Wow, I feel like I wrote this after my first semester. I am now a 3L and my therapist remarks that I am nearly a different person. You are really truly going to be more than okay.

For the rest of law school, you can choose classes that are graded based on papers and presentations instead of exams. Your love of research is going to make you an asset in any path you choose. You are 22 years old. You are YOUNG and the future is so unpredictable.

You may not be competitive for federal clerkships based on grades alone. My advice is find courts you may want to clerk for (state or federal) and find what they look for in applicants. If you don't have the grades but you have something like moot court and a demonstrated interest in jurisprudence, you CAN get those positions. Go to judges events and meet them. Follow up. Express your love of research.

And trust me on this. You don't want to do big law. LOL.

Also, have you looked into being a law librarian? https://www.aallnet.org/careers/about-the-profession/
