In my pre-law student days, I used to go get a pedicure at least once a month and had the freedom and ambition to paint my finger nails on an as-needed basis (once a week or so). Now, I’m too poor to get pedicures and can’t justify the time it takes to paint my finger […]

Things More Interesting Than Homework
I tend to be a procrastinator. But not just your ordinary, ho-hum procrastinator. Oh no. I am pretty much the World Champ of Procrastinating. In fact, as I write this, I should be doing homework for my class later this afternoon. But I’m not. And I obviously didn’t do it last night. Why? Because I […]
Happy Halloween!
First of all – Happy Halloween! Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it. – Mean Girls My boyfriend went to a party at a bar last night in Boston, which is known for being a complete shit-show, with […]
I’m predicting my next addiction.
Apparently, the New York Times is going to be devoting a reporter to a new beat: covering the notoriously elite prep schools in NYC. And all I can say is – ABOUT TIME! I pretty much live for all things glitz and glamor – and I’m talking old school, East Coast, prep. Not any of […]
This is absolutely impossible… right?
According to an article I just read on Gawker, with supporting evidence provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and an article in The Chronicle of Higher Education by Richard Vedder, approximately 17 million individuals in the United States hold a bachelor’s degree, but do jobs that do not require a such a high “level […]

Tonight I miraculously have no homework. Not because there is actually no homework, but because I am procrastinating on my memo. Oh well. So – for the first time in a LONG time, I am going to watch the NBC Thursday Night lineup on Thursday nigh! The end.
Utopia … Orrrr not.
I am in the process of writing my first ever law school memo. It’s torture. It’s making me want to stab myself in the eye with a rusty nail (… ouch). It is completely and totally one of the most uninteresting things I have ever written. After 8 weeks of researching, drafting in small little […]
Quitting Cold Turkey.
I never understood why people couldn’t do things like quit smoking. It can’t be that hard – right? You know it’s bad for you. You know there’s no benefit. So just … stop. Well. As it turns out, I am stuck in a similar (although less harmful to my health) position. I believe my law […]
… blue books can bite me.
In the world of law school there are is a 2 word term that strikes fear into the heart of every student. “Blue Book”. Now, “blue book” actually has 2 meanings – both equally terrifying. 1) The book used to write exam answers in, which has a blue cover. 2) The official citation guide, for […]
