TLS c/o 2020 - In #Squad We Trust Forum

[jjcorvino]

I wouldn't have gotten married so young/soon if I wasn't about to start law school, but I wanted to do it before school started, I didn't want to wait three years until I graduated, and I wanted to be married in the fall so it basically had to be last fall

I never really had a "hoe phase" (lol love that term ), though, and do not feel like I missed out. Guess I'm just a traditionalist Midwestern-er!

Weddings are tons of fun, though. Ours was the BEST (even though I'm sure it would have been more fun as a guest hahaha). We had open bar all night (my parents were feeling very generous I guess) and one of my friends got so drunk that he passed out in the elevator. Luckily my maid of honor found out and saved him (she was so pissed though--props to her because I never knew about it until the next day!). And then one of our other friends accidentally threw a girl across the dance floor, she slipped on some beer (which he had spilled) and she WIPED out. Good times.

I wasn't invited to the weddings of two of who I thought were really close friends last summer, but I still invited them to my wedding They didn't come, though, and had suuuper lame excuses as to why. Oh well!

Sounds fun!

We are kind of having two weddings. One real wedding in New York with about 120 people (closest friends and direct family), then my parents are throwing us a party in Chicago (that is really more of their party in honor of us) for their friends and our extended family. I have a huge family and my parents have a huge friend group so they couldn't invite all of them. I don't mind though, gonna be a fun time and I am glad we are getting those extra registry items .

I'm gonna elope.

that's cool that your parents have a huge friend group. I want that when I'm a parent. I feel like a lot of parents completely give up their lives and personal relationships for their children.

Don't do it Rigo, think of the presents

[Hennessy]

I need someone to talk me down.

I should obviously take Emory at $120k COA right?

Over a TTTT at $70k COA?

I'm almost 25 and only a few people I know of from college are married/engaged. Out of my actual friends, it's just one (wedding in June!!), but a fair amount are in long-term relationships. I also feel like on the East Coast college grads/professionals tend not to get married until they're like 30 though.

Yeah I think the age of "settling down" varies by region.

More specifically by metropolitan areas. Most of the East Coast isn't saturated by professionals and millennials.

Yeah, fair. I should have said East Coast metro areas.

My SO and I were going to elope if I chose one of the law schools where family housing is the only affordable option.

maybe. not all TTTTs are made the same, though.

Listen. I love weddings. I love to drink. And I love to dance. I'm a perfect wedding guest.

In other words, invite me to your wedding TLS fam!!

Maybe I'll just rent out a bar an Applebee's for a reception.
My parents eloped but had a party on each coast. I wonder what their gift situation was.

"Please make your checks payable to the Department of Education Loan Servicing Department in Rigo's name."

I consider myself a 5 Star +1 to weddings and events. Feel free to request my services.

[jjcorvino]

Yeah, I'm only 22 and 6 of my best friends are married. One even had a kid on purpose already! A few dry weddings and only 1 open bar later and I am pessimistic about marriage. Not looking forward to my 7th friend getting married soon...

Woah, woah, dry wedding?! If you expect me to pay money to travel to a wedding/get you a gift I at least expect to get some beers.

I support that so much. It's not at all a terrible idea. So many benefits.

yeah because we would live together, and his program provides housing benefits for families and established domestic partnerships. Also, it wouldn't make sense to pay an additional $7500 to the same organization for health insurance

OK, now I have to post this pic from my wedding. My parents have a huge friend group, too, and all the kids are the same (ie my) age. We call ourselves "the gang" and had to get a special photo at my wedding.

also LOL at my dad being so short (he's immediately to my left, and for reference, my brother is the super tall dude immediately to my dad's left with glasses)

It's kind of ridiculous how stark the differences are. But you've definitely done your research! If you do that, make sure to let the #squad know so we can at least send you gift cards and things haha

It's basically your friend saying "Hey, do you want to waste an entire day of your life kneeling 50 times (Catholic wedding) so that you can eat some average food and give me a gift before driving your sober self home to get drunk alone?"

Totally, I mean personally I told my open bar that we aren't allowing shots at the bar. Only mixed drinks, beer and wine. I just don't want people railing shots and getting fucked up. I am sure people can do that easily enough on regular drinks anyway.

I want to live in New Orleans.
I want to do public interest.
TTTT is where I went to undergrad, I have significant ties to the city.
Got waitlist (yp'd?) from the other big school in the city.
2.5/169

Up until now I've been considering TTTT because 70k cost of attendance sounds fantastic. I think I've (maybe falsley) convinced myself I'd beat the odds of the 25% unemployment.

Oh damn, I am not sure on this one. New Orleans is a tricky one because Louisiana has a different legal system. Edit: Usually I would say look at other options.
