TIFU by missing the LSAT

Technically didn't miss it, I was at my desk at 9:30, but managed to fuck up every single step this morning.

The writing sample for the LSAT opens earlier than the test so I did that section last week, no problem. Except I thought the program they used for the writing sample was the same as the one for the regular test. Because why check literally any of the instructions in my email? So I was downloading the proctoring program at 9:27am for my 9:30am exam. Fuckup number one.

I get into the security clearance section at 9:36 or something and I immediately get connected to a proctor so I'm thinking alright rough start but it can only be smooth sailing from here.

"Can you show me the front and back of your scrap paper?"

Didn't know I was allowed scrap paper. I was planning on rawdogging this anyways. Fuckup number two.

I go through the room scan and everything and she asks if I know my LawHub username and password so I can access the test. I say yes because I use like four variations of the same password for everything. So I proceed to the test.

Yeah I in fact did not know my password. And got locked out of the account. So they told me to exit and reenter after contacting the help desk. And by the time I was able to get back in it was too late.

So now after all that I'm out $200 and am embarrassed at myself. Hoping schools don't see this massive fuckup of mine and use that to blacklist me. The silver lining to all of this is that I purposefully did not tell anyone I was taking it today, so at least I don't have to explain myself to family and friends. But still, I want to kick myself for wasting my time and money. Now I have to figure out which schools will accept an April LSAT.

TL;DR: Did absolutely every single step wrong and/or late the morning of my LSAT due to just not being a proactive person. Kicking myself.

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
