Back on the west coast today to celebrate the end of the bar exam and my golden birthday (26 on the 26th)! I can’t believe year 25 went by so quickly. From my last year in law school to graduation and the bar — it’s been an incredible ride full of huge milestones and I can’t wait for what year 26 will bring! Thank you for the well wishes everyone!
A little over two months ago, I started what has been quite possibly the hardest task of my life to date: studying for the NY bar exam. It’s an endurance test — not only for the 12-hour exam spread over 2 days, but for the months leading up to it. For me, that involved spending 10-12 hours in the library, every day of the week. Learning material dating back to the first year of law school, along with more complex topics from scratch and the laws of a state in which I haven’t ever even lived in. Memorizing eighteen different areas of law and being able to apply these principals in problems where I will have as little as a minute to decide the correct answer.
It’s going to be a crazy two days, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t incredibly nervous going into it, but I’ve received incredible support and well-wishes from my friends and family and for that, I am beyond grateful. To my friends taking the bar this week, good luck! Not that you need it. And to everyone else, please continue to send smart, positive vibes my way for the next two days and I will see you all on the other side!
This past weekend, I was a little bit of everywhere. My mom flew in for a quick visit, we drove up to Phoenix for my brother’s fiancé’s bridal shower, and then I headed straight back to Tucson. Still trying to catch up on work, so enjoy a few Instagram snaps from here and there.

The most adorable bridal shower party favor (it’s hard to kill a succulent, right?).
A gift from mom.
And an equally sweet treat from a bff (thanks for the mojito, Em!).
And my favorite pic of all: gorgeous baubles from my favorite Etsy shops!
