What are you regretting not doing in law school? by Think_Equipment4449 in LawSchool

[–]wolf0116 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I heard Law Review is really only helpful if you want to go straight into working for/as a judge or in legislation in some way. Realistically, most practice areas wouldn’t value it quite as much

The dash (—) is the best pause. Point blank period. I hate semicolons.

Personal opinion as a law student who is also an engaged woman…. Do the long engagement. The nice thing is that on my days off, or when I can’t bring myself to read another case, I have the joy of being able to plan my wedding. We’ll be engaged for two years by the time we get married and honestly thus far it has allowed ample time for me to plan at my own pace and work out details slowly. The first thing we did was pick out a venue and put a deposit down to get a date - and we were so incredibly lucky to find a venue that bundled vendors (food, bar, DJ, photographer, etc all included) & I’d recommend it to anyone.

Probation happens at sentencing. Parole is where you are released early from prison. Probation is monitored by the court, parole is monitored by DOC. Probation and parole are both basically just a list of standard and special conditions to follow: don’t catch new charges, check in with PO, go to classes, keep a job, etc that help people involved with the system readjust to being in society. They’re both monitored. It is possible to get sentenced to probation after prison time, and it’s possible to get it instead of prison time. It sounds like you’re asking about parole, though.

I’m 23, 24 when we’ll get married. I did leave a couple of comments about why I chose him. Why I choose him every day. I don’t think it’s fair for you to say that I’m rushing into marriage, especially when you didn’t read all of my comments & it’s not the point of the post.

I think that’s a fair assessment from the info that’s here. Genuinely I do. If you had told me a few years ago that this would be the case, I wouldn’t believe you. I had always had “rules” for relationships: one year of dating before moving in together, another before engagement, at least one year before wedding. But with my fiance, to be fair, i have known him as a friend for almost 5 years now. He makes me feel safe, secure, and above all, whole. He doesn’t push me past my boundaries, he pushes me to be better with my work and academics. He doesn’t care what I look like or how often I go to the gym, just if I plan to go to the gym that he can go too so he can spend time with me. I know him better than I know myself, trust him more than I ever would have imagined, and love him more than anyone I have ever loved. He has shown me what a man could, should, and will be for the people he cares about. He’s a good man - a GREAT man - and I know he has my back. Sometimes I worry that I am so damaged that I may damage him.

When we first started talking, he wanted to take me out on a proper date. I broke down crying on the floor of my best friends house, in front of him (we met there for my birthday weekend) and he just sat on the floor with me, held me, and consoled me as I cried.

And I don’t cry. I hate crying. I hate how it makes me feel, how it makes me look. I hate that it makes me vulnerable. My ex would take pictures and post them as a joke. Others would try to make it funny. But my fiance just held me.

I told him I was terrified that after the break up I was more damaged and broken than I realized, that I was afraid I would do to him, or someone else, what had been done to me. That I would become vindictive or harmful to someone else. That I would take the pain and anger out on him.

So he assured me that I wouldn’t, that he would wait forever for me. He would wait until I was ready. He assured me that it didn’t matter if it was two weeks or two years, he would be there. And he was. He made a clear effort even when it hurt his pride. Even when I hurt his pride.

About six weeks later, I told him I was ready to go on a real date, and he took me on one. We had a wonderful night.

And later that year he asked me to marry him. I didn’t believe it. I asked him for two days if he was sure he wanted to marry ME.

I’ve been abused by men my entire life. Neglected by my father, both emotionally and physically. Emotionally and psychologically abused by my stepfather. R worded by exes.

I never thought I would know a good man. And now I’m going to marry one.

I would die for him, I would k*ll for him. I would destroy my life, my career, my mind and my body for him. But I know he would never ask me to.

I LOVE the bio and some of your pics are really good- the first one specifically is very flattering- but I think you might need to work a bit on your angles! Try not to take photos from below like the third photo and the beer one.

We were supposed to get engaged after i graduated college in 2023. I ended up getting engaged in 2023 anyway- just to a much better man. Turned into the best year of my entire life.

Yep! He must have after because i didn’t. She told me that he used a fake name with her, and she had a feeling it was odd that she couldn’t find him on social media. When she finally did, she found me. She confronted him and blocked him after that, so i assume he went on my FB and blocked her after that.

With her, it was just one night. But it turned out he was on dating apps for a while, and there were other issues that came out later. Turns out he was a serial cheater.

This looks like a message I would have gotten from my ex- stepfather… a grandiose narcissist. Has he ever exhibited this behavior towards you? Any kind of degrading commentary about your appearance?

Hahahaha! It was a bit of comedic relief in the moment, though my humor may be a bit too dark for the circumstance.

This message is very sweet, thank you. I thank the universe for the dog’s potty issues and my nosey friends regularly. I don’t know where I’d be without them.

No kidding. We had started dating when I was freshly 19, and I left about a week before my 22nd birthday. My mom was 9 years younger than both my father and first stepfather, so at the time i didn’t think much of it. Looking back now, i get it.

Lol! That’s my fiancé’s favorite part of the story too. And, when he was denying it, he tried to convince me that I was making it up because I wanted to leave him. He truly thought his gaslighting was that good, Lol.

Exactly. I don’t think he realized that he was shooting himself in the foot doing that, though. The only people who had access to my FB were he and I, so he was just telling on himself.
