I’m 23 and in law school and still don’t know what I’m doing in life, but I’m hoping to figure it out bit by bit. If you want, come and join me on the ride! I’d love to have you :)
We all appreciate your generosity in posting these blogs!! How did you fare in the LSAT (if you are happy to share), and how do you find the competition at HLS? I wish you the best as COVID times continue to sweep universities all across the USA!! Your Southwest-Style salad looks amazing.
Hi Ivan! So sorry for the late reply. My LSAT score was competitive the second time I took it, but definitely not the first. Competition at HLS specifically is as much or as little as you want it to be :) if helpful, I’d be happy to elaborate more in a future video!
Fun trip, Miami is beautiful!!! Love your content guys, subscribing to your channel for future content! check our channel also :) Greetings from Mexico!
Great vlog! I love Miami, the food, the people, and the scenery- such a wonderful get away. Eric please do not stop being a romantic, there are too few of us left. Glad you guys were able to do this, sometimes this is exactly what is needed to keep our life balance and sanity. Have a wonderful week!
Apologies in advance for the long comment. I’m headed to HLS this fall after deferring a year. Recently, a friend asked me if I watch vlogs from HLS students. I told her no, they usually just stress me out. Other people have been asking me about XYZ specificities of my move. I have so much fear about moving to Boston and about law school, so I’ve been avoiding anything related to life at HLS like the plague (yay avoidance). Your video happened to pop up and I just clicked it to give it a try and I was so so so pleasantly surprised. It sounds dumb but I feel so much more receptive to law school now. Your honesty and vulnerability are SO refreshing and compelling; the work-life balance, prioritization of food and rest, and gentleness with how you explain your day and your intentionally lighter schedule are all things I want to prioritize in law school. This video was so calming and wonderful and I just want to give you a huge kudos for it. Can’t wait to stalk through your page and watch the next one!!! (btw love your texas sweatshirt, i’m a ut grad 🤘🏼) (also was it that video of the guy explaining zero knowledge proofs for different ages?)
First, oh my gosh this is so sweet! And second, never, ever apologize for anything you don't need to apologize for, and third, huge congrats! I hear you-I felt the exact same about law school and moving up here, and it was definitely a learning curve getting to this point. Law school can be a lot and easily overwhelming, so I think the key is definitely taking it day by day and focusing on doing what makes you happy! This is still something I'm continually working on, and it's something I think will be a forever process. Also, HUGE HOOK 'EM, I'm a longhorn too!! So excited for you- let me know if you ever need help with anything/just want a friendly ear or face, and know that you already have a friend here :)
More flexible life and gained self accountability. I believe in self taught is more enriching with an ear to ask a question to a professor. I enjoy these videos so much! They are golden
do you recommend buying the main textbooks required for your 1 L classes digitally for Amazon kindle? Do you save a bit by doing so over if you buy the used textbooks? Cheers from Texas!
Hi Ivan, I think it's heavily dependent on personal preference, but I find that buying or renting the physical copy is much easier for highlighting/underlining. I know my coop allows us to highlight and mark up rental books for no fee, so I would check if you're allowed to do that as well. I'm unsure about how much you save by buying digital-I've only done it once! Sending all the good vibes back to TX!
So glad you enjoyed, Rebecca! I'll try to keep making more of this type of content. Thank you for watching and commenting-I'm so glad to have been able to share this day with you!
Thank you Jennifer! I really enjoyed the vlog. I am currently in a Masters programm for linguistigs here in Switzerland, but I also work at a translation agency specialized in legal work. I liked listening to you while writing some papers for my linguistic courses (Algonquian-languages and Mapudungun). Have a nice day!
@@jennliu98 it is a blessing, but having grown up here, I don't know much else, so I am grateful for travel and now during the pandemic to people all over the world for sharing about their life.
hi maam pls do a vlog how are you able to get accepted in law school... hw much is the tuition fee, or any scholarships available, thank youfor inspiring us :)
Hi! That is a great idea and will put that on the short list of ideas for sure, and thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment-I really appreciate it!
This is so so sweet-you just made my entire day! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, and I'm so glad the videos can bring you some comfort. Viewers like you and comments like these make making these videos all worth it!
Call mom and dad while walking isn’t a baby😂😂😂😂!!!!!!!!!! It’s really nice to share trifle stuff to parents. Btw, the background music compared with your speaking is tooooo loud. Lol. It might be better to control the music and speaking in the same Voice. (Hope my suggestion is clear and not offend 😥 I’m not sure my grammar is correct.)
Aw thank you Emily! I appreciate the comment-it's super helpful and I'll be sure to keep that in mind for future videos! Thank you for taking the time to watch and give feedback, it means a lot!
Well thanks for sharing your law journey in this vlog. It was interesting. I'm glad you are able to manage classes according to your happiness level. As you showed that you limited classes to 2 that day. Is it that stressful since you did limit it? That pasta came out really good. Looked delicious. Sending best wishes for peaceful living.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Sal! Last semester I was pretty overwhelmed and wasn't able to devote the right amount of time to my classes that they deserved. Two per day is usually typical for law school-it's really the credit hours that matter the most! I'm hoping that this semester I'll be able to really enjoy going to class and learning the material.
OH MY GOD!! I don’t know if you remember but over the break we had a phone call and you talked to me about your time at HLS! This is so crazy that you popped up on my recommendations. Thanks again for being so friendly!
Thank you for a great vlog! I love that you are such a sincere and genuine person! As someone who is in the process of studying for the lsat it is very nice to see such a nice person doing what I hope to do soon! Your pizza dough looked amazing - what recipe did you use? Hope you have a great week and I look forward to your future vlogs!! Cheers! 🥂 😁
Andy, your comment just made my entire day! I’m so glad you enjoyed the vlog. Best of luck with studying- it will all pay off in the end! Here’s the pizza dough recipe I used if you feel like taking a pizza break sometime too :) cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016230-robertas-pizza-dough?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share
