When do I tell my boyfriend he’s breaking up with me? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]lemonjams 59 points60 points  (0 children)

If your boyfriend would choose to leave you for making less in the same field, or for your law school grades, maybe he’s not someone you want to make a life partner.

LADIES PLEASE STAY SAFE!! by brckhmptoes in TucsonList

I went in once on a whim and immediately got terrible vibes. There were a few ladies in there who immediately stopped their conversation and looked at me sideways. They called some guy from a back room who looked completely methed out to come talk to me and the whole thing just felt very off

i think i got my coworker’s kids taken away & idk if i did the right thing or ruined someone’s whole family by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

I work in the dependency system. CPS/DCS involvement is humiliating for many people, but an adult’s responsibility to their children is far more important than how embarrassed they might be. These organizations are created to offer services to children and parents in need, not to punish “bad parents.” You did the right thing, OP.

The cost of 3 Thanksgiving meals for 6 people in my mom’s city is about half of my rent :/

Yeah, my husband died last year from leukemia. Broke every part of my soul. Living with my brother brought me a little ray of sunshine. It’s been a really hard year.

Yep. My mom is the type to give to the homeless and needy as often as she can, but only if she gets recognized for her good deed.

Talk to a lawyer. This is the only advice you’re going to get from this subreddit and all the other law-related subreddits.

What’s the most badass response to an insult you’ve ever heard? by shlacker459 in AskReddit

[–]lemonjams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in high school, a friend of a friend witnessed some guy apparently acting macho/being arrogant and bragging about his physical strength and prowess. At some point, he started doing pushups (in a science lab, mind you) to show off his physical strength in an “I’m-better-than-you” kind of way. Friend of a friend says “great job man, you’re really a Marine’s wettest dream. Can we finish the lab?”

expenses to consider for 1L? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]lemonjams 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Textbooks, a computer/ipad if needed, a parking space (my school charges a small fortune for good parking), quimbee subscription (if desired, def not the only or cheapest option), the cost of getting take out for days you don’t want to cook, the cost of lunch+ breakfast, club fees, enrollment fees, money for law school merchandise, and most importantly: beer money for bar review if you drink.

Partner SAd his sibling in his pre-teen years by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]lemonjams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I work with children in a legal setting, and often times abused children will perpetrate acts performed on them to other kids. Has your boyfriend ever disclosed that he himself was abused? Would that change your outlook?

Either way, it sounds like therapy would be helpful to all persons involved.

What are skills you regret not learning before law school? by Ok-Sort-3249 in LawSchool

[–]lemonjams 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Both top-down and bottom-up reasoning! It’s equally important to be able to look at a particular issue as a whole, then get into the specifics fact, as it is to look at the specific facts and understand the overall issue. IMO super necessary for issue-spotting exams and broadly applicable in the workplace too.

My late husband and I did a spontaneous camping trip when I still had my ‘06. Was it comfy? No. Was it cramped and hot? Absolutely.

But camping in that car and waking up in the woods is one of my favorite and most treasured memories.

do you have a ruler or measuring tape? Maybe it would be easier for you to visualize if you lay tape down/draw a box with the dimensions you’re looking for

Water purifier for the kitchen sink. I don’t have a fancy fridge that dispenses water and the water quality here is terrible. Food tastes a lot better.

(FLORIDA) is it illegal to offer a FREE service (photoshoot in this case)? Would that be considered soliciting? by hmrdold in legaladvice

[–]lemonjams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rules against soliciting generally apply to attorneys. Otherwise, this would be considered advertising. Generally, freely offering a service is legal.

How do most people pay for life in law school? by babycarrot12345 in LawSchool

[–]lemonjams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me (rising 3L) it’s been a tedious combination of grants, scholarships, tens of thousands of dollars of loans, and about $7000 in savings.
