@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: saving enough to have mortgage +bills for the first 2 years of law school, figured i can work again after the 2nd year but at least ill give myself the flexibility to focus on school and not bills. A little to the side because life happens and sometimes u need to prepared for hitting rock bottom

I have 1 more app to submit and I am rly hoping to drop this volunteer position that’s basically a full time job, but my personal statement is abt this position so idk if somehow it’ll come back

@whenpigsfly: I would say it does not matter and I would not update anything that is potentially negative like quiting a job. If fired I would think notification would be the polite thing to do. If it is unpaid volunteer then I would say it does not matter at all. @puppybot: she is the cutest bunny can verify
