I miss my grandmother. I think of her every other day, and I cry. I think about how I was fully prepared to leave home, but also expecting to come home twice a month and tell her how law school is. I imagined myself telling her how things are going...how it's not as white as I thought it would be, which is good. That sorta comment would've elicited ( Read more... )

Not sure how I'm feeling... There are two and a half months left of my first semester of law school. I have one grade back and it was a B minus. That was a quiz. I've taken two midterms since, and I'm really eager to see how I'm doing, so I can course correct accordingly. I know I'm not doing law school the way my peers are, and I've felt okay with ( Read more... )

It's a lot of "out of sight, out of mind stuff" happening. And that really reaffirms my decision to leave the state...to leave my life as I knew it...the norm...and to start something new. All the people that I thought were truly for me have shown their true selves since I've been away, and it's only been two months. That's remarkable. But, better ( Read more... )

Not a single day goes by when I'm on that campus that I am not aware of how privileged I am to be in law school. I tear up thinking about how unreal this is...not just for me...but for those who were before me...

I think about my grandmother... She once looked at me in admiration and pride, "you look like a secretary." She smiled at that and I ( Read more... )

He quit. He never gathered the nerve to even call me back. Tomorrow is our board meeting and he sent an email today, short and full of shit, quitting. Claiming that his job is too demanding for any extra roles now. If that's true, why couldn't he call me back? If that's true, why did he get off the phone in a hissy fit? He has to know I'm smarter ( Read more... )

He's a shitty business colleague. He missed the first meeting. He was fifteen minutes late to the last meeting. And today's meeting, he didn't call in...I had to call him, and he was brushing his teeth. I couldn't hold it in any longer. I let him know how unprofessional and seemingly unserious he is in this role. And he didn't respond. I asked him ( Read more... )

The move was crazy. I don't even want to elaborate. Just know that I am completely traumatized enough to stay at this law school for three years just to avoid moving again.

I have crazily been considering transferring schools and I haven't even started yet. The issue is, it's really expensive here. But most importantly, this is not the state that ( Read more... )

I don't have a physical type. I used to say the only preference I had was that he was taller than me. I dated a short guy before. I believe we were the same height. It didn't really bother me because I was like 23, and I wore flats almost all the time. I wasn't really into heels at that point. Quite frankly, I was just getting into skirts and ( Read more... )

Moving to Pennsylvania has been a lot. $4000 for movers, $3000 for rent, turn off my electric, internet, renter's insurance here. Turn on my electric, internet, renter's insurance there. Forward all my mail. Arrange a move-out inspection here, arrange a move-in inspection and get my keys there... That's the hardest part because the movers only gave ( Read more... )

I've felt in limbo for a while. Longer than I realized.

I've had so much stuff still at my parent's house. I moved out hastily because I felt pressured. No one that age was still living at home. I let people make me feel bad about it, as if I wasn't independent. And so when I moved out, I left a lot of things. It wasn't the way I wanted to leave. I ( Read more... )
