So, what's everyone up to this weekend? I'm visiting Long Island for the first time to stay with my in-laws. It's actually kind of peaceful here, I don't get why it gets such a bad rep...🤔

I really haven't spent much time out there because yeah you're right it does get a bad rep haha. I feel like I just hear people make fun of it as sort of a ghetto place, but I'm sure there are nice areas. I'm going to Rockaway Beach this weekend with some friends and hoping to go out to a nice dinner with my boyfriend tonight! Stay cool out of the heat!

How do you feel about the field? What are the stress levels like? Do you enjoy it? Are you working at firm or are you working independently? Any info helps! Thanks 😊
