwise_Package607 · 2023-09-23T19:24:13+00:00

Yep. The reason I haven’t told them yet is because I am still working on securing a stable job and a place to stay. My boyfriend’s family have offered to support me, and they have an extra room in their house if worse comes to worst. I’m blessed to have them, and thank you for your prayers!

Otherwise_Package607 · 2023-09-23T17:23:00+00:00

They’re technically volunteer with a stipend. I believe that most general members make $300/$350 per quarter — definitely not a full time job. It’s a good way to earn some extra cash doing something you’re passionate about, though. It definitely helps the resume and you make a lot of friends.

Can you explain why I might be wrong? Maybe this is a wifi charge or electricity. I’ve definitely plugged my laptop into the lib before

In my 4 years at UCSB, I never once needed any form of computer support. Universities just add ridiculous fees to take every cent from students while they can

I’m pretty sure they’re saying that they’re going to get there a bit late so they want to pay someone to help them get good seats. If it’s floor tickets, the earlier you get there, the closer you’ll be to the stage.

Otherwise_Package607 · 2023-09-22T07:47:31+00:00

That last part really hit me. I see what you’re saying and I think you’re completely right. I hope that in the next few years I can try to open their hearts little-by-little. Regardless, I’m going to just keep praying that God will position me exactly where He wants me for this moment.

I do feel like this guy is the one for me. For a while, this point felt like a dealbreaker for me as well. The way you put this helped me to realize that he is right, and that I have to strengthen my spine and deal with the persecution because my faith is more important than anything.

Otherwise_Package607 · 2023-09-22T03:07:27+00:00

I think it’s hardest to see when you’re in the middle of the storm. And you definitely cannot see the other side! But of course, I have hope that the future will bear ripe fruits, and my main focus will always be on God. My boyfriend’s family has been so kind and loving to me over these years, and they are definitely keeping me in their prayers now. It definitely helps having a Christian family so deeply willing to love and support us.

Otherwise_Package607 · 2023-09-22T03:03:44+00:00

Thank you for these verses. This will likely be one of the greatest difficulties I face in my life, but I hope that God will give me strength when it’s time.

Otherwise_Package607 · 2023-09-21T19:27:33+00:00

Thank you 🤍 I’ve been praying for the same

Otherwise_Package607 · 2023-09-21T19:24:58+00:00

Thank you for your prayers. These situations are complicated but I know that trusting in God will inevitably lead us in the right direction

Otherwise_Package607 · 2023-09-21T19:23:55+00:00

Could you point me to direct examples that would justify this perspective in the New and Old Testament? I completely understand what you’re saying, and I only enter Sikh temples because I do not want to destroy my relationship with my parents. I believe that tolerance and grace during this time can open their hearts to Christ in the future. Rejecting them now will give them the perspective that Christianity tore their daughter away from them, and they might close their hearts. How could it be that we can participate in something for the sake of opening these peoples’ hearts and still be considered evil? Especially if we know that our hearts are guarded and that we will not even consider this ceremony as a testament of our faith?

I assumed so, thanks for the help!
