That’s college + law. Probably about $16k from college, the rest from law school, when all is said and done it’ll be a number 2 with five other numbers behind it. I either need to make bank or work in legal aid for the next decade.
I commiserate. I do the crazy long commute too, and I’m also barely making ends meet. Have you ever read/listened to Dave Ramsey? He has a really great podcast where he answers financial/debt related questions, and it’s really helped me (ya girl has about a quarter million in student loans). Also, check out Upwork. There are some shady jobs, but most are legit, and they’re writing/editing/virtual assistant positions.
Yeah, I think you’re right. It’s been a long day, and some of the comments I saw earlier this week about dry weddings have really been festering with me.
This is the second time in a week I’ve seen people shitting on dry weddings, and I’m honest to God so disappointed in some of the commenters on this site, including Chev-er-ay’s take.
My boyfriend and I are both sober, and we anticipate getting married. My wedding is going to be a dry wedding. Alcohol almost killed me, it almost killed him, and I’ll be Goddamned if I’m expected to “be courteous” of others who drink and serve alcohol at my wedding. That day will be a celebration of each of our lives and our lives beginning together, and alcohol plays no role in that future. Why in the fucking world would I want a substance that was almost my downfall, as well as his, to be a part of one of the biggest, most important days of my life? Why would you want to celebrate a couple asking you for ONE NIGHT not to drink at an amazing moment in their lives by drinking? That’s so incredibly disrespectful. It’s one fucking night, people. If I can do it every single day, you can do it for one night, ESPECIALLY if that’s what’s being asked of you. And if you can’t? Don’t fucking go. If it’s honestly such a problem to you as a guest, and you’re going to go “take nips out in the parking lot” or gripe the whole time, don’t fucking go.
It’s a shame, really, that this is even a question or an issue. It doesn’t matter why someone is asking you not to drink at their wedding or why they’re having a dry wedding. It’s none of your business. If you can’t respect the wishes of someone who cares enough about you to invite you to your wedding, then maybe you don’t deserve their friendship.
I can say that there are ex’s I am on good terms with and wish nothing but the best for, but full blown “let’s go grab a bagel” friendship? Nah. That’s when you end up with Getting Back In The Game.
Perspective or prospective? If anyone is looking to a hire a perspective employee, drop a girl a line, I’ve got lots of perspective. I can also be prospective if you need me to be.
Yeah, coming from a legal perspective, I can shell out some long-ass hardworking days without taking anything so…I don’t know what to tell your friends. Do better?

I just…I need a cigarette and to think about life after reading that. Damn.

At least you’re getting regular exercise, though. That must be nice.
Much appreciated. Shouldn’t have picked a private law school. Or law school.

Then don’t. do. the. cha. cha. slide. No one is making you.

Pro tip from waitressing – slather yellow mustard on a burn right after it happens. I have no clue how it works, but it does.

Best of luck!!! Keep your blinders on, breathe in/out, and you’ve got this!
Whole-heartedly agree. Also, Mercury goes into retrograde for a month starting Friday, so brace yourself for that shitstorm.
He’s already in S.A. though, he wants to know if he should take a new job in Montreal because his schedule is slowly disintegrating his soul.
*puts on best Chris Farley as Matt Foley voice* DO NOT, TELL SOMEONE YOU LOVE THEM, UNTIL YOU ARE 100% SURE.
I feel this article on a spiritual level. I just want to be happy, be able to pay my bills, and have a little leftover.
May not be the most imaginative, but it’s damn sure to help you lose some weight.

We should throw a darty all around her apartment in The Homie’s honor.
Don’t do it.
