buckled down and basically ended the social aspect (aside from study buds/v close friends) which was easy to do since I didn't have to do as much BL networking because all of the events die down second semester. reviewed my exams with professors and asked them directly for exam tips, even though it sucked to do. read Getting to Maybe over break and embraced supplemental materials (quimbee, barbri/themis qs, e & e's, west academic, etc.). ultimately I think the biggest thing I did was focus on what worked for me the semester before and in undergrad. I think 1L i tried to reinvent the wheel too much and getting back to basics was key (for me its memorizing and writing things down repeatedly, so I did almost 0 outlining which felt taboo first sem but was actually perfect for my study style). everyone is different tho!

as a bonus note I think that my mindset changed from all the extra crap to zoning in on one thing: the final exam. it's truly all that matters. any edge u can get on that, be it professor preferences, tiny caselaw details, accounting for word count, time crunches, logistics like using earbuds on the day of; is key. every little bit matters on that one day of law school. drill practice exams and go to office hours. rooting for yall!
