every ASW, when I said my college, students thought I meant the T10 LAC that is in the same city. after awhile I just stopped correcting people lol
Same exact thing happens to me every time haha. I wonder if we're talking about the same schools.

Oh no they know. I am just going to a different city than most of my college friends. So like I can "share" it online or on snapchat, but its not the same as living in the same dorm/on tbe same campus for 4 years. So its graduation feelz mostly.

Some people have asked me when school starts because they think that law school operates outside of the August - May school terms of all the universities and colleges in the area (some that they attend) lol

Just waited for an hour at a chicken restaurant for a to go meal because the server accidentally gave my food to another person. I wasn't even mad though. The girl who took my food made out like a fat rat. She knew good and well she didn't order that much chicken :lol: plus, I didn't have anything else to do since I had already finished work and don't have to study for anything anymore lol so it was chill

Honestly, truly to the bolded part. I really want to do public interest work but I really don't want to live a public interest work life salary-wise. So torn.

Also, yeah I'm glad I get to start soon but I'm also like "Ahhhh idk wtf to expect" lol
