pro tip for 1Ls: the section symbol (§) is option+6. paragraph (¶) is option+7.

@shannonminter5 Maybe the juice of a can of tuna? (Even mixed with the baby food for some extra hydration.)

@shannonminter5 https://t.co/xnzqM12Htj these are essentially the same thing in a slightly bigger serving size!

@bethwilensky @LissaJoStewart There used to be an unwritten rule that Mountain Day couldn't be a Friday! It was always Tues-Thurs!

Someone referred to me today as a "capable and experienced attorney" today relating to work I really care about and that's going right into the "nice things people have said about me" email folder for sure!!

So fyi fun facts I called my student loan servicer because my bill was higher than https://t.co/LFKn1d2sST's estimate and their own payment schedule said it should be and they were like "oh how weird wonder how that could have happened" and now my bill is $900 less per month

Friends: am I too online

@gaybeascorpus I did the exact same thing and still passed!

[Rachel Czwartacky @rachel221]

@gaybeascorpus Also doing multiple essays in a sitting and realizing that 30 min per essay is optional helped. If I truly didn't know how to approach a question and knew staring at it wouldn't help, I'd jot down everything I could in like 10 min and spend extra time on the other essays.

[Rachel Czwartacky @rachel221]

@gaybeascorpus To get more practice on more MEE questions I made up my own exercise where I halved the time and just in 15 minutes tried to write bullet points on a post it note. That way I didn't invest time in doing essays when I just wanted to test my knowledge of the law and issue spotting.

Fundraising text from literally any local politician, to be clear. (Umich just calls me and asks for her name.)

[Rachel Czwartacky @rachel221]

In 2020 I gave the University of Michigan Hillel my phone number w my mom's name bc I HAD to give a parent's contact info to register for a Yom Kippur service and now whenever I get a fundraising text addressed to my mom at least I know who to thank for selling my personal info!

Help I just watched an episode of a TV show do a criminal trial where someone was found not guilty by reason of...asylum.

I want to be a positive person but what do they even talk about

[Rachel Czwartacky @rachel221]

One thing I love about Lyft is that time means absolutely nothing on this app like I've been waiting "1 minute" for 7 minutes and if you get stuck in traffic it doesn't predict a new time it just slowly inches your arrival time later and later in real time until you get there.

[Rachel Czwartacky @rachel221]

Tab stops would also not hurt.

[Rachel Czwartacky @rachel221]

Once again not a joke but a real thing that will improve your life and the lives of those around you, in addition to your documents.

[Rachel Czwartacky @rachel221]

The most important thing you can do to prepare to practice law is learn to use styles in Microsoft Word I am NOT joking.

[Rachel Czwartacky @rachel221]

At least learn to use paragraph spacing instead of putting a manual return between every bullet point, I beg you.

[Rachel Czwartacky @rachel221]

I am now two for two on being the primary attorney on an immigration court case but having the court address the decision and all correspondence to some other attorney who has put in an appearance - what am I doing wrong here?

[Rachel Czwartacky @rachel221]

WHY DOES COURT HAVE SO MANY WEIRD FIDDLY THINGS TO DO
