I am becoming far less worried about getting into the top 10% of my class...

When talking to people in law school, lawyers, and anyone who thinks that they have a valid opinion, they'll say that A: law school is very difficult and B: that you have to be at the top of your class in order to accomplish anything after graduation. Understandably, that could make one nervous. Well, I've stumbled upon a wonderful way to assure yourself that it won't be that hard: Joining, and occasionally reading, your class' Facebook page. Now, I don't suggest spending a great deal of time on it, God only knows what that will do to your braincells, but it's a nice pick-me-up when you're feeling down and/or stressed. The mindless prattle, the constant stream of the exact same question asked every few hours, the answers to those questions that give the most roundabout and labor-intensive means of solving the issue, despite the fact that it will take you right by the (obvious) means of getting to the easy solution, etc. Not to mention the variety of event invites that are specifically geared towards drinking (both official and not) which should help any non-drinker relax with the knowledge that a good chunk of their class are going to be coming to class with hangovers a few times a week. So, any other new 1Ls, hopefully your school has setup a Facebook page so you, too, can realize your classmates are complete idiots.
