Before I started studying for the LSAT, I used to run marathons and ultramarathons; I've even coached some people on how to get into running them. And for the two years that I've been studying for the LSAT, I found a lot of parallels between the LSAT (and law school process in general) and running a marathon.
They're both long stretches of a challenge.
They're both very difficult to do.
There's moments where you're feeling good and you're riding a high but then there's moments where you're not feeling so good and the momentum starts to die down.
But there's one lesson that I've learned from running marathons that I'd like to think would help anyone in a situation where things start to feel overwhelming: one mile at a time. When I used to run, I didn't think about the end of the run - I really only thought about the next mile. If I thought about the entire marathon, I would think to myself, "this shit is impossible!" But if I thought about just running one more mile, the marathon no longer felt impossible.
Recently I was rejected from my last waitlisted school and I felt very overwhelmed on top of the preparations for the October LSAT as well as managing my life outside of the LSAT. Everything felt impossible and I've felt very hopeless recently. But I know that if I stopped thinking about "the end" of this process (an end that no one can really predict unless I give up) and take it one day at a time, then things start to feel a little more possible - slowly but surely.
And I'm saying all of this because I've felt like absolute shit in this past month and I honestly don't know if I'm going to make it. And if my experiences with the LSAT are like anyone else's, then maybe the way that I try to cope and get through a hard time could work for someone else here also feeling overwhelmed with all of it.
So I pray that everyone who needs the strength to keep going another mile and another day gets that strength.
yeah thats about it
if Marjorie Shostak is seeing this, I challenge you to a boxing match
@Emma2000 i always set the prediction slider down low for good luck
im feeling like D Rose when he scored 50 when he was on the Timberwolves
iykyk
PT 155 put BTA on me on a fine Sunday afternoon. RC was so bad for me that I lowkey think JY and Kevin are about to trade me for some picks to clear up that cap space.
in all honesty, a 160 is still a decent score for my goals. but god damn, pt 155 got me thinking 170+ is a ring and I am James Harden
I just stopped highlighting atp
Could Elle Woods from Legally Blonde take on 2019 Raptors Kawhi Leonard in 1-on-1 basketball?
Here's my theory: Eugene Krabs actually transformed the Krusty Krab into LSAC. Just like what he did with Krusty Towers in trying to expand profits via a hotel service and subsequently a hospital (based off of how exorbitant the Krusty Krew's hospital fees were), it seems only natural that Mr. Krabs would silently shift towards the standardized testing market for law schools. $253 per test taker on top of $46 for the optional score preview, plus the one time fee of $219 for CAS and a $45 fee per school being applied to - it seems like LSAC seems very reminiscent of a certain crustacean who was already prominent in the fast food industry underwater. But instead of charging individuals such as King Neptune outrageous prices for simple products (cheese on a Krabby Patty), the crustaceous cheapskate saw the chance to charge outrageous prices for this test and simple acts of services such as sending one number to a law school.
@PhoebeHopp Lol it's always my ritual to have the prediction at the lowest for good luck (sometimes it works lol).
This was the first PT I took in a month so the endurance issue wasn't that much of a surprise. I've been doing my best to improve on my confidence and just trying to be more grateful to where I'm at now so I'm really looking forward to reviewing this test and using what I learn for future ones (+500 team chemistry).
I panicked, but I'm honestly not upset about the 162. But I'd be lying if I said JJ Redick wasn't in my head screaming at me in the locker room
im retiring right now if im fr the "De'Aaron Fox" of the LSAT 😭🙏
Had to get zero wrong out of respect for how many picks the Lakers have left
I used to think that this test was impossible - that nothing could change. But a second round pick from Villanova just proved to me and everyone else with the same mindset that we're wrong: anything is possible.
Discord has a lot of features that I think are pretty good, especially for larger study groups; for example, you can have multiple voice chats and channels so that way a larger group can split off or you can have different purposes for channels/voice chats. There's also a whiteboard app integrated with Discord as well as a screen share feature that you mentioned you wanted. What I like the most is the ability to integrate bots into your server so that way you can add on more features and automation to your liking.
All in all, I've been using Discord before I started studying for the LSAT and joining study groups so there's definitely a "this is what I'm comfortable with" factor. I'd say it's worth looking into if you want a lot of freedom in how you design your study group.
