Can I Fire Myself? Asking for a Friend....

April 1, 2019 - Nikki Quintana

 

            A while ago, I read a post on Facebook that said “I’m about to fire myself.” My overwhelming response was, “Can we do that?” This single question sent me down a rabbit hole of self-evaluation. If we could hire and fire ourselves, would I still have a job?  Would I describe myself as a go-getter, a procrastinator, a teamplayer?  My 2018 student self-evaluation begins and ends (for today) with analyzing how effective I am as a teamplayer.

Update on the Semester

April 1, 2019 - Christopher Sletvold

I hope everyone had a great break. My big event was taking my girlfriend and son to California for a week. We visited a redwood forest, enjoyed some Christmas shopping, and I even got to go have some good California micro brews while rocking some Karaoke. After my Christmas party loss, it felt good to redeem myself with some of my songs (Johnny B. Goode and Rockin’ Robbin). The best brew consumed? Great White. It was perfect: low IBU (international bitterness unit) and higher ABV (alcohol by volume), just like I like my beer.

Checking In!

April 1, 2019 - Vrinda Gandhi

Starting a new semester is always exciting, especially when it’s your last semester of law school, EVER! I am approximately 4 months away from graduation and that time frame seems close, yet so far at the same time. In these next 4 months, I hope to gage a better understanding of what life outside of law school will be like. These next few months are also going to be hectic as I have a long BAR application to fill, early BAR prep to start and job hunting to do. Currently, my time is split between 2 classes: Writing for the Bar and a Deposition Practicum.

7 Tips on Surviving Finals

November 19, 2018 - Nikki Quintana

Can you feel the excitement in the air? It’s that time of year again and not the one with

the big tree and Santa. It’s FINALS!

 

We are entering the final countdown of our first semester. Reflecting on this, I began

to think about my goals going into the next two weeks and something helpful I could write for

this week so I thought I would do a countdown; here are the seven ways I recommend keeping

your sanity throughout finals.

 

1. Sleep, Somehow.

Ah, Failure…My Old Friend

November 9, 2018 - Nikki Quintana

I remember getting into Law School and being so proud of myself. It was the culmination of years of work toward an unknown goal and months of internal struggle to achieve a known goal. I would remind myself (in the moment) that I should enjoy the feeling of accomplishment and pride because sooner or later the reality of the situation would set in and that old familiar feeling of failure would rear its ugly head.

My first blog!

October 18, 2018 - Vrinda Gandhi

I always thought it was cliche when my friends would tell me, “three years will go by so fast and you won’t even know it.” I didn’t believe it - how could three years of something dreary like LAW SCHOOL pass by so quickly? Well, they did and I’m a semester away from graduation. Law school hasn’t exactly been what I carved it out to be. I thought it was going to be much more cut-throat, my colleagues would be competitive, and my professors would be mundane.

The Jitters by Ben Monaghan

September 4, 2016 - Anonymous

     It’s the night before the first day of the semester. This being my second year, I feel tolerably well prepared, considering the last minute scramble with a class change and the general difficulties of getting back into the rhythm of studying. And yet, despite the fact that there’s not likely going to be anything that will sink my semester tomorrow, I’m still nervous. What gives?

Joy in an Unknown Future

Hello again – fellow lovers of the law! As a glorious summer ends, my classmates and I have flocked back from our adventures and once again gathered here for what we love most… learning! I’ve survived the first 8 days of my 3L year, and have got to say that I am happy to once again be surrounded by such intelligent, creative, and imaginative people.

Round Two by Ben Monaghan

August 11, 2016 - Anonymous

 

            And we’re back! Ok, technically we’re not back yet, as school doesn’t start until Monday. And technically I don’t know who “we” includes. For all I know, I’m the only one from my class willing to subject myself to more of this law school thing. So really the only word we know for sure from that first sentence is “And”, which wasn’t even used correctly! Am I starting to sound like a lawyer yet? Good!!!
