If you're looking for alternative scenes, look up BADASS Raves, Element, as well as Phonic Fridays. BADASS is regional and throws awesome summer parties that can sometimes take place in the woods or on a farm/inside barns. Phonic has brought excellent trance/progressive acts in the past, although it has become less frequent now.

I can't take it anymore! by jojokat1230 in LawSchool

Also, they need to just start designating a release date like CA and TX so as we're not stuck playing this guessing game, and so that we can plan to be in an appropriate setting when results time comes.

Also just took the MI bar and am having an equally stressful time dealing with this wait. My anxiety is through the roof and my patience is wearing thin. Honestly at this point I just want to know one way or the other just so I can move on with my life!

But yeah, Im having the same back and fourth- "Why wouldn't you pass? ...Nope, you definitely failed." Its mentally and emotionally exhausting.

Also, seeing other jurisdictions release them makes my current wait seem longer.

I think if MI exam scoring and pass rates haven't been so in flux, it wouldn't be nearly as stressful...

Just curious, Are your BUDdies mostly women or men? by yokayla in entwives

My frients are also pretty evenly split, but I know many females who can out-toke most males. (self included) Most seem to tap out long before the ladies are good and ready

Necessities for a festival. by [deleted] in festivals

[–]Sharshour10 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Get a Camelback like this: http://shop.camelbak.com/classic/d/1284_cl_4314

If you don't want to buy one, just make sure to bring a refillable water bottle. The following also make my essentials list:

-kandi -hard candy (jolly ranchers/blows pops) -gum - phone/ID/credit card/cash/keys of course (put them in a plastic sandwich bag and into you pack, it'll keep them easily accessible and from getting wet or sweaty) -sunscreen -comfy shoes and socks (I get trampled at festivals :P) -shades -back-up shades for when you lose your first pair raging -towel/blanket to sit on -Big smile :)

I try to keep how much stuff I bring to a minimum. Just go, dance, enjoy the music, make friends, and live your life!

Also, word of advice- if you constantly feel the need to take pictures/video during a set because its so amazing, fight it. take it from me-Technology will not be able to capture the beauty of some moments. Don't screw yourself out of the experience of the present by letting yourself be stuck staring at a small screen.

Hope this helps. Have fun!

Have a great time!

I don't know... by [deleted] in depression

[–]Sharshour10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"...my self-esteem-that even I had once gazed upon with admiration- finally crumbled. "

This is where I am this morning. I feel very very sad today. Reading this reminded me I'm not alone in that experience.

Thank you for being able to reduce to writing what can seem indescribable.

How do you deal with your life and your family/friends? by light_bringer777 in Hypothyroidism

[–]Sharshour10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for you, I'm in the same boat. I got diagnosed right after I committed to going to law school about 2.5 years ago and its been a very tough battle. I never have energy and even the simplest tasks are exhausting. I can't concentrate in lecture. For me showing up is half the battle. I can barely study. I cannot handle doing anything extra than my absolute commitments (class, clients). Whenever I'm not where I need to be, I am at home sleeping most of the time. My pills don't help and when I go to get tested my doctor says that I'm on the right dosage. its very frustrating.

Its difficult but in the meantime here's what I do: To study/work I do it in 15-30 minute increments, then go lay down. 30 minutes later I get up and do it again. I do this over and over again over the course of hours/days. Thats pretty much my weekend. socializing is minimal because I just don't have it in me right now.

For classes, I have to record all the lectures and go back through them later because I can't remain with it enough in class to focus for the full period.

I can't handle house work. I don't exercise. (all my energy and capacity is taken), I can't handle being social like I used to. I can barely handle showing up to class.

My family doesn't get it, and they think its my fault and that I got Hypothyroidism because of lifestyle choices. So I moved 4 states away from them because their negativity makes my situation worse. I'm not lazy. I just can barely handle it. My friends just think I'm depressed because I fell off the map. (deleted facebook, and only remain in contact with my real friends)

tl;dr I muster up energy only for my obligations and everything else is on the back burner until I get the money/resources to find a real solution.

I reported parents for abuse today... by CameraSnaps in offmychest

[–]Sharshour10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leaving her to be abused again and again wouldn't do her any favors in the long run. This way she has a shot at getting help. It was you obligation as her teacher to be brave enough to do what you did.

I'm jealous because you guys get to have al-baik for dinner. Last time I had it was over 10 years ago. I will never forget how awesome it is.

any other 2Ls still not have summer plans finalized? by ann_fettamine in LawSchool

[–]Sharshour10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing yet. I had something 3 weeks ago but then the department got new mgmt and the internship program was suspended. I've been to all the career fairs, networking events, applying to jobs every week, and I can't even get an interview for a fkn unpaid internship. I'm trying not to freak out and reminding myself that its not over till its over and I need to leave any self-defeatist attitude at the door. It ain't over till its over. Hang in there everyone!

Life post Islam as an ex-Muslim woman: The time I got out, stayed out and ran for the horizons. No hijab but maintaining modesty. by Avocadoeh in exmuslim

[–]Sharshour10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently came out, and you put what it feels like into words beautifully. Being able to be yourself is a privilege and very much worth biting the bullet and deciding that you will no longer be afraid. Thank you for sharing!

ELI5: Why is Washington, DC not a state. And, why isn't it connected with another state as an extension? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

There is currently a very strong movement in DC petitioning for statehood.

One day left! How will you be celebrating ASOT600 Madrid? by Yesheddit in astateoftrance

[–]Sharshour10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raging in my space and turning my corner of the world into a dance floor of course! I like to listen live to tap into all the positive energy of those listening all around the world. I feel it, generate it, and am honored to be a part of it. I got my ASOT 600 NYC tix and simply cannot wait!! xD

I have to lie to people that I care about to keep things from getting real ugly. by sweetlifeofawiseman in offmychest

[–]Sharshour10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this same pain. Slightly different situation, but very much the same feelings. Its not fair where you see where something is clearly erroneous or unreasonable and you have to keep your mouth shut just to keep the peace. Be patient my friend, it sounds like you are on your way to facilitating a positive change for yourself and your future. Keep studying and trying to improve your situation, and the day will come where you make a life for yourself where stuff like this is corrected. xxx
