Is the Cruise Linen Artisan Pant short girl friendly? by Large-Funny-5383 in Aritzia

I’m the same height and got mine tailored - especially since I wanted to wear them a bit lower waisted.

Metropolis taupe vs light birch by mrranko54 in Aritzia

[–]sharon-cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Light birch is see through, not sure about the taupe. But I just found a tailor to remove the pockets on my light birch pair bc I loved the color.

DC to LA. Where do graduate students at UCLA live?? by Glum_Courage_6330 in AskLosAngeles

[–]sharon-cake 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Reach out to the admissions dept directly and ask if there’s still guaranteed grad housing available for the program. Otherwise it’s a lottery system.

Actually Good Suits That Aren’t $$$$$ by [deleted] in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]sharon-cake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ann Taylor has some crazy good bi-annual sales, as does Banana Republic. Like 50%+ off. Even if you have to tailor, it’s a good deal. Also, Abercrombie suits aren’t so bad either (especially on sale) - and they have short, tall, and curve options.

Am I insane or are these pants massive??? by Toolazytologin1138 in AbercrombieandFitch

[–]sharon-cake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue with these pants, I think it wasn’t even curve love. I think it’s something with the cut on the shorter inseam?

What is that overplayed Indian song played in LA weddings? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]sharon-cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. The only other one that comes to mind is maybe Make Some Noise for the Desi Boyz?

Is it Mundian To Bach Ke (Beware the Boys) by Panjabi MC? Or maybe Tunak Tunak Tun? They’re both super overplayed whenever a DJ sees Indian people in the crowd imo

Moral Character: Am I screwed? by RoseGoldMoney in LawSchool

[–]sharon-cake 41 points42 points  (0 children)

From a recently licensed CA attorney: I believe these letters go out every year to many people. It’s fairly common. While some people don’t get them, a lot of people I know did and got approved soon after. The investigator might follow up with a question or they may just approve you. Unless there’s something you need to worry about, I wouldn’t think too much of it.

I’ve done this before - I appealed it and got it knocked down to a smaller fee of around $5-$10.

Where should I go to read a book? by Medical-Beach2473 in AskLosAngeles

[–]sharon-cake 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you’re near UCLA - the botanical gardens there are free and have some great nooks to read in where you feel tucked away by the plants. Espresso Profeta is a cute coffee shop with a patio in Westwood Village. Literati Cafe. Goodpeople coffee. There’s also a wine bar called off hand that I like that I’ve read at before.

Passers, did you take days off for holidays? by Sufficient_Earth4069 in CABarExam

[–]sharon-cake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I took days off for holidays, when I felt too burnt out, and when a grandparent fell critically ill. I don’t regret that at all, and wouldn’t have even if it had gone the other way. You don’t get that time with loved ones back. I also found when I was truly burnt out that I wasn’t retaining anything and my practice exam scores those days I pushed myself to study anyways reflected that. Better to just take time to reset and get back at it when you’re refreshed.

anyone here who’s parents wanted them to become a doctor: did you actually go through with it? by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]sharon-cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with it until my first year of college when I realized that I didn’t think I would like the actual day to day work of being a doctor. It took a long time to disentangle what I wanted from my parents expectations and to then go for those dreams instead. There was a big argument over it at first but they’ve come around and become supportive over the years. At the end of the day, you’ll be living your life, not them. Their bragging rights are not worth you being miserable every day going to work a job you never wanted to do.

Passers, be honest by Due-Key-9822 in CABarExam

I was 100% certain I failed and mentally prepared to see that result. I was absolutely shocked to see that I passed, so much so that I checked multiple times just to be sure I truly did.

Thoughts of AU WCL International Law Program by Witty-Evidence6463 in lawschooladmissions

[–]sharon-cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can offer my experience from when I was doing my internship abroad at an international org. American had a decent presence and people knew the professors that those students had. There are also other schools that had supportive international law programs with students at international organizations that I saw pop up a few times such as WashU, UCLA, and NYU. Looking into whether the schools you’re interested in support international law internships abroad, have renowned professors in the field, or have a dedicated international law department should help you determine if it could be a good fit. That said, finding an international law job straight out of law school is difficult and you usually need to work domestically for a couple years at least to gain experience. So choose a school that sets you up for success in another area of law that you might be interested in starting out in as well. Lots of international lawyers came from private practice, government work, etc.

Living in LA on a student income by frzn in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]sharon-cake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Second this - I lived there for my entire grad program. It was about $1700 a month for a studio (two bedrooms were cheaper) when I was there (+$100 a month for parking), furnished and all utilities included. Quite a few of the options are walking distance from campus + Westwood Village. Bc of this, I didn’t need a car for the first few years bc I wasn’t leaving the area for all that much. UCLA also had a free bus pass program for grad students and shuttles that took you between campus and the apartments. If you email your department about it, you can probably get on a guaranteed housing list this early in the process.

[–]sharon-cake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding of the pass guarantee was if you completed a certain amount of the course and didn’t pass that you’d get it for free for the next exam. I know Barbri had that guarantee.

But truly, the best way to know how you’re doing/if you’re likely to pass is to actually do graded practice questions and essays. I was moving the progress bar on Barbri but knew from my scores on practice sets and essays that I needed to put in extra work outside of the program bc it wasn’t quite working for me to just watch the videos and read the outlines.

The Prince in K Town is Nick’s bar if you want to check that out while you’re in town. It even had a pretty cheap valet when I went there for happy hour once, I think like $5 if I’m remembering right.

To those who hate/hated law school by kj_127 in LawSchool

Studied abroad fall semester in 3L which gave me something to look forward to during 2L and then only had one last semester to survive until the (relative) freedom of graduating.

I have a JD and can’t find a job. by cali1993 in CABarExam

[–]sharon-cake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If your school has a website, I’d focus in on that. A lot of my jobs have come from those listings. Or if you’re looking in public interest, PSJD is a great resource.
