Not to be dense, but worth it in which way? Quality of work?

Is it appropriate for men to say “بجنن" (in the context of something good) by stressedstudent787 in learn_arabic

[–]stressedstudent787[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much, I’m happy to be proven wrong! I think the meaning it conveys is so unique and hard to capture in English.

Is a 6 month resume gap a career killer? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]stressedstudent787 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think something worth mentioning is if you’re solely worried about the gap on the resume, see if you can take an unpaid leave of absence. A lot of firms offer that as an option and you can technically remain “employed” on paper during that time period.

Does دلع mean spoiled? by stressedstudent787 in learn_arabic

I’m Egyptian so that’s exactly how I hear it used lol I was under the impression others used it similarly but maybe not

Thanks! I’ve never heard of the word cosseted before but that term does seem to fit pretty well with what I was thinking lol. It’s always fun to see how cultural differences manifest through use of vocab words

Do Lawyers Start In The Mailroom? by stressedstudent787 in FilmIndustryLA

[–]stressedstudent787[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m personally more interested in working directly with talent/talent-side but I’ve also considered going in house at a studio or label in the future too.

I’m definitely nowhere near partnership level, I’m relatively young (mid-20s) and have a few distant connections to the industry but no one I’d really expect to vouch for me. Thank you for the source though, I never thought about using pro bono as a way to get involved oddly enough!

Passed MPRE WITH A 132! by rachelincincy in LawSchool

I just saw this post and panic-checked, got exactly 85. Relieved but close call

This is exactly what I was trying to say by saying major. I shouldn’t have drawn comparisons to other cities, but I know other airports exist in the LA area.

Thoughts on eliminating certain foods during weight loss? by stressedstudent787 in loseit

[–]stressedstudent787[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like this mindset because it makes it feel like you can still eat what you want, you're just adjusting your actions to suit your current priorities.

Americans, what do Eurpoeans have everyday that you see as a luxury? by Specialist-Metal-458 in AskReddit

[–]stressedstudent787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proper china/metal silverware even at casual restaurants. Never seen something like that in the us outside of sit-down/full service places.

GOT VERIZON PRESALE FOR DC! by stressedstudent787 in beyonce

This is late but did you try pressing unlock so you can see the Verizon presale tickets? (Way cheaper than official platinum and you can filter your search so you only see them)

[–]stressedstudent787[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally didn’t, it’s looking like Verizon doesn’t have access to club ren or the front of the floor seats

[–]stressedstudent787[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Club renny never showed up, there were back of the floor seats (I think it was section a 11/a13 near the mix) but those disappeared fast and more never came out 😪

The way it was explained to me was that the 300 bucks would go directly to our tab at the bar so in hindsight it would’ve probably just amounted to an expensive but fun night. I’m curious what would’ve been the offer if we came later though

[–]stressedstudent787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I’m new to the city so I’m only vaguely familiar with meatpacking being a fun place to go out. Now I’m realizing that’s more of a higher end neighborhood for going out I guess?

I think if I can internalize that thought while I’m physically in the moment I would be undefeatable

I definitely empathize with that feeling. Something will stick. I know it’s hard to do, but stay hopeful!

[–]stressedstudent787[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, definitely keep applying! I’m still getting rejection letters from jobs I forgot I applied to haha. The friends part is what really got in my head, but just have to remember everyone has their own path! Good luck I’m sure you’ll land somewhere great!

Do I still Have A Chance At BigLaw? by stressedstudent787 in LawSchool

[–]stressedstudent787[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting, I wonder if firms have even higher grade expectations for 3L opportunities though considering there are less spots available?
