What they don’t teach you in law school

January 9, 2015January 10, 2015Leave a comment

Every day when I wake up, I have to remind myself how blessed I am. Approximately 1/3 of the population has a college degree. There are about 1 million active, licensed attorneys and the US had a population of 316.1 million people as of 2013. I am part of an extremely elite profession that encompasses … Continue reading What they don’t teach you in law school

"I've been workin' this grave shift/ and I ain't made sh*t/ I wish I could, buy me a spaceship and fly. . ."- Kanye West http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pB8qGLFvic I spent my New Year's Day working.

I was starting to get pretty bummed; I had started applying to secretary and paralegal positions just to get some money coming in and fill the gap on my resume.

I feel like I'm destined to live my life in reverse order of everyone else. I've been a big fan of astrology since I was younger. I put no stock in horoscopes--I believe that psychics exists but I don't believe that anyone can predict a person's day to day life based on his or her … Continue reading Out of Sync
