TLS c/o 2020 - In #Squad We Trust Forum

[NotAGolfer]

I feel like Keliz putting the whole FB thing together should qualify as a strong soft.

LOL I send an updated resume:

"Developed strong, close-knit community of legal-minded students in social forum, allowing members to develop relationships and discuss pertinent and evolving legal processes."

YASSS

Wait... What's so special about your #? lol

It's almost a perfect combination of my past two ID #s combined haha

I still haven't memorized mine.

I should probably get my life together lol

Having so much trouble focusing on work rn...

[+] Spoiler

Also, had a fun little debate with myself: "do I post to TLS or the FB group to help me procrastinate?" TLS won out mostly because I need to get my post count up

This! TLS is not as active now but I need a few more poasts lol. Facebook friends, come back to TTTLS plz

[dyebri]

yale

retake

the obvious answer for someone who isn't a dumb is SLS.

Do you really feel that you would choose sls over hls

[sittykitty]

I can tell who did undergraduate mock trial in the FB group b/c all our mutual friends are the same choice individuals

I'm going to force myself to post here at least until I reach 500. I'm so embarrassed by my lack of flair

That's exactly what I'm doing. LOL when all of TLS is just conversations between us.

Since y'all want to bring life back to TLS: Anybody have any thoughts on whether or not taking out an additional $5-6k matters in the grand scheme of soul-crushing debt? (I'm probably looking at around $200k )

I think it depends on how comfortable it makes you. If it's gonna help you get better grades by being closer to campus or something, I think it's 100% worth it.

Eh, it'll primarily be extra money or money I save for if I decide I want to live alone 2L and end up liking somewhere that costs more than we're allowed and don't get a 1L summer firm job so don't have extra money lying around.

Edit: at this point, my comfort is gone. $200k is a lot lol. It's more of like a "Does it make sense to take it all out?"/"Will it really be that much more debt if I do take it out?"

I suppose I could play around with a debt calculator and see what it looks like with interest.

In the grand scheme of things? Probably not. Are you talking about over the three years or each year?

The advice I've gotten from friends is take out only the amount you need, because you'll probably spend 100% of what you take out.

I've been debating this as well and I have a very nerdy and detailed spreadsheet trying to figure out the minimum I need while still being comfortable. I don't think there's an easy answer lol

Yeah I think the debt calculator is a good idea. Didn't Mich say we can take out more throughout the year if we need it though? I think I remember hearing that during the financial aid session

I think you can if you only request disbursement for one semester at a time... I'm not sure about if you just do the whole year.

Right now, I'm just referring to for 1L.
I fully intend to put the extra I don't really need in a savings acct.... but who knows how that'll go lol

[thatlawlkid]

looking at 200k myself. Idk, depending on what its for of course you can justify it. But then again, look at 6k financed over 10 years at 7.5% and think about all the other fun stuff you could do with that

[baseballfan660]

Late to the party and more of a lurker, but if anyone wants my instagram feel free, to hop into my private messages and ask. If you like cake or funny throwback pictures you should def follow me.

Yeah I'll have to do some calculating and see what the post-interest rate differences are.

Follow me @chandhi and I'll follow back! Will also aggressively support your law school posts with likes and comments

Oh damn. This is basically how my whole resume reads.

OK time to make an embarrassing confession since we're obviously so comfortable with each other now.

A (very small, almost non-existent) part of the reason why I picked my school was because I really like the ID # they assigned me.

A really big completely existent part of me judged every school I visited by the types of food on campus and within short walking distance. I have standards that go beyond employment outcomes.

Oh I'll admit to that with no shame. I chose my school because I need more cheese curds in my life

Same. I need tacos and seafood within walking distance.

I def judge too much on the schools graphic design, especially if I've never been to the school. Like what their logo and website is like and how much everything matches on their communications.

I definitely did some research on which school has the nicest sweatshirts/attire before I committed
