So a few thoughts for law students as semesters wind down, inspired by conversations I've had with folks I've been advising notes for.

2020 has been a disaster for everyone and nobody is at peak performance. Even the folks who seem to be doing great on the outside, may not be.

Be smart and prioritize the things you need to do to recharge. Don't worry that you're not your best self right now and others are outpacing you-- they aren't. Don't internalize quirky things that are out of your control and try to be forgiving if others aren't their best selves.

The light is at the end of the tunnel. The most important thing is to keep yourself in a good place, invest in your own well-being, and write off what you can as being a bad year.

Same goes for your professors. We're in a similar place. So reach out if you need to. We get it.
