Over the past few days, many BU Law students made the trip back to their hometowns to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends and family. For myself and many other 1Ls, Thanksgiving break was the first time back home since leaving for Boston in late August. For me at least, getting away from law school was just [...]

We all remember our undergraduate experiences. For some, being an undergrad seems like a distant memory. For others, the years in college are still fresh in their minds. In my section there are individuals who earned their degrees, both bachelor’s and master’s, from universities all across the country. Each of us represent our schools while [...]

It’s Thanksgiving. It is a time for traveling, a time for enjoying a nice meal, and above all a time for giving thanks. The streets of Boston may be empty, but soon enough many of us will gather around our televisions to watch as 77th Street and Central Park West in New York City come [...]

The Spartan Race comes to Boston starting tomorrow, and I am more than excited to be able to take part in the event. Not only because it’s taking place inside Fenway Park (which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year), but also because it entails overcoming an intense obstacle course that pushes participants to their [...]

The Division of Unemployment Assistance’s (“DUA”) Boston office is unnecessarily intimidating. When you walk in, a police officer behind the desk instructs you to provide photo ID, which they check, and then they hand you a guest badge. You’re pushed through a metal detector and your bag goes on a conveyor belt through a scanner. [...]

Seeing as this is my first official post, I figure it’s only polite to introduce myself. By now, you already know that I’m a 2L at BU Law. And that I grew up in Washington state and went to Cal (go bears!). But, that’s just part of the story. You should also know I took [...]

In this first blog, I’d like to give you an idea of who I am, how my perspective might be unique, and how I ended up at BU law school. 1. Who am I? Oh great, an existential question. Well, my resume reads something like this: I graduated from Smith College in 2010, then worked [...]

It’s here; that final autumn. For the past two years, I’ve been trapped in an ivory tower and yet, in a few short months, I’ll be shipped off with my freshly pressed shirt, polished shoes, and leather briefcase. But for now, I sit. In class. In the Public Interest Project Office. In meetings. The old [...]

My 1L class is turning out to have a lot in common with each other, beyond the obvious series of life choices that somehow led us to law school. We’re intellectually curious, we’re hard workers, we’re excited to be here… and we’re terrified that we’re doing it wrong. It’s hard to shake the feeling that [...]

Starting 1L year is like jumping in the deep end of a pool. There’s no easing in slowly, no time to get acclimated; you’re submerged almost as soon as you enter the classroom. Inevitably, you spend a few days flailing around. Soon, you learn to tread water. Eventually, you’re back on your feet. My name [...]
