The FL GBE starts Tuesday and I know a few friends going in. Out of curiosity, what advice, serious or silly, do you wish you had had your first attempt?

So I am not sure what GBE is but if you are referring to the Bar Exam, the best advice I could give that no one gave me on test day but really helped is when you open the essay portion, read each essay before starting, outline the issues, and sperate them based on the amount of time it will take you to get the most points out of the essay. Not all essay questions are created equal. Spend the most time on the one you know the most about, that way you maximize your points. When I took my exam I spent 1 hour 15 min on one essay, 45 minutes on another, and just shy of an hour on the third essay. Good luck to all test takers.

Do you mean MBE? Or is it called GBE now?

Is my relationship worth it? Met my SO of 3 years senior year of college. Hoped we would graduate and start our full time jobs together, but my SO is unfortunately still in school (switched majors, transferred schools, etc). Our relationship has taken a big hit, as I am moving forward with my life but he is still in school and can’t find a job. I am also starting to resent him and he is turning more insecure. I am only 23, is this worth it?

They’re 4 and 7 for reference. Please constructive responses only. Thank you!

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out
