I use to say, “I want it all.” Now, I just want what’s for me 💛. That’s enough✨

I came to work so early that all the lights were off & nobody was here. I thought no one was coming in 😂.

Most of the time at least 1 person is here, regardless of the time. They’ve all come in now so I don’t have to think irrationally anymore.

@KenyabemyLawyer Bar prep kicking my butt, but I’m fighting back 😂! Had a small win today with MBEs, so I’m grateful for progress!

Thank you for your support, always!

Check on your friends studying for the bar. It can be so lonely without support. Make sure they’ve eaten & ask them if they need anything ❤️

My first co-authored blog for my Group was posted by the firm today ☺️.

May be small to others but I’m grateful for the opportunity 🙏🏾.

I’m really making graduation and bar exam preparations. 🥺🤧

[Becoming Carletta Esq. @LegalBestie]

@heyitsryankeith Me too friend, one gotta go lol

[Bryan H. @X_BryanH]

Establishing boundaries for yourself is important too. Sometimes you have to tell yourself, “that’s not my place.”

Praying for my partner as she gets ready to take her board exam tomorrow.

She’s the smartest person I know. If anyone can get it done, it’s her.

Go honey ❤️🙏🏾

Also, I’m taking Trial Advocacy this semester, should I ever want to litigate ( hopefully not 😂)

We did closing arguments last night & I really surprised myself ( and my professor too).I have a longgggg way to go but I’ve definitely made strides to getting better.

[Becoming Carletta Esq. @LegalBestie]

I worked nearly 30 hrs this week.

I did a 500+ page doc review, an employment contract, wrote my very first blog for the group & got to sit in on a deposition.

I’m EXHAUSTED, but proud that I made it through the week & learned new things.

It really feels like all law offices should have a mandatory snack and caffeine budget
