A quick definition of credit card:

A credit card is a special card that allows you to buy things without having to pay for them right away. Instead, you can pay for them later, usually with interest added. It's like borrowing money from the bank or the credit card company. You can use it to buy things online, in stores, or over the phone. It's different from a debit card, which takes money directly from your bank account.

A more thorough explanation:

A credit card is a type of identification card that allows you to buy things on credit. This means that you can use the card to pay for something now, but you will have to pay the money back later. You can use a credit card to make purchases on a revolving basis, which means that you can keep using the card as long as you pay off the balance each month.

For example, let's say you want to buy a new laptop that costs $1,000. If you have a credit card with a $1,000 limit, you can use the card to buy the laptop and pay for it later. You might choose to pay off the balance in full at the end of the month, or you might make smaller payments over time.

Another example of using a credit card is when you go out to eat at a restaurant. You can use your credit card to pay for the meal, and then pay off the balance when you receive your monthly statement.

Overall, a credit card can be a useful tool for making purchases and managing your finances, but it's important to use it responsibly and pay off your balance on time to avoid accumulating debt.

most people i know irl who work as local lawyers do just fine graduating from our local 180 ranked school. not really too portable outside the state but if you don't plan on leaving it's a good bet

I think there are some fantastic regional schools that give amazing placement, like u said Grey it just depends on if you’re good with not leaving that area

@CristianoRonaldo: I would definitely reach out to her this like Monday or something. It’s understandable to be anxious and u also don’t wanna wait too long to get screwed over. Also Messi is better.

@CristianoRonaldo: i would send another email but dont freak out. my profs waited until the last possible day to submit my letters. i would include a note about how you want to have the best shot possible at a school, and if its not submitted soon you might miss out
im scared my apps r already too late for this cycle
