What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? Once upon a time back when law school brochures still came in the mail I almost became a lawyer. I aced the LSAT, got into several fine institutions, and even worked at the Department of Justice. I […]
Apparently, the LSAT is back in vogue. In September 2024, about 18,811 people registered to take it. Fast forward one year, and 32,170 brave souls signed up in September 2025. That’s a jump big enough to make you wonder: are we entering a new Age of the Lawyer? […]
There are exactly 76 days left in the year. Seventy-six! That’s just enough time to panic, make a resolution to not panic, and then decide to do something new instead. I’ve been thinking. What if, rather than waiting for January 1st to reboot our lives, we start the […]
What’s your #1 priority tomorrow? Ah, Sunday. The day I solemnly swear to “sleep in,” only to find myself wide awake at 6:42 a.m., staring at the ceiling like it owes me rent money. My brain, ever the overachiever, is already conducting a preemptive staff meeting about the […]

First impressions matter. That’s what they always say in job interviews, on first dates, and in those nerve-racking “meet the parents” dinners. But rarely do first impressions come with 60,000 people watching in real time and millions more tuned in at home, hoping you don’t choke under pressure. […]
So, there I was, deep in the trenches of paperwork and endless Zoom calls, when I looked up from my laptop and realized something. There it was. To the right of my keyboard, peeking out from behind a folder like a guilty party caught mid-scheme: a salt shaker […]
We are supposedly in the last week of summer. But let’s be real, it’s not actually the last week. The sun hasn’t signed off yet. The weather app is still screaming UV index 9. The sandals still have one more lap in them. And yet the vibe says […]
Some say Mondays are the worst. But Tuesdays? Tuesdays are sneakier. They lull you into thinking the week has begun, that you’re already mid-stream… when really, you’re still paddling in circles with coffee that isn’t quite strong enough and eyelids that are on strike. Today, I am operating […]
