I feel like I'll probably end up gunning for D.C.

DC is a good city. However, it is not a NYC, LA/San Fran, or Chicago. There are definite limits on things to do here. The museums get old after you have seen them all the first year. If you are a political junkie (like me) there is always something to do, and the vibe of the city is very fun. There is nothing like hanging out at a happy hour at Union Pub/Cap lounge and hearing Hill staff gossiping or walking by the White House everyday on your way to work. I am excited to live in NYC, but I will definitely miss it here.

You've really gotta be into it though. I've been here three years and I'm pretty worn down by "so what do you do" social events and transactional relationships / networking.

It never does get old passing the WH and the Washington Monument every day, though.

Yeah, my fiance gets pretty annoyed by the culture here. I enjoy it because I am involved in that scene. I imagine it is a bit like gunners in law school though, there are some people that take it too far here. However, most people are normal and are generally interested in what you do because they are also super passionate.

There is also another thing that I love about the political culture of DC; people that live here and work in politics generally know how to have civil discussions and disagreements without ruining friendships. When I am back home, I have friends that I would never even mention my job to because of the backlash. Here, I have friends that are ultra-conservatives working on the hill (and now in the administration). We definitely disagree on a lot, but we have fun ribbing eachother and really make it into more of a joke. It never ruins our friendships. They like my instagram/facebook posts of pictures with POTUS (well, not anymore) just like I like their snapshot of an inauguration party with Paul Ryan .

Very true, one of the good things about DC's insidery culture is that you can be friends with interesting people from the opposite side. You work with or see them so often it's hard not to (unless you go out of your way to be a jerk/never leave your echo chamber, which some people definitely do).

The "what do you do" definitely does get tiresome, but it's a conversation starter precisely because people are often passionate about their jobs in DC and have interesting things to say about it.

Honestly the best part about living here are the monuments. It's super easy to get used to them, but every so often I'll walk by the Washington monument and just stop and think about what it represents and it's just a really cool feeling.

The young scene is fun but I do not enjoy the older "what do you do" crowd much at all, and I have a pretty good answer to it too.

Welp, just read an article about how Trump's early moves are basically the precursor to creating a shadow government and secret police force, and now I'm wondering why I should even bother attending law school.

Minnesota law prof sues Trump over ethics

I went to Minnesota for my UG and have mostly ruled it out for LS but I would be lying if this situation didn't make me rethink that decision a little

Awesome work, y'all. I'm waiting on getting scheduled for an interview for my first T14. (Georgetown). I've heard good things about the interview itself, but interviews always have me nervous.
