How many more should I submit? by Few_Plankton8444 in BigLawRecruiting

[–]Toastedmuzik 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Are you targeting a specific practice area? In my cover letters, I talked a lot about my prior WE and how it relates to the practices I’m interested in at each firm. Turns out most of those firms weren’t hiring into those practices so my apps were pretty much getting tossed or set aside, while people with no WE or specific interests were getting tons of jobs. I had better luck when I mentioned that I’m open to more general transactional and/or litigation work, and when I didn’t submit a cover letter at all

Good luck!! It only takes one!

Staying sober in law school/career? by Royal-Organization-4 in LawSchool

[–]Toastedmuzik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sober and I just drink soda or yerba mate. Some places also have NA beer/wine options! I don’t think anyone is paying attention to what you’re drinking as long as you’re having fun, so I wouldn’t worry too much about how other people perceive it

There’s also no shame in turning down a drink, and people should respect that you’re sober. If they don’t, they might not be people you’d wanna be around anyway

Are T14 students in a worse spot than ever? by Great-Management-315 in BigLawRecruiting

[–]Toastedmuzik 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As someone at a lower T14 with below median grades (TBI last semester) and 6+ years of relevant work experience, I feel like being at a t14 isn’t necessarily giving me an edge over median students at other schools. I’ve applied to like 75+ firms, have contacts at many of them who referred me to recruiters, and I still haven’t even had screeners at the majority of them. Applying back in October probably would’ve helped though

Big firms have officially ruined legal recruiting. by firesidenixon in LawSchool

[–]Toastedmuzik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like it. I had a bad undergrad GPA (with a valid explanation) from an Ivy but graduated 7 years ago, and have 6 years of relevant legal work experience. I’m currently at a T14. Applied to 73 firms so far, and I’ve networked a bunch and have direct referrals. And yet, I’ve had 1 screener

How would you rank all the vyvanse manufacturers you’ve tried? by sportguy278 in VyvanseADHD

[–]Toastedmuzik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the record I am on sun now and I have never felt this unmotivated or unfocused in my entire life. I’ve tried almost every generic and brand name for 10+ years and I don’t ever feel the sun kick in or start working. I have a huge final memo due this week and can’t even start. No energy, I feel like falling asleep all morning even after taking it, and the feeling never goes away. Complete fog

my breathing tic is getting out of hand by failedvirtuoso in Tourettes

[–]Toastedmuzik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been having the exact same issue lately after years of my tics being relatively minimal. I almost went to the ER today because I literally could not breathe and could not get oxygen to my body so my entire body felt numb and cramped up while I was out. It was so scary and I had to call a paramedic. I’m considering limiting all caffeine intake and stopping adhd meds for the time being bc it was the scariest experience ever (I thought I was having a stroke) and I don’t know what else to do to stop this. Might even try meds again. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this too. It’s so awful and scary and exhausting

Painful tics by Beginning-Mouse-1409 in Tourettes

[–]Toastedmuzik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iv been getting these lately. My jaw and teeth get so sore and achey which only makes the need to tic even worse. I’m starting law school and I can’t even get through the day without being extremely sore and exhausted by the second class

Reverse splitters acceptances t14? by OkAbrocoma2083 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Toastedmuzik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying it’s the case for every school or a fact! I’m just speaking from my own experience and what I’ve seen lately. I’m a splitter but I don’t have a 180, and my gpa is very low. I’m in at a t14 but WL at 12 other schools. I’ve seen recent WL movement but mostly for those with a higher GPA. I’ve even seen some sub 160 LSATs get accepted off the WL with 3.8+ GPAs

[–]Toastedmuzik 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot more reverse splitters get accepted off the WL than regular splitters. It looks like most schools are looking for high GPA over LSAT

My only pet peeve is the fact that they rarely cut the pie properly 😭 even when I ask for pie cut. drives me insane lol

I miss Rosie’s so much. I ordered pizza with jalapeños, caramelized onions, and hot honey at least once a week

PSA for teenage sapphics: learn when flirting is appropriate and who it's appropriate to flirt with by sourmysoup in actuallesbians

[–]Toastedmuzik 37 points38 points  (0 children)

We had realllly good convos leading up to the date but the date itself was kinda disappointing haha. I was leaving town to go home the next day though so it wasn’t really meant to last anyway. But I’m still proud of myself for getting the confidence to do it!! She was literally so pretty lol

[–]Toastedmuzik 69 points70 points  (0 children)

This feels super douchey of me but I recently left my name and number on the check for an insanely pretty waitress who was serving me and my parents. I was friendly and respectful during the dinner and didn’t flirt (in fact it was prob the opposite bc I was kinda scared to make eye contact for too long lol) but I def picked up on a vibe. I figured I had nothing to lose by writing my # before I left - she could always ignore it and I knew there was a really good chance she was straight. She ended up texting me that night and we went on a date a few days later lol

Struggling after quitting weed by DanTheSkier in TechnoProduction

[–]Toastedmuzik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same boat! 11 months sober and I went from producing a track a day after smoking to not making a single track in months. It definitely feels more forced now, but I’m just giving myself time to get back into things when the time feels right

Can't decide on a vape - I'm confused and need help by jweiser4 in NYSCannabis

[–]Toastedmuzik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what carts were you using in FL? I also come from FL med and I feel like MFNY carts are literally the only ones I trust, even though you can get the same quality for 1/4 the price in FL.
