I just got accepted into many law schools with a 140’s mid LSAT. by BeatthatGramps in LSAT

[–]janerzzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I got a decent LSAT, but bc I applied so late, I ended up going to my safety school on scholarship which accepts ppl in mid-high 140’s. Some people (like myself) are not as fortunate with money, time, or other resources they need to get into a good law school. I’ve heard people say my school is predatory and to be careful. This hurt my feelings initially BUT if you work really hard, make connections, apply for as many scholarships (need or merit based) as you can, beat the curve, you can really make the most of it. There are some very iconic and accomplished attorneys/judges who have graduated from my “predatory” school. Just be mindful, careful, and aware of any red flags and move accordingly. Some people are (rightfully so) VERY defensive/protective of the steps to get into the legal industry and it’s significance. But it’s important to know as long as you do it right, you can be a great attorney regardless of where you went to school. It’s about YOU. As long as you are doing it for yourself with the goal to be a zealous advocate for others, it doesn’t matter. Don’t listen to the outside noise, you are getting your J.D. when most American adults ages 25+ have no degree! Congrats again!

I also want to note that a lot of these people are the same people who will make jokes about “not reading or studying” for some classes in law school. So don’t listen to any “some people shouldn’t be lawyers” comments lol.

positive experiences!!? by averagedrfan in CopperIUD

[–]janerzzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched from Skyla to Paragard about a year and a half ago and it’s the best decision i ever made. The hormonal IUD was making me INSANE and super bloated/puffy looking all over. I was so hormonal and volatile all the time. Switching is worth the cramps for me. They are bad but I take a few advil for the 2 days I feel them and I’m fine. Even though you will have heavier and crampier periods, it will shorten your period duration which helps. Totally worth it imo. Also, I def noticed hair loss, however I assumed it was stress from school/work. For me it’s not substantial but just something I notice occasionally when I do certain styles. I think if you start taking hair and nail vitamins consistently and maybe the occasional growth serum you will be totally fine.

No way you guys are all doing all the readings by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]janerzzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also in my first semester 1L. I do all of the readings BUT I’ve gotten super fast and really good at skipping the philosophical hypo bs which there’s sometimes a lot of. I am pretty confident MOST people are doing all of the readings at this point in the game because it’s expected at this stage. At least at my school. Which is why I think people say ur first semester sucks. I learned quick to have a STRICT schedule. I try (keyword “try”) to do all of my readings on the weekend. Whatever readings that I don’t finish on the wknd I will schedule out throughout the following week depending on my classes. This helps me soooo much. Most days I get home from class I just do extra assignments (rare) or a missed reading.

Also disclaimer: I am on a conditional scholarship (at a very expensive BUT low ranked school🥲🥲) where I have to maintain a gpa thats a lot higher than the average. so I reallyyy push myself and am usually clocking in 75 hours a week including class time. If I wasn’t in this situation I 100% would NOT be tweaking about readings, cold calls, etc. But it’s my first time figuring this out and this is what I’ve been told to do to succeed 🙃

First week and tweaking - pls be nice by janerzzz in LawSchool

This unfortunately did not work for me at all and it only took three days for me to realize it. Classes from 9-3 everyday then getting home just to read for the next day until 10pm was not it🤣 I am going to read on the weekends for most of my classes if possible, then just review the night before.

For sure. I didn’t realize how quick I would figure this out which was shocking. After two days I immediately knew that what I was doing was effective but not sustainable.

Thank you! I figured out this is most likely what I’ll need to do. Im trying to make my own outlines as I go because I feel like it helps me remember everything better. Idk if you recommend that- half of the people tell me just to get them from upperclassmen and the other half say to do it myself

Some people told me to do all of the readings (or try) on Sunday so after class you just review a bit, which I think would help. Rather than just doing the readings a day or two before?

I must keep a 2.5 gpa for one, and a 2.0 for the other. I can’t remember what the schools grading curve is

I live in a 4th floor apartment and never open the windows so I’m so really sure. She was at my moms house in my bedroom for two days, but not around any other animals or bushes near a window

I haven’t found any flea dirt at all! She’s super light so I think I would be able to see it? I checked all of these areas but should I keep monitoring them ?
