shosh does law

may 4, ‘26

i’m starting to like the concept of making a comeback every once in a while to spread hopecore, but I’d have way more to post now than ever :D

i’d encourage you to check out my previous posts in here. i’m here to say now that graduating from a bachelors last year my grades were in hell. i got accepted into a prestigious masters program on a full scholarship which i’m starting in four months.

on top of that, i still have my job at a law firm where i was promoted to an associate this year. bunch of side projects and putting my acquired legal knowledge and experience to use.

you’ll end up where you should be :)

hello everyone! Thought id share how to say goodbye in russian since i could think of a few ways, here they are ranging fron most to least casual!

Покá - opposite of привéт, super casual and means "bye"! you would normally say this to a friend, close family member or someone younger than you. i can't think of the origin but the word has a second meaning, which is "for now/while".

До скóрого - (lit. until soon), somewhere between пока and до встречи in terms of formality, but meaning is closest to the next point.

До встрéчи - literally translates to "until (our next) meeting", a bit more formal than покá, but unlike it clearly implies that you will meet the person again at some point later, so id say its closer "See you" / "Until next time".

There is also a second version, "До нóвых встреч" (lit. until new meetings, meaning is the same, ive heard it used most often on tv programmes and when adressing an audience) and a more 'urgent' version: До скóрых встреч (Until our next meetings [which will happen soon]).

До свидáния - same literal meaning as до встречи but does not necessarily imply youre going to see the person again. Im not sure about the origins of this one but it likely has to do with the somewhat obsolete verb свúдиться - to meet/encounter someone, lit. to see each other.

Всегó дóброго/хорóшего - lit. means "(I wish you) All the best." You can use this when leaving a work meeting, finishing a phone call respectfully or with a customer. It can be used outside of professional situations but from my experience that's less common. Here, дóброе is used in its second meaning (first being "kind/pleasant [person]"), which is "good/nice".

Прощáй(те) - means farewell. a permanent goodbye, you will likely never see the people you say this to again. Прощай is the slightly more casual version while прощайте is more formal or refers to a group. Interesting fact: it wasnt formed from простúть (to forgive) but instead простúться (to bid farewell). the second word is also somewhat obsolete.

hope this was interesting! let me know what topics youd like me to talk about next and ask questions if you have them!

last time I posted in here was more than a year ago, and palpably hopeless, so as you can imagine there's much to tell

I ended up taking a gap year to process everything, which has helped me clarify my goals and intentions,

not long after that last post, I landed my first proper job in law and have managed to switch to my second job during this timeframe!

I've developed a tremendous interest in Intellectual Property Law and did a couple of internships too, which led me to long-time collaborations and connections I couldn't even imagine,

my social skills have improved so so much as a direct result of putting myself out there, which I'm sure a lot of you know how much of a big accomplishment is,

I'm currently in my last year of uni, preparing to write my thesis on the EU AI Act, think it'll be fun to monitor everything going on here again.

if you feel the same way I did about life and studies a while ago, know that things definitely get better as you move forward :)

A1 German Verb List 1

As I've started taking German classes and have done quite a few lessons by now, I think posting vocab lists could do great.

sprechen - to speak

sagen - to say

sehen - to see

schauen - to look, to watch

hören - to hear, to listen

lesen - to read

fragen - to ask

ergänzen - to complete, to fill in

markieren - to mark

passen - to suit, to fit

zuordenen - to arrange, to classify

buchstabieren - to spell

studieren - to study

zeigen - to point, to show, to display

passieren - to happen, to occur, to take place

meinen - to mean, to intend

raten - to advise, to counsel

lieben - to love

heißen - to be called

bauen - to build

fahren - to drive, to ride

kommen - to come

schreiben - to write

machen - to make, to do

rechnen - to calculate

backen - to bake

studieren - to study

außstehen - to stand up, to get up

kosten - to cost

funktionieren - to function, to work

pflegen - to nurse, to foster

wachsen - to grow

checken - to check

chatten - to chat (texting!)

üben - to practise

[ruotsalainen-kettu]

Very good list, but there's a few typos so allow me to correct it

Zuordnen - one too many e's

Außstehen doesn't exist afaik but your translation is auFstehen (to stand up)

But! Ausstehen does exist - it means either 'to bear/stand something' ("Ich kann Gurken nicht ausstehen" - "I can't stand cucumbers") or "to be pending" ("Der Bericht steht noch aus" - "The (submission of the) report is still pending")

And bonus knowledge: your translation of 'raten' as advise/council is absolutely correct, but it can also be used for 'to guess'

"Da kann ich nur raten" - "I can only guess"

Good luck and hopefully fun learning German, you're doing great! <3

i’ve been feeling very unsure and hopeless about everything. now more than ever, i’m trying to go with the flow, have backup options in mind, as i don’t have any visions on what to plan.

[mastermindhall]

this is the most notes any of my posts have gotten thank you !!

feb. 21

the second round of retake exams starts tomorrow. i'm anxious to the bone and i'm not. there's a mandatory internship in the faculty's legal clinic this semester though, excited to at least showcase some practical skills.

no idea what's going on with my job, but i'm trying to work, see how it'll work out.

it was, in fact, not late to get in touch with some classmates that look like fun. we've been going out and around.

i visibly have everything i'd practically prayed for a couple of months ago, yet it's even more chaotic. i'd rather have the chaos.

i am respectfully looking at the list of ten whole books people in here have read in january while taking immense pride in ‘pretty mouth and green my eyes’ and ‘dagon’

[mastermindhall]

I’ve spend a few full days at the library studying. It was so empty and atmospheric I was actually managing to get stuff done. Alas, very little.

Meanwhile, the job I was offered is getting postponed so much and I missed some good opportunities just for that. It’s making me infinitely sad, I hope something works out,

Applied for a couple of remote internships which seem super interesting, doing another leadership program,

Starting German lessons in a couple of weeks, so langblr content expectable?

I’m about 95% sure that I won’t even be a candidate for an exchange semester, but I’m blindly looking forward to applying??
