I wondered, "how could anyone enjoy working this hard?" But they can. Enjoy the little victories. Notice how interesting your classes are. Get a good group of friends. Be a good friend to them. Take time out for yourself. Spend more money than you should enjoying yourself. And, Don't beat up on yourself, for anything. There is no one class, one day, or one test that makes or breaks you. Not even a bar exam, because you can take it again. Keep your chin up and graduate.
