    I always appreciate your positivity and optimism towards life. I started watching your channel in 2022. I watched you go to law school while I was studying for the LSAT and applying to schools. Now you're a lawyer, and I'm hearing back with acceptances and scholarships from law schools! Thank you for having a channel that's both entertaining and a great resource and source of inspiration for aspiring lawyers.

    I needed that real conversation. I'm 25, last semester of grad school and girl I feel dumber everyday 😂. Dumb isn't the right word, but incompetent? Out of my league? Forgetful and immature? Yea those are close. I just don't want to be laid off. I have a big fear of failure, but I know it has to happen in order to level up in life. Here's to a great transformative year for us all. Cheers

    I'm in awe of you, working in big law, caring for your senior cat, running a UA-cam channel and still making time to have fun and take care of your health! You are just amazing, I hope you make sure to make time to relax and for self care. Glad to hear that you got your sleeping issues sorted too people seem to forget how important sleep is for your health. You also seem to have a healthy mind set about not pressuring yourself to be perfect at work you are just learning and it's great that you are embracing that.

    Book Recommendations: (my favorite books right now)
    -Strange the Dreamer (!!!) by Lani Taylor
    -The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
    -Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
    -Legendborn by Tracy Deonn (fantasy novel where the main protagonist is a black girl! Which is depressingly kind of rare)

    Your videos are so inspirational to me. I have been wanting to go to law school for as long as I could remember, but I have had a very long academic journey and I'm finally completing my last semester of undergrad. I really enjoy seeing you grow and your positivity helps me keep going. I know that because you can do it, then that means I can do it too

    Thank you so much for giving a new perspective on big law. Every single big law attorney video/insight I have seen has been completely negative. The stigma toward it is never positive! It's hard to believe that's the reality. So I want to say thank you!!

    A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Kite Runner both destroyed me in the best way. They are great books. I would recommend The Book Thief. Different subject matter, but one of my faves, i love it. Congrats on the accomplishments! I'm in my 2nd semester of 1L and it is so encouraging to see you going through experiences i cannot wait to have myself. All my love and I'm so happy that you are going back home this year. Should be a formative experience to see it with adult eyes for the first time.

    Business and tax law is so much more intense than any other kind of law to me. And I've done litigation. IP Bixby tags. I hate signature package because it's hard to wrangle all of the investors and have all of the agreements, right? It's just so much Sometimes and the deadlines always move here they are next week whenever

    Thank you for feeding us 🤎 and I agree a lot of the conflicts in books could be solved if they had any women in them or if they bothered to listen to the women but these authors love to stretch a short story into a feature length novel 🙄 like.. it’s time to wrap it up 🤨😂

    When i was a full time administrator i used to crack up all the time at how I, a 17 year old, was telling full grown engineers and architects what they could and couldn't do. The BEEF i would have with some full grown men because I knew too much about what I was talking about. Used to have me cracking up at 3pm on a tuesday.
