          The fifth of May has arrived, which means that it is my first Cinco de Mayo in Boston. Here in the United States it’s a time to celebrate Mexican heritage, among other things. While most of us will be inside studying for our last week of exams instead of drinking [...]

Networking

April 19, 2013 at 5:32 pm

Networking. Networking. The working of nets. Say it so many times the word loses shape in your mouth. It’s hard to conceive of how important networking actually is. From gathering information to one day garnering potential job leads, who you know is crucial. You have built-in colleagues in your peers and classmates, and maybe a [...]

April 15, 2013 at 2:18 pm

This week I had my 1L appellate moot court oral argument, and I also volunteered as a ‘witness’ for a friend’s clinic mock trial. Today’s blog will compare the two experiences. First, this week marked the much anticipated final assignment for the 1L writing program: the appellate oral argument. My argument concerned whether evidence of [...]

It’s that time of the year again. Spring training is over and the regular baseball season has begun. The Boston Red Sox are off to a great start with two big wins in New York against the Yankees. No matter what team you root for, the greatest thing about America’s pastime is the sense of [...]

The House of Knowledge

April 4, 2013 at 2:09 pm

Everyone who goes to BU Law knows about the construction that is going on around the law school. Thanks to a very large donation made by Sumner Redstone, what is now a rather vertically-oriented tower is expanding horizontally to include additional classrooms, study space, and much more. Our school is growing, and every time I [...]

BU Law Alumni

March 26, 2013 at 12:35 am

Springing Forward

March 10, 2013 at 1:49 pm

580 Commonwealth Avenue Spring is in the air here in Boston. This year the groundhog told us that spring would come early, and I believe he was right. It may be over a week before the season officially begins, but it is already starting to feel like springtime in the city. The month of March [...]

Brewing Success

March 9, 2013 at 10:33 pm

Boston is known for many things. It is a city filled with stories and historic landmarks everywhere you turn. I knew it would be a great place to live before I moved here and that there would always be something new to see or do. What I didn’t know was how much passion Bostonians had [...]

Dyeing To Fit In

March 7, 2013 at 5:10 pm

Every time I told myself ‘No more after this, this has got to stop before law school.‘ The bad habit I struggled to quit? Dying my hair fanciful colors. (The title was a horrible pun and I apologize.) I had been dying my hair various hues of purple for years. I liked the subtle little [...]

The Week After Follies

March 7, 2013 at 2:37 pm
