I asked what the WORST thing that could happen if we canceled student loans and all I got was a bunch of people that would essentially “feel upset” because they paid theirs
My brother is single and I don’t want to hear about it from my parents anymore so here’s an ad:
25, 6,4”, business degree from UConn, business job at HelloFresh in NYC, likes dogs, and will inherit the family estate in upstate NY
My other brother is also single but he’s the middle child so no one cares:
28, 5’10”, computer degree from RIT, computer job with gov clearance, likes dogs, and will not inherit the family estate in upstate NY
Lots of questions but I thought it was normal to not know details about your siblings—in my head, they’re still annoying little brothers that I yell “GET OUT OF MY ROOM” at
Me, as an attorney: it's so annoying when people ignore my professional advice, like why did you even ask me
Me, to my doctor: yeah ok thank u, but I will not be changing my life shortening habits
Just hired an attorney and she asked if it was ok to work 8-4 so she can get her kids, and when I expected her to come back [in the evening]. GIRL, THE NEXT DAY
I used to romanticize the lady lawyer rushing around the city with a big bag, heels, coffee and phone in hand. I romanticized poor time management, feet/shoulder pain, burnout, sleep deprivation and the inability to unplug
My parents secretly asked my brother if I had a health issue I was hiding from them. Why? Because I’ve been snacking a lot. Why have I been snacking a lot? I have been stoned. Why have I been stoned? I am at home with my parents
Me: why don’t people listen to legal advice from lawyers
Doctors: you need a full x-ray and most likely a cast on your hand
Me: how long can I raw dog this situation before I lose this hand
Marketing just tried to convince me to put my headshot into my email signatures and I had to explain why in a field (litigation) where I’m already being taken less seriously due to gender, age, and ethnicity, it would be a bad idea to also display how pretty I am (yeah, I said
Prenup is love. You love that person so much that if fate separates you later, you want them to move on in the most loving way. It’s like a time capsule of the love you have for them on the day of your marriage
Habba attacking the judge: But I was told to sit down today. I was yelled at and I've had a judge who is unhinged slamming a table. I don’t tolerate that in my life, I’m not going to tolerate it here
Called your attorney 10+ times between 9-930 AM? Don’t wait! Try calling a few more times. They’re definitely available and just ignoring you. Follow me for more hacks
Advice to law students and students thinking about law school: start keeping a list of every place you've lived and worked since you were 18. It will save you years down the line when applying for the bar
Don’t cancel me but I fully support cold calling in law school…one time I got cold called and I put on a great production of struggling to pronounce “Bristol Myers Squibb” to get the professor to move on because I didn’t do the reading. Girlboss, gaslight, manipulate—essential
New lawyers interviewing for jobs, here are some tips. Please add
#lawtwitter
“We’re like a family here” = we will disrespect your boundaries and you will be here more than you think
“Fast paced environment” = management is not great and we’re always being chased by deadlines
Immigrant parents: you must study well and you must build a high paying career
*becomes lawyers and doctors*
Immigrant parents: what is with all the working?
Look, you may not like Travis Kelce but after dating a bunch of moody broody gloomy skinny British boys, Taylor deserves a big big dumb dumb golden retriever (he literally retrieves balls)
Most meetings can be a Zoom call. Most Zoom calls can be a phone call. Most phone calls can be an email. Most emails can be a text. Most texts can stay as a thought in your own head

Beloved, I don’t know if it’s all that hate in your heart, unfortunate genetics and/or lack of sunscreen but looking the way you do at twenty-seven (27) is so sad. My condolences
Travis Kelce loving Love Is Blind is important because it means at least one of these is true:
1. Taylor Swift watches Love Is Blind.
2. Taylor makes Travis watch Love Is Blind with her and he is kind and supportive.
3. Travis watches Love Is Blind alone while Taylor is busy.
Having big dick energy can be the difference between passing and failing the bar. Stop doubting yourself girlie. Is mediocre Matt from your law school class doubting his bare minimum efforts?
Advice to 1Ls going to a lower ranked law school/have a non-traditional path—get good grades if you can, but most importantly, network in creative ways.
I worked at a local luxury gym and all my personal training clients were established attorneys. Those relationships got me
An attorney at my firm just helped an elderly woman negotiate a $29K home service bill to $0. We should all use our comma Esq. signature powers for good—it works
Throwing law students/young attorneys into the water and hoping they swim is detrimental to clients. The fear of asking for help often lead to mistakes. I’d rather a “coddled” lawyer handle my case than an arrogant one
Stop coddling law students. Being a lawyer is not about you. It is about your clients. Stop reinforcing this weird weakness and treating these would-be professionals like infants. One day soon they'll be responsible for people's freedom, parental rights, money. This is sad.
You know when you have a tiny zit and you manage to make it 100x worse by messing with it? That’s what happens when you try to change one little tiny thing on a Words Doc template. Just leave it
