I went to my GE science teachers and asked for a comprehensive list of what is taught in biology in our GE classes. My goal is to take the main ideas and bring the concepts down to the level of my students to keep them moving at a similar rate. I was told they do not feel they can share that with me because we do not have our class assignments for next year yet.

SSSOOOO...can anyone help me come up with a Biology Concept list?

At what point should I be worried about my ability or inability as a lawyer? I’m a first year, but feel as though my office has very high expectations from top to bottom. Often placed on cases alone with a partner who is too busy to answer questions. Other times mid-levels sort of deflect when they don’t clearly communicate what they want done (e.g., “draft part of this brief” and gets upset when it isn’t up to snuff). Mainly, I am worried that I am failing at this and am not a good lawyer.

There’s a partner in a different office that is going to give me a crappy review in December. Partner won’t let me get off the matter that I am on with him. My hours are too high and I can’t prioritize this matter.

I’m a first year and fucked up big time. The client doesn’t know about this but a senior associate was furious. I know it’s 100% my fault but no one above me actually reviewed my work bc everyone was so busy. But then I found out the senior gave a rant about how I fucked up to another colleague. When I apologized to him, he was really salty. Since then, my heart drops every time I see his email bc I’m too scared. He is usually pretty emotional and his instructions are vague, which doesn’t help.

High expectations from family, friends and myself. Always been extremely ambitious and a high achiever, and now a V10 associate. Inherited two NYC mortgage-free condos that give me 5k a month.

I feel burnt out and that I haven’t been genuine. I do many (60+) hours of work weekly for the benefit of the few. Considering going into politics or public administration, scared I will be looked down upon and considered unsuccessful by my peers. Never been this insecure and anxious in my life. Help!
