Dear Future 1L
Dear Future 1L, I write to you today to recount a reality often experienced but very underestimated and a tale often embellished. If I can give you any riveting advice it would be: don't answer the phone while driving unless you think it may be a law school acceptance call; then YOU MUST definitely answer the phone and pull over. For the call, you’ll need three things: a laptop/notepad, a seat, and food and drink. Don't call back till you have all three. You are about to embark on a journey people dream about and you don't have the stamina to just take that news lightly.

Life After Death
Bottomless tequila shots, guilt-free hangovers, and less contact hours than Kim K and her baby. What's not to love about university? Ok, so the deadlines are deadly, and pesto pasta is beginning to lose its charm, but it still beats working nine-to-five, as Dolly Parton would say.

Maternity Leave for Self-Employed Women…
Women decide to go self-employed for a multitude of reasons, but one of the big ones is family. At the end of the day, being self-employed offers you a level of flexibility that full or part-time employment just can't compete with. Rather than having to make childcare fit around rigid working hours, being self-employed means you can fit your work around childcare and, straight away, this makes being a working mum 100 times simpler.

Dear Students, Listen Up
One of the things I regret the most is coasting through part of middle school and all through high school. Putting in a little effort but not fully applying myself. I was homeschooled online, basically had to teach math to myself because there is only so much a teacher can do via live video and over the phone. I did very well in science and language arts/English though I will admit my grammar needs a tune up. Math, I suffered, or more like report card did. I could have tried harder; I didn’t apply myself like I should have. I was so afraid of my teachers because I remembered what it was like in public school where the teachers are often mean and don’t really treat you like you're human. I never really was subjected to public school teachers' wrath because I had been a good student. Now that I wasn’t, I was afraid that I’d finally get to experience that wrath. It took me until my senior year to get over that fear; turns out my teachers were awesome. My chemistry teacher was so patient with me and refused to get off the phone until I understood the topic at hand. I am still friends with my home room/biology teacher. I wish I had applied myself and gotten over that fear sooner. If I had, more than likely I wouldn’t have to take Math 023 as a college student. My math skills are so bad that I couldn’t even remember how to add fractions.

My Journey
"Chase your dream." That always sounded like a good idea when I heard it in inspirational movies or telling it to other people. But now that it's my turn, its daunting. However, I am determined. If I'm gonna do this I have to give it all that I've got.

Too Little, Too Much!
People always told me, you’re doing too many things at once, focus on one thing and do it the best you can instead of being average at a bunch of things. I believed it and that’s what I tried, one thing at a time. I dedicated my life to one talent or hobby months at a time. Trying out one thing after the.

The Life of a Short, Angry, Brutally Honest Line Cook
This industry sucks. I say that with all the love in the world. But as much as it may suck; where would all of us tattooed, pissed off pyromaniacs who need a place to swear work? None of us are happy but we wouldn't do anything else. We can come into work with no injuries and come home with four stitches, two burns and blisters the size of a cherry and still say it hasn't been a bad day.

Reminiscing
Looking back on my life, prior to the birth of my son. I reflect on the "what could have been's" at times. The "should have been's". And all the "what if's". I seldom catch myself thinking about the impacts I've made on people.
