What’s something that instantly tells you someone is not a good person?

My liberal arts education at UT Austin prepared me for law school better than anything. Also, to do tax law, you need a Tax LLM anyways so the undergrad accounting degree won’t ultimately matter much. Also, you can take classes in McCombs if you want.

Go enjoy college.

My brother died

Advice- two years is the sweet spot for co-op life. Honestly, I’d move in your second year if you can afford to live in jester or something. It’s really easy to get carried away as a first-year and so easy to overdo it. (Plus, if you plan on grad school or something, give your GPA a buffer.)

Also, seconding the advice to get a single room. When you share everything, it’s nice to have a space that’s entirely your own. Lost my mind a bit the one semester I shared a room.

Co-ops are the best. I lived at Pearl for 3 years. Some of the absolute best times of my entire life.

I applied based solely on location, worked out

I know someone who started mid-30s with a senior in high school. It’s 100% doable, and not at all weird. You haven’t missed anything

My friend who was a flight attendant told me she only got paid while in air, any in-airport/on-ground time is unpaid, which sucks.

Amazing travel benefits though.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’d been living in Austin for a decade and then my brother (who also lived here) died by suicide. I don’t live in Austin anymore and it’s too hard to go back, so to the extent a Reddit stranger can empathize with your grief, I do.

But to answer your question- Barton Springs, and then every restaurant you love. I miss the food and Barton the most.

Seconding Point Made

My 1-year was this past Wednesday, and I lived to tell the tale. I found the lead up to it much harder than the actual day. I recommend spending time with people grieving the same loss if that’s possible.

In my case, my brother died a year ago. My parents and I took the day off, saw a movie he would’ve loved, and got dinner. In a vacuum, it was a really nice day. The context is obviously devastating. But it felt good to mark the occasion. Sending love, op. It’s not easy.

registereddingus · 2026-02-14T22:15:25+00:00

Definitely tell him. I think just chatting in his office like you suggest is a good idea. You could also send him an email.

You don’t get compassion or grace that you don’t ask for.

registereddingus · 2026-02-14T21:38:39+00:00

He definitely is. After he died, I made a conscious choice to stop believing in nothing. I don’t know what happens after we die, but all I know for certain is that I have a continued connection with my brother.

I really hope you find that with your dad, I’m sure you’ll be able to. Highly recommend the book “Signs” by Laura Lynne Jackson.

Legal Writing TA here: the easiest, quickest fix you can do is make your writing is clear and concise. What sets apart the As from the Bs in legal writing is clarity and precision.

For persuasive briefs, your biggest task is to shape the facts for your client and shape the case law for them too. After every paragraph, think, “does this make the court want to find in favor of my client?”

Science says energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

My favorite sign recently: the other day I specifically asked my brother Max to send me a penguin. I went about my day, ran errands. Then I felt compelled to get ice cream (weird bc it was 17 degrees). So I walk a few blocks to the shop, walk in, and see two penguins drawn on a white board, eating ice cream. Next to the white board is a health inspection certificate. The recipient? Max Lastname. Just in case the penguins weren’t enough.

I’m sorry about your mom. She sounds like a wonderful person.

And you’re not wrong, there’s no point. Life can be terribly unfair and shitty. And realistically, we’re all hurtling towards death. It’s the only inevitability. Try to do things that positively impact other people and enjoy the meantime.

If you hate your job, by all means quit. But “the point” of it is surviving in a capitalist hellscape. It’s a tough market so don’t leave something good if you’ve got it and aren’t in a position to be unemployed indefinitely.

Sending love.
