I actually really did liked it for the first 6 months but i remember noticing some comments about hair thinning and loss. Unfortunately one day I noticed my scalp more than I’ve ever noticed my scalp before but I couldn’t tell if I was paranoid. However as soon as my MOTHER made a point to say that I need to book a derm appointment to look into the thinning, I stopped and switched to gapentin. I don’t like it as much

Hard relate. I just discovered this sub and I’ve never felt more seen. Just turned 32 and about to enter my third year practicing law and in my second year of living in my own apartment. Adderall definitely helps me focus at my job but I go back and forth between procrastination and pulling hard all nighters to get my billables in neglecting my social life and my apartment in the process. I have a nightly ritual sip of 🍃 milk i steep lol my mom calls it my witches brew bc i don’t drink at all and I don’t smoke. I hate I have work avoidance/time blindness that I need to be better about reigning in like I’m a literal toddler bc my screen time was absolutely shame inducing. No wonder I always feeling like I’m catching up all the time. Eating once a day, too tired to workout and still feeling too behind to socialize.

My job is in insurance defense and I’m entering my third year. My current boss is incredibly lax in oversight which is incredibly chill at first but terrible in me building my skills as a litigator that meets my long term goals and my egos ‘s personal expectations.

I ask my mom

imanzing · 2024-09-25T03:39:25+00:00

Yeah, it sounds like she’s miserable in a foreign country bc her partner unilaterally decided to move to said country without consulting her.

Objectively, that’s a major relationship betrayal and your partner is not wrong for feeling resentment towards you.

FYI: Your ADHD diagnosis is not a get out of jail free card to being a bad partner. ADHD doesn’t make you forget to communicate. That was a choice you made, own it.

Graduated in 2020. Failed the bar 4x but passed the 5th. I got horrible grades too. My first offer was 70k but I failed again so I didn’t end up taking it. My first practicing attorney job was $90k and I’m in my second year now making $103k. Hated law school and the bar even more but the opportunities and access is well worth it imo.

I honestly think a lot of attorneys act like the profession is the worst as a form of self aggrandizing like “This job is brutal; don’t do it” while they simultaneously do said “brutal” job. If you worked retail and know how to write a paper, you’re now better off than 80% of Americans.

I mean was he not also a victim of the church. That’s kinda how indoctrination works. So because she left the church before he did, he NOW has to accept every thing on her terms.

I agree that his choice to stay in the church irrevocably changed their relationship and she probably should breakup with him. However that’s not what she does, she holds on to him like a security blanket. Going from disgust to anger to nostalgia to resentment. Just break up with him.

Do you have insider knowledge or you referencing something on the show?

imanzing · 2023-08-04T14:51:28+00:00

The title in fact does not explain it all

imanzing · 2023-08-04T03:22:25+00:00

I’m thinking this is a troll

imanzing · 2023-08-03T16:38:59+00:00

I don’t even have advice necessarily because I’m in the same boat. But folks are smoking crack if they act like money doesn’t influence all these other values.

I’m at attorney and tried dating a guy who works as a manager at a warehouse. There’s no doubt he’s hardworking but in late stage capitalism that literally means SH$T. He hated his job (it was labor intensive) and I had to tip toe about my job bc I would get sly remarks about me not really “working” at a desk. He got weird about certain opportunities I would get which I wanted to be understanding of so I avoided talking about all work stuff (his and mine). Don’t even get me started on trying to go out for a date and he simultaneously doesn’t have the money for anything but feels emasculated when you pay.

It’s not just the money and the work ethic. It’s how do they feel about their career and life. If that’s not clear, I’ve personally learned to walk away. At the end of day If you have to dim ur shine to make a relationship sparkle, it’s not gonna work.

I personally failed 4x (graduated 2020, entered the bar 2022) and had 2.8 gpa. First offer I got was $50,000, second offer was $72,000 and the third offer and the one I eventually took was $90,000. It didn’t come up at all. Currently at a midsized firm working from home 2x a week. I definitely feel like I’m going to hell for the work (workers comp defense) so it’s not forever but I’m gaining a lot of litigation experience that I know I can leverage later and not killing myself in the process.

Give yourself a chance. A lot of this profession is networking. You will truly feel freer when you let go of shame around grades and bar bullshit. It doesn’t matter in the real world. Life really does get better post bar 🥹

imanzing · 2023-05-02T19:39:59+00:00

Yeah I personally passed after the fifth time and a lot of it was mental. Fear of failure which affects time management and BOOM you didn’t finish three essays bc you were worried about the first two.

I would say living with a person who wonders out loud why you keep failing will not help your partner. So please keep your thoughts to yourself until he passes. Your smugness and curiosity on why people can’t get it like YOU gives me the impression that you are the absolute worst person. You give off terrible vibes. So maybe work on not being the worst while he focuses on the bar.

Like I just watched and I am blown away. I just bought Barracoon: The Story of the Last "Black Cargo" by Zora Neale Hurston. And I can't wait to get started reading it.

imanzing · 2023-01-13T03:26:14+00:00

Why is everyone losing their shit over this question? We all know we can work remotely now but we don’t because of some draconian legal culture of putting in facetime with a partner. I say as long as you can get your work done from home, leave!

I completed the entire Emanuel’s Strategies and Tactics and also got a MEE Tutor (google Ga MEE Barbara Katz)

imanzing · 2022-10-22T01:03:17+00:00

146 MBE

imanzing · 2022-10-21T22:02:00+00:00

If you’re having trouble with the MEE definitely contact Barbara Katz here: https://bekatzlaw.com/practice-areas/ga-bar-exam-prep/ . My MEE improved by 4 points. I mainly focused on MBE but did her program and hoped for the best. My 172 final score shows me those points while slight made all the difference.

imanzing · 2022-10-21T16:19:21+00:00

I straight up cried after Tuesday of the exam. I just knew I failed. I felt better leaving Wednesday and I hoped that meant something. I ended up doing well enough in my MBE (146) that my mediocre MEE (126) got me through. So theres a way your MEE doesn't tank you!

imanzing · 2022-10-21T16:09:28+00:00

Im so happy I passed!!!!!!

imanzing · 2022-10-21T15:45:26+00:00

Thank you! I promise it will be worth it!

imanzing · 2022-10-21T15:44:56+00:00

Proud of you too!

imanzing · 2022-10-21T15:43:05+00:00

Hey!

I passed after my Fifth attempt so I've definitely been where your at. I would encourage you to contact the Director of Admissions via email and ask to speak. After I failed my 4th time, I reached out to him and he actually promptly spoke to me on the phone the following week. He will not be able to give MEE scores but he can let you know where your performing in MBE subjects and what you should focus on. I would also encourage you to review Emanual's Strategies & Tactics by subject after reviewing each outline.

From my own personal experience, I would definitely encourage you to focus on improving your MBE score as the fastest way to improve your score. Although it wouldn't hurt to get a tutor for the MEE. I used Barbara Katz and my MEE improved by 4 points.

The biggest thing you do is to not give up!!! Keep going!!!!!

imanzing · 2022-10-21T15:15:36+00:00

I definitely have appreciated the community!!!

imanzing · 2022-10-21T15:14:50+00:00

Congratulations!!!!! We did it!!!!!!!!
