Hi, I’m a first year college student interested in law hoping to get some limited legal experience like shadowing an attorney or maybe there’s some sort other easy job in a law firm I don’t know about that you guys can tell me about. I don’t have any connections to anybody in the legal field, so how should I approach this? Email, if so, how should I ask? Call? Try and set up an in person meeting? Something else?

From Pennsylvania, not sure if it’s relevant, but I have to add it.

Basically what the title says! I am looking for somewhere that sells affordable but nice professional suits. I am in college, and will need these for next semester and beyond. If anybody knows anywhere to look, I’d appreciate it. Thanks!

Anybody know good affordable places that take walk ins for eyebrow maintenance in downtown state college? Open on weekends too, please! Thanks!

Title, but saw a bunch of people giving advice and thought it’d be easier this way :)

Title basically

Anybody else not get their dorm assignment yet? Or know what it means?

Okay so there was this group of girls that all weren’t friends and were all different personalities. One of them is new to town and says she can do magic. They all start using magic together. If I remember correctly one of the girls gets proposed to? They also steal from a boutique. The new girl is also evil and turned out to be like a hundred year old witch?

There’s also a side plot where there’s a cop and her sister was like hurt by the witch and went mute?

It was on Netflix, but I can’t find it anymore.

Thank you for reading!!

Incoming freshmen who wants to write notes on an iPad, just wondering what notetaking apps you guys think are the best?

Have you ever read a horrible College essay? Not talking bad quality, I mean an essay that makes the applicant seem horrible. I.e. using being caught cheating as a transformation or smth. Just wondering because a guy I know asked me to read his essay and I’m pretty sure he’s a psychopath!

Title, also for context I scheduled my classes late May.

I feel like I’m constantly re-reading the same stories because of just how good they are.. but I need some new ones!! Based off the iconic stories I love, please give me reccs! Or just reccomend me your faves that I don’t have listed as already having read. Thanks!!

Jaded Love
Galactic Games
The King of Sin
The Ruby Tiara
I married a Knight
I married a Millionare
The Dragon Bride
And Infamous when it was still up 💔

My class read this in library during 7th grade, so I’m assuming it’s a children’s/teens book, but yes the description I’m giving does not sound like it lol.

It was alternating POV going from a group of kids to a different person each time getting the virus?

One of the people I remember was a married father working in a meat factory and when killing a weird cow he got it and died??

I also remember the kids being chased by an alien or something and being in a graveyard.

I think maybe someone in their class got the virus and died and they were investigating it.

Anyways, thanks!

I read this in 5th or 6th grade and it was about a boy who moved to town and either his grandma or his friends grandma had died and she was presumed to have stolen money from a small town amusement park she worked at? I think embezzlement was talked about.

I also remember another character was the boys classmate that was a bully and we saw his home life was bad and he had lotssss of dangerous dogs?

The last scene I remember was the boys running away from the bully on bikes towards the amusement park.

I’m assuming this is a kid/teenager book as our whole class read it in library.

Title, + if anybody knows how I can see it too :)

Hi, going into college application season I was pretty naive about the cost of college. The people on here are insane and the cost of top colleges are insane as well. So, I wanna give some advice/tips/what to expect to people if their application is similar to mine (honestly very average compared to the people here💔).

Here’s are my stats for reference, also I am from the US:
Lower class, white female, first gen
4.3 gpa
1280 SAT (670 R/W and 610 Math)
5 on APUSH and AP Lit, 4 on WHAP
Awaiting 2 scores
Book club president
Did a summer program with a student from Stanford my sophomore year
National honor society
Spanish honor society
Moderated for an online group about reading (about 3000 people?)
Was in a few other low impact clubs like young lawyers, mock trial, volunteer clubs
Worked a part time job my junior and senior year
Low impact awards like AP scholar/other college board awards and student of the month twice
Essay about my passion for learning

I applied mostly in state, but a few places in New York! I was hopeful good aid, but even with good aid and scholarships a bunch of the college in NYC were still too expensive. I think Binghamton was $22 k, but unfortunately I still couldn’t afford that.

I got way better offers in state, and I’m going to Penn State (my state college) in the fall!

It ended up being $8359 for the first year.

Started at $36,000 - roughly $10,000 from FASFA, $12,000 from a scholarship directly from the college, $5000 from the FASFA loan, and $1000 from two local scholarships!

If you’re worried about the cost of college, here’s what I’d recommend:

Ask your counselor for the free applications code (I was able to apply to 15 schools for free!)

APPLY LOCALLY AND IN-STATE (have back-ups, ones you’d realistically go to and like if where you wanna go doesn’t work out. For example, I applied to a bunch of random local colleges, when I should’ve narrowed it down to 1-3 that I would’ve actually liked going to!)

Talk with your parents!!! (A lot of rich kids from my school with average stats couldn’t go where they wanted, because they couldn’t get any from FAFSA and couldn’t get scholarship, and WAYYY underestimated the cost of college.)

If you have a major like nursing or education (or another one where your college doesn’t matter much, as long as it’s accredited) I’d def recommend staying local. When you wanna be a teacher, compared to if you’re going for business where you might need more connections, it doesn’t really matter where you wanna go.

Consider community college and your states college, if you really wanna attend top schools but can’t afford it. I’ve also heard you can get way better scholarships through transferring this way!!

Consider if you even need to attend a top school, or if you can try and save money!! For example, I’m going pre-law and my friend is going pre-med (she got into some really good schools like northeastern and Michigan, etc, but ended up going somewhere else to save money). We both realized your grad school is way more important that your undergraduate degree!! Undergrad is a good time to save money.

Try and be realistic about your application. Personally, my gpa is pretty good but only some of my ecs are good. My SAT is mid and I could’ve done more volunteering and get involved in more sports and high impact clubs. I knew I wasnt getting into top 25 or even top 50 schools, and that’s okay. I’m not saying it’s not worth a try, but you can kind of tell when your application has a chance or not.

APPLY TO LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS. I got $1000 from local scholarships and one of my friends got like $5000 from local ones!! Realistically, we all can’t be Coca Cola scholars.

Okay that’s it, lmk if you have any questions.

Hi, I scored a 5 on the APUSH exam last year, and I just wanna say 2 things I think might be helpful!!

Try not to worry.. seriously, it does nothing but make your test performance worse. Last minute cramming isn’t gonna help, just relax, try to do something fun!

Don’t get caught up on SAQs if you don’t know them. I got a 5, and I’m pretty sure I did horrible on my SAQs. A lot of people get nervous because you either have an answer or you don’t. Remember, they only make up a small portion of the exam.

Okay that’s it lol. Good luck, and remember a test score doesn’t define you! My AP history teacher literally told our class she got a 2 on the exam in high school lol.

^Title

After I took my AP exam last year, I only really knew Handmaid’s Tale, and was really nervous going into it. However, I got a 5, so it didn’t really matter in the end. But, had I gone back in time I probably would have also prepped Beloved and Hamlet. I truly believe these are like the perfect trio that could match pretty much any prompts.

So, if you could go back in time, would you have done anything differently regarding prepping for q3?

Hi, to graduate I have to do a senior project, and a big part of that is a speech/powerpoint presentation. We have to do it on what career we want to pursue, and I want to be an attorney. My teacher wants us to do a hook or something cool to make people interested. She gave off past examples like someone who wanted to be a nurse anesthetist bring equipment in and showing us a very basic skill, someone who wanted to be a nutritionist showing off unlikely healthy foods and surprisingly unhealthy foods, and a speech therapist making one of their friends chew 3 pieces of gum and read a sentence, then only chew 1 piece of gum and re-read it, showing progress that people can achieve with speech therapy.

These are all sooo cool, and I just feel like I can’t top it! I’m thinking I maybe share an interesting case, fake a crime scene, but honestly I don’t know.. I’m not even sure this subreddit is the right place for this. But how do I come up with a creative hook for a speech??
