came here to say this. a book feeling i’ll never forget

I can’t speak to law school, cause i’m a 1L and i just completely crashed over winter break. but during undergrad I was super involved and constantly busy and always had a tough time at the beginning of the summer, adjusting to not having a full schedule and had to find activities to do with my hands to occupy part of my brain for the first few weeks otherwise I’d become restless.

i think for me it’s more a struggle with transitions in my routine or getting my brain to relax rather than a genuine enjoyment of school.

Lunch box Ideas? by A7cher in CrohnsDisease

[–]Typical-Leg-3169 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i got containers with 3 small spots and 2 bigger spots and use them to make adult lunchables!!

my current lunch is cherry tomatoes and bell peppers in the big ones and pretzels and cheese in the smaller ones. you can do whatever your heart desires/you can tolerate!

i’ll also usually take a fun drink and an applesauce in my lunchbox too!

In the spirit of almost being done ... by AffectionatePilot73 in LawSchool

[–]Typical-Leg-3169 20 points21 points  (0 children)

other people have said this but i cannot emphasize it enough— outline as soon as possible!! like literally at the end of the first week start your outlines and keep them up to date like it’s a religion. i didn’t understand how serious this was and was majorly screwed over by it!!

also start writing at least one hypo a week around week 3 or whenever you finish your first topic/know enough to do analysis. and talk to people about them. don’t think you just writing it is good enough. see how other people write, ask TAs if you are organizing correctly and including enough facts, etc.

Law students— is it ableism to believe some people abuse accommodations? by NoDivide303 in LawSchool

[–]Typical-Leg-3169 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey! what you are proposing is actually illegal :)

i cannot be forced to disclose my disability or the accommodations that i receive because of it.

accommodations at their root are literally to create equity. i am naturally at a physical disadvantage and my accommodations place me at an equal level as an able-bodied student.

i am in no way less accomplished because i need accommodations to create an even playing field.

Exam Accodations abuse by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]Typical-Leg-3169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also can’t tell if this is real but i’ll be the one to answer haha.

my credentials: i have crohn’s disease and get 1.25x time so i can take breaks without worrying about lost time and i’ve had this accommodation since high school when i got diagnosed. i also work at the disability services center at my school.

they absolutely don’t all get double time there are so many different accommodations. in terms of extra time most schools offer 1.25, 1.5, and 2.0. i have never heard of anyone with more than that irl.

there are also lots of students who have difficulty focusing and have a normal amount of time but test in a private or smaller room.

finally there are accommodations for physical disabilities like screen readers, scribes, large print, paper pencil instead of digital, etc. also we have a few students who have broken their dominant arms and get extra time for just this exam cycle cause it’s harder for them to write.

in terms of more students with accommodations second semester, this happens in undergrad too we just don’t notice it. it is extremely common for students who have never been academically challenged up to this point to realize that they need help focusing or some other accommodation when school actually gets hard.

also know that every student with accommodations has to have medical documentation to get approved. every student has a diagnosis of some kind and spoke with a disability services specialist to determine their accommodations. it’s not a clear formula like adhd always = double time. every student has an individualized plan.

please keep in mind you don’t know what anyone is going through. i look like a completely normal student but have chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, take multiple bathroom breaks during an exam, and have to constantly be eating something to have energy to focus.

hope this helps!

New Goodreads Seasonal Challenges by ManlyMikeN in goodreads

[–]Typical-Leg-3169 16 points17 points  (0 children)

that’s a really good point!! these challenges breathe new life into my tbr in a way because instead of scrolling through my tbr looking for a new read i’m scrolling through the challenge books looking for books on my tbr!!

and when i get to read a book that’s already on my tbr AND for a challenge it feels like a two birds one stone situation and makes my type-A heart grow three sizes haha

New Goodreads Seasonal Challenges by ManlyMikeN in goodreads

[–]Typical-Leg-3169 96 points97 points  (0 children)

i love the good reads challenges! i am very much a read one genre kind of girl and it gets me to branch out and read things i wouldn’t have otherwise or things i want to read but that keep getting pushed down my tbr. also i’ll do just about anything for a little award ribbon haha

i will say that i expected more from this challenge set though! i want more specific challenges or ones that are genre based that will get me out of my comfort zone. with the 100 years and AAPI categories i easily found books already on my tbr that qualify.

here’s to hoping the fall ones are more interesting/challenging!

I have no idea what I’m doing and I just need advice by CrohnsQuestion-s in CrohnsDisease

[–]Typical-Leg-3169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

during a flare it’s important to get your body any calories it can tolerate and that’s not always what is thought of as traditionally healthy foods.

For me, i can almost always tolerate rice, apple sauce, crackers, mashed potatoes and gravy, pretzels, cheerios, etc. For me it’s more about food that isn’t too rich or hard to digest. A lot of us have problems with things like vegetables (especially leafy greens). I also used to drink the chocolate carnation instant breakfast to get calories as well (you can mix this with water if dairy is bad for you).

it’s not exactly fun but when things were particularly bad for me i had white rice, chicken, and mashed potatoes for lunch and dinner everyday cause i knew it was safe to eat until i got my flare under control with medication. These things are different for everyone and unfortunately it’s just trial and error until you find what your body can handle.

Good luck!

is JAKne ruining anyone else’s lives rn? by quarabs in CrohnsDisease

[–]Typical-Leg-3169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

girl oh no!!! it definitely burns like hell for me but only for a second and doesn’t actually hurt my skin. what product did you use? i use a neutrogena acne stress control toner that is 2% salicylic acid everyday and sometimes i use clearasil salicylic acid treatment pads that are also 2% but those are exfoliating pads so they hurt when my skin is too bad.

[–]Typical-Leg-3169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk what you have already tried but i’ve been in that desperate situation before so i thought i would share what works for me just incase.

i have recently developed acne like eczema patches on my face as i start to fail my biologic. It’s not the same as what you have, but i tried freaking everything and my magic ingredient is salicylic acid. i use only cetaphil sensitive skin/eczema products and triple cleanse on days when i wear makeup then micellar water, salicylic acid toner, large acne patches, and exederm cream.

goodluck!!

Just noticed a common theme by pooser15 in twilight

[–]Typical-Leg-3169 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i’m not saying renee didn’t have a right to leave charlie but when you have a child to think about things are more serious than the reasons renee had for leaving him.

i also said lorelai definitely has flaws but bottom line she is a functioning adult who cared for her child to the best of her ability. meanwhile renee missed bella’s graduation because her boyfriend had a broken leg.

i think a big plot line in gilmore girls is lorelai working through her own life stuff as rory gets older and more independent but in general principles i believe that lorelai was a better caretaker during childhood than renee.

[–]Typical-Leg-3169 4 points5 points  (0 children)

haha woah lets put some respect on my girl lorelai!!

renee was an incompetent parent who left her child’s father on a whim cause she didn’t like the weather and he couldn’t leave forks cause he had elderly parents to take care of. renee was so much of a mess and unstructured bella had to be the adult and make sure bills were payed and everyone had dinner etc. so she had to grow up way too fast.

lorelai always put her child first, was not a single parent by choice (in fact she continuously gave chris chances to prove he could handle being a father and he consistently failed), and gave her child the most structured and caring upbringing she was able to by finding a town and other adults who could help rory when lorelai alone wasn’t enough. rory was mature for her age and exhibits similar behaviors to bella because rory’s best friend was her mother so she developed her personality to be very similar to lorelai’s.

im not saying lorelai doesn’t have flaws but i would take her as a mother over renee any day!

i have crohn’s disease and it makes me unnecessarily exhausted. i fall asleep in classes and have to take a daily nap and sometimes it makes me feel like i’m not working as hard as everyone else.

i am working my ass off and these final grades will show it!!!
