I imagine it would be cool to hear jokes/mentions of your field of study in a show - does it add something special that the rest of us don’t get, or does it take away from the series entirely? I’m a lawyer so my career is portrayed frequently in TV and screen media, but it’s often portrayed incorrectly, yet it’s still kind of cool to be able understand certain buzzwords or principles a bit more in depth.

Has anyone else suffered from this? I grew up unable to fall asleep early, even as a young child I would fall asleep around 11, when most kids were in bed by 8:30/9:30, and wake up around 10-12am. My parents never questioned it because they just assumed I was a problematic sleeper.

I still suffer from it, really really struggle to wake up in the morning and wake up always feeling terrible. It has definitely improved since I started on Keppra but I always find it difficult to express to people that I can sleep up to 14 hours like a cat and that me saying “I’m not a morning person” means i genuinely feel awful and incredibly sleepy when I wake up

I’m sick of having to call and email my local cinemas to see if the screenings are safe. I know you can find the info on specific movies online if you google hard enough but none of my local theatres have disclaimers on their websites. I called twice today and was told the Micheal Jackson film was safe, only to find out after I had paid and was seated that it wasn’t - a disclaimer came on screen and I had already paid for my ticket, popcorn, etc, plus was driven a long way to the movie by a friend. The staff can’t even give you a proper answer the majority of the time

This is a really stupid question but I became seriously ill and had surgery this year and am now sitting 5 papers in August. My results will be uncapped, but I’m really irrationally worried that because it’ll be August time the lecturers will assume I failed the first time around or are bitter that I sat an August paper and won’t give me a first. I’m graduating in October so I really need good grades. Has anyone sat an uncapped exam and received good results?

Hi all,

I’m a couple of months away from graduating law school.

For a bit of additional context, I am 22, come from a low socioeconomic background, no networks, no connections. I was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition which involves symptoms of epilepsy and a mass forming in my brain. Whilst I’m not in favour of making excuses for myself, this has been a great toll on me emotionally and physically, and for the first two years of college I averaged very poor grades, with the occasional okay/good grade in the mix. I haven’t received my final grades yet but I hope to reach around an A or B+ - in my country this is either a 1H or 2:1 grade.

This is NOT intended to be a sob story - I’m just plainly trying to say that my resume is lacking, and I’ve heard mixed things about mentioning my illness when applying for jobs.

One small plus I currently have is that I speak 5 languages to complete fluency and am learning two more. Other experience is just that I’ve had a service job…

In summary, my CV/resume is lacking, and I have no idea what to do. I don’t know where to volunteer, if volunteering is even an option, or how to gain absolutely any experience. I have no clear trajectory of what I want to specialise in but I’m interested in medical law, criminal law, and some aspects of company law.

I know this is more of a thinking-out-loud sort of post but any advice would be appreciated re specialisation, masters programs, experience, CV improvement…anything…lol
