lawtastrophe 

a portmanteau combining the words law and catastrophe. lawtastrophe is the continual decline of the law industry and the law school industrial complex.
Dewey & LeBoeuf is a microcosm of the law industry's decline. Moreover, from the TTTTs to the lower T14, these law schools are throwing scholarships left and right to lower caliber students. This shitty economy has exacerbated the lawtastrophe that built up over the years.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
