We took a weekend trip down to Hilton Head Island and it happened to fall on my birthday. Let me tell you, this was the best birthday weekend for a VERY long time.

Quote of the day
“In the end… we only regret the chances we didn’t take, the relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.” ― Lewis Carroll

Third time’s a charm for bar exams
Yes, you read that right in my previous post. I have taken the bar exam in three different states. Thankfully I passed, but I was convinced every time that this was going to be the time I failed. Each state has covered a different part of my life. Here is a brief synopsis, and a … Continue reading Third time’s a charm for bar exams
