Lawyer Braggart
Because I’m not bragging about this other than anonymously: I passed the bar exam today. I graduated in mid-June and worked more than full time while studying on that already abbreviated timeline. And I was pretty darn calm, had healthy habits, and made time for family and friends while doing it. That approach, now that I know it was successful, feels like a breakthrough to me and I’m pretty proud of myself. Yay!
Winter
Way to go! This is a difficult accomplishment, even with a a longer time frame and no other obligations.
Jules
Congratulations! And I feel like this is one of the things you CAN brag about, or at least celebrate, IRL bcause it’s objectively a big accomplishment as well as a milestone.
Ellen
Congratulations. Welcome to our club. It can be trying at times to be a lawyer, but we all love it! Now that you are a lawyer, you can focus your attention on finding a man to date and mate with. Best of luck with that, too. YAY!

Wow! I read the Fortune Article about 40 people under 40 years old, but focused just on the women! Congratulation’s to all of them for doing what was necessary to get to the top of their respective jobs. I was particularly enthusisastic about the women who had founded their own busnesses, b/c that is a big hurdle for us. I saw a few that worked for big companie’s, and they too get kudo’s, but not as much as the founders of busness. I was also happy to see that most of the women still looked cute, despite their age and hard work that got them there. We should nominate Kat, Kate and Elizabeth of Coporette, if we can only learn how. If anyone in the hive knows someone in Fortune Magazine, please let us know who to write. YAY KAT, KATE and ELIZABETH in any event! You are 3 women we all appreciate every day for their contributions on this humbel website! TRIPEL YAY!
