Nicole diaries #2: I fucked up my dream of graduating top 1% honors.. but Ii hav

Basically after the incident i felt I could ace the material and that there was no point of school cuz I understood everything.( I could make a minus studying the night before /day of test)

But its biting my career options so I wish I dosnt let the ego get the best of me among other things.the incident was. A huge part of that bc before it happened I was a completely different person.

Oh well.

Real talk: you're a grown ass woman. Make your own life choices and don't let your parents derail you.

Too late for that ..wanted to do that but I didn't at the moment cuz if I did that, its kind of hard to pay a. 20k/yr cost of living on a minimum wage job which I would have needed to get if I stopped talking to my parents....

Doesnt matter. Sure top ten percent is enough to get the same 200k job kids from harvard get ...but thats isnt my goal.

I dont care about a 200k job..my greatest dream is to work for the department of justice or presidents office for lawyers...and that's much harder to get than getting into Chicago or coulmbia law which I wouldve had the gpa for if it was not for the life experience my dad forced me into against my own will. Literally changed me completely in a negative way.

But its whatever. While I still hope to be the best of the best in law school by being not top ten percent but top 5% which is what I would need to get to where I would have been if it were not for my dad,

im not gonna lose sleep over it bc at least I can still represent clients and argue in court and debate my heart away for my career <3

@Icey of course no one cares about memorizing ..some ppl just care about competing at tests in the same way athletes like to score touchdowns. Theres nothing wrong with either. I'm just being a good sport and not thinking about how my career chances might be less than I wanted cuz not bc of my own fault but bc of what my parents forced me to do when I was 20 /21

I'm.just focusing on the positives now which is that I can debate my heart out and study law which I like..and I'm.not saying I'm giving up either .I'm.saying I'm b ok if it doesnt work out cuz I just wanna do my best idgaf about anything else.

I'm still gonna b able to be an attorney and I still have a chance of getting into an elite school

But if I dont get into an elite school I can still become an attorney so no sir dance im not gonna change that...I will still represent clients and if even if I get a minus in law school regardless of which school i attend I have a shot at department of justice .

Yes icey the point of this post is that I will b happy with just doing my best even if I don't make top ten percent in law school.

Lmao @ sir dance saying I'm dependent on my parents.

Cuz I'm sure you depended on ur parents to pay cost of living unless us school was close to home ??

And yes I got full $$$ to attend somewhere else. And that was Cornell which I didn't wanna attend cuz they only let me study something there that wasnt my passion so...........

Stop being a hypocrite cuz I'm sure ur parents paid for ur living expenses and if They didn't , its bc college was cheap back then (yay for not living in my generation ) ...and if neither are correct than u can still shit ur mouth bc my parents arent merely paying for my degree, theye paying for me to get the grades that will get me into law school = ten thousand times return on investment

Rely on yourself. Do your best and work hard and don't be worrying about what someone else is doing.

Wait... Don't you strip for money?

Nicole you need someone new to support you. You need a sugar daddy who is just slightly older than you. More like a sugar brother....that gets to have rough sex round the clock. Yeah.

Sounds like you're one step closer to the pole.

People eventually reach the point of understanding that they can educate themselves, better than the school can.

But specific career objectives may mean staying in school.

The middle-class family exists to do harm, nothing else.

Remember that the A students wind up going into research while the B students wind up working for the C students and some of the most prolific millionaires/billionaires never finished college.

This student is going to be represent clients with no law school debt though :)

^^^ we can assist you in your goal of no debt! Do you prefer a pole that is stationary or one that spins? The $$$ We throw your way will spend all the same no matter what style of Spinning you choose. Lol

Nichole, yes you are having to make hard choices. All I can say is that pure careerism is not usually the best way.

And the purpose of the middle-class family is to break your wings and then try to make you forget that you ever had the chance of flying.

About Stanford, really interesting: amazon.com

Also, a lot of civil rights gains have been made by attorneys who were not these A students. Those with the greatest need for a lawyer will usually be those with the least ability to pay.

Good article about the need for bail reform, and about the darker side of pimps and bail bondsmen.

Umm lawyers represent clients ....sorry you didn't know the most fundamental component of what lawyers do sir dance.

"Your options do get increasingly constrained. The perversion is that in some ways the better you do in our meritocracy, the more you feel like you don't have a choice."
