MINS

Read a random definition: separatio tori

A quick definition of MINS:

Children are young people who have not yet reached the age of majority. They can be boys or girls, sons or daughters, babies or fetuses. There are different types of children, such as legitimate or illegitimate, biological or adopted, and special-needs or stepchildren. Some children may be in need of supervision or protection, such as those who have been abused, neglected, or delinquent. Others may have disabilities that require special education or related services. Children can also be unborn, posthumous, or quasi-posthumous, depending on the circumstances of their birth.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: MINS stands for Minor in need of supervision. It refers to a child who has committed an offense that only children can commit, such as being ungovernable and disobedient to parents, running away from home, violating a curfew, being habitually truant from school, violating age restrictions on the purchase or possession of liquor or tobacco, or the like.

Examples:

  • A child who repeatedly runs away from home without permission from their parents or guardians.
  • A child who violates curfew laws by staying out past the designated time.
  • A child who habitually skips school without a valid reason.

These examples illustrate how a child can be considered a MINS if they commit an offense that is specific to children and requires supervision.

I've finished all my major requirements, so I'm taking pretty much all electives next semester. Keeping one major specific class bc I'm majoring in it for a reason haha. But I'll be pretty free to study and try and improve my GPA. I will try self study first, see where that gets me. If that doesn't work I'll look into tutoring!
the way there probs won't be another wave until after thanksgiving LMFAO

most of the stuff a tutor will teach you is stuff you can figure out yourself if you’re sufficiently motivated. if you would benefit from some support and structure tutoring can be helpful

I'm in a dual degree program that my undergraduate has where if you meet a gpa and percentile you can have your senior year be your L1 ! Cuts off a year of time and money and the partner was my top pick for law anyways. It all just worked out and since it's ED can't really apply anywhere else because the L1 transfers back to complete my degree. :)

oh that’s nice! I guess you have a high degree of certainty about the process then

God my mouth is burning so much
@babycat: A few things. I mean, for one, this is my fifth year of undergrad (graduating with a dual BA/MA), so I don't think academically I'm incredibly behind or anything. Beyond, that I've explored other fields, and for the very niche area of public interest work I am interested in, law is the only way I can make a substantiative difference so why not start now.
And also my other options just are not great. I could take a shit paying job at a think tank, I was offered a job at, but I don’t find the work interesting. Or I could continue in academia, getting a phd, but again just not especially interested in academic philosophy.
I would say more, but I am very close to doxxing myself if I haven’t already.
