A Lifestyle Blog
Here I am, unexpectedly writing the last post of my debt diary series. If you have been following my student loan journey for a while now, you will know that I started my lifestyle blog last year during the pandemic primarily to talk about my student loan journey. This blog quickly turned into a lifestyle […]
If you’re reading this you likely already know you are not being hired back by your current employer after articling or perhaps you don’t yet have an offer for an associate/counsel position. I did NOT get hired back by my articling employer and this is a short account of my experience and what you NEED […]
Another milestone reached in my debt journey. As I am writing this the balance of my student loan has FINALLY dipped below my salary. To be totally honest and transparent this journey has been pretty slow. Because of the amount of interest I pay, it takes a while for my payments to make a noticeable […]

This is sort of a joke post – but not really. I absolutely hated being called on (or more commonly known in the U.S. – cold-called) but my post law school self can understand the value in it. I mean if you end up in litigation (as I did) your entire career is a never […]
As a first generation lawyer, I knew very few people that went to law school personally. Most of the advice I obtained came from the work place and connections that I sought out on my own. Here are a few things that I discovered when I started law school with little insider knowledge. I know […]
