THE WELDON TIMES

Among law students, or at least the people at Schulich that I study with, booking a basement library room is never just about studying. It always starts that way: textbooks out, laptops plugged into the nearest outlet, and someone suggesting that we "Lock in for the next four hours." Within five minutes, someone’s asking what the new Crumbl cookie lineup is this week.

Law school is truly a journey, and we’re glad to be closing ours out with one last Tastefully Timed article. We hope you celebrate the highs and soften the lows with good food during your time at Weldon. Here’s our final recommendations for the moments and emotions you’ll experience over the next three (or more) years.

A student reflects on grief during law school and how members of the Weldon community supported her in a manner previously unexperienced.

When I was eight, university felt impossibly far away. As a kid, just a week felt like a year. But as the weeks turned into months, and months into years, my undergrad came and went in a flash. So much life happens between point A and point B, and yet we look back and wonder how things flew by so quickly. Even during undergrad, the idea of being a working lawyer felt like a lifetime away.
