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 […]

Figures.
So. Short story. I decided to quit law school. Went on a 2 day applying for jobs blitz, revamped my resume, cover letter, etc., and then decided to stay in school. I sent an e-mail to my family saying that I promise to just stay in school and quit complaining about it. This was 2 […]
& it feels SO good.
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 […]

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 […]
Taylor Momsen said WHAT?!
So apparently, 17 year old girls these days are watching porn. How do I know this?Well – Ms. Taylor Momsen, of Gossip Girl fame (and also, she the lead singer of a band called The Pretty Reckless, which is actually pretty good) announced it during an interview with Revolver magazine. Additionally, she informed them (and […]
Woah woah woa
So here I am, spending my Thursday night babysitting my younger cousins while their parents are in NYC. In all fairness, they are both working while there (My uncle is cooking at the James Beard House and my aunt took in a class or two). But the horrific thing is this – the TV isn’t […]
33 Saved.
So the 33rd Chilean miner just came out of the mine. I literally got chills. Yes, there are 5 rescue workers still down there, but these 33rd have been through hell. One of them had never been in a mine before (he’s a hydraulic engineer) and was only in there that day to fix an […]
Miner #21
So as the entire world watches with baited breath as the 33 Chilean miners are pulled from their home of 69 days [EDIT: IT’S 1/2 MILE!, MY BAD!]2 miles underground, I was particularly anxious to see the “homecoming” of miner #21. This particular man is married. This particular man also has a mistress. And this […]
