OTR: the panel

Library books by Glen Noble via Unsplash

In SSG we had a panel of older students that gave advice on exams:

Panelist 1: “Don’t talk about the exam afterwards. Don’t. Seriously. Because you’ll think of all the things you did wrong and feel like CRAP.”

Panelist 2: “You’re kinda in a panic during your first exam and like what the fuck…”

Panelist 3: “Your professor is really intimidating – I’d go to her office hours and she’s looking at me like I’m the stupidest person on earth…so just take a piece of humble pie and get over it…”

Panelist 4: “I felt SO depressed after that exam! I was like “I got a C, I KNOW I got a C.” I felt sad, I felt like throwing up…”
Panelist 2: “Uh, Panelist 4 is a glass half empty…

Panelist 3: “The perfect law student is a ROBOT. So don’t worry about it…”

    First-semester grades are analogous to firing a shotgun at a mathematical graph. Bird-shot, long range. Just guess what the X and Y axes are. Consider it a study in chaos theory and start the apathy now.
