    The Migraine

    12/05/22 if you’ve never had a migraine, just know that you are one of God’s favorites. I’ve been getting migraines since probably high school, and they are so painful and debilitating and I truly envy anyone who has never had one. if I was offered world peace or the promise of never getting a migraine…

    The Game

    12/03/22 I’m a day behind so I’ll have to make two posts today – but yesterday was non-stop from start to finish. I wake up for work around 6am, and yesterday I was out the door early because I decided to take Zoey to doggy daycare. so I dropped her off around 7:30am and then…

    The New Guy

    12/01/22 I got to meet the new coworker today, and small world – I already knew him! he was a year ahead of me in law school, and during law school I had a job as a Dean’s Research Fellow. my title was student researcher and he was the project manager, so technically he was…

    The Coworkers

    11/30/22 I feel incredibly young at my job. I work under the umbrella of the research division, but that division is split up into smaller subsets. my particular subset is the Office of Sponsored Project Administration, which is then further split into more groups. so, really, I work in the Contracts and Industry Agreements (yes,…

    The Job

    11/29/22 I think if I told my past self what job I have now, my past self probably wouldn’t believe me. I have known I wanted to go to law school since probably high school. my mom is a career-prosecutor, so I think I naturally just gravitated to criminal law. I interned at two different…

    The Move

    11/28/22 I did not want to move out. at least not yet, that is – it’s not like it was my life’s dream to fulfill the “35 years old and living in my mom’s basement” trope. but after I graduated college, I moved back home for law school, and I loved it. I was –…

    The Visit

    11/27/22 it seems a shame to me that friendships get harder to maintain as we get older. when we’re in grade school we see the same people all day everyday, and during college we live in the same five-mile radius as all our friends. in no world would I want to go back to law…

    The Sun

    11/26/22 for the past 5 or so days, it has been cold, wet, gray, and just kind of miserable. like not even fully raining, just kind of damp and spitting and unpleasant. but today the sun finally came out! which is a huge relief as daylight savings time is truly the bane of my existence.…

    The Heart

    11/25/22 I think one of the weird things about being in your 20s is the varying degrees of relationships the people around you can be in (or maybe this is a lifelong thing, I don’t know). I have friends who are single like me, friends in situationships, friends in years-long committed relationships, friends who are…

    The Point

    11/24/22 in the span of roughly six weeks, so much of my life has changed. I’m 25 years old, graduated from law school in May, took the bar in July, and since then pretty much everything has been a rollercoaster. on October 12, 2022, I found out I passed the Texas Bar Exam (arguably one…
