Here’s a quick little reminder for you guys who are not aware of my sordid love affair with decadent chocolate cake and anything bathed in a creme. I mean, come ON! How are you not salivating? You see, I have a real love and passion for food. I wouldn’t say I’m as adventurous as Andrew Zimmern, but I do…
Continue readingDuring our Fundamentals Week, which is basically a crash-course in law school etiquette and expectations, one professor took the time to explain self-care in a way I’d never heard.
