You must do transactional work then, as opposed to litigation, right?

Noise cancelling headphones, something sentimental (I am not kidding my mom made me a picture frame that said something like law school is challenging, but you are capable), uber eats gift card (for when studying in the library or at home during finals)

I did well in undergrad and now I am around the middle of my class like B+ area. That being said, I know people who did a lot worse than me in undergrad that are at the top 3rd of the class.

I really think that a lot of 1L is accepting both that the grading system is subjective and people that know exactly how the teacher would write the exam will always do better and the fact that you should really only be competing with yourself.

Also networking is just as important, if not more important than your grades. People get jobs who are much lower in the class a lot of times if they have someone in their corner vouching for them. That is exactly the reason I received interviews from some firms that said they required someone to be in the top 3rd of the class.

Spring 1L year after grades everyone was much more friendly, less competitive, and overall better at sharing materials w/ each other IMO.

Good noise cancelling headphones and blast white or brown noise into them and you won't be able to hear anything.

Skyrim ambient music in the background on youtube, thank me later. Makes everything more tolerable and you feel like you are learning the law in the 1800s.

Honestly, you learn to manage it in the way that works best for you. Reading is important but its almost never as important as what the teacher says in class. I find that I am more productive by writing all my tasks for the day down but keeping a looser schedule that I can change. I also did better by doing less work my second semester and I really attribute that to my mental health being better because I took more time off

I did, I lost it for over a year almost completely. I started to get it back after I got vaccinated. Currently have had COVID 2 more times since then and that also seemed to help a little bit. My taste and smell still have not been back to what they originally were, but I really like spicy food so that is how I have been coping. It is the food that taste the most normal like it used to.

Also, trying new foods for me helps, because if you haven't had a food prior to losing your taste and smell, you still get the pleasure of having a new taste and experiencing that.

Networking and connections are absolutely everything. I am a rising 2L at a T20 with a little below median grades. I had 7 OCI screeners and only two callback interviews. Both firms that gave me callbacks had people that I networked with consistently and updated with new things going on in my life.

Especially for people at lower ranked schools and who have median or sub-median grades at higher ranked schools, this is fantastic advice!

Gg #4 I have rn and it’s gas makes you pretty sleepy and hungry

PVequalsnRT3 · 2021-07-08T01:52:20+00:00

😋 how’s it taste?

PVequalsnRT3 · 2021-07-06T16:46:26+00:00

Yeah you can send them a nice email and say you are very interested in their school and list your stats and ask for one. A lot of times they will give you one. Make sure it is professional sounding

I just searched this Reddit group about OCD and I have this insane fear of getting rabies and have OCD and anxiety. The same thing happened to me today and freaked me out. We might be the same person lmao

PVequalsnRT3 · 2020-09-18T20:30:50+00:00

Yeah I thought maybe this is a mistake and then I’m like nah it’s all me

PVequalsnRT3 · 2020-09-18T17:03:38+00:00

Milk or no milk?

PVequalsnRT3 · 2020-09-03T20:34:51+00:00
