don't sweat it. The average law student is just as awkward as you are

join a club. Law school is a conglomerate of all different types of people. Just join a club or two that you'd be interested in and you should be able to find friends

Raise your hand every class multiple times to ask Qs so people know who you are

This is foolproof.


In reality, it's not too hard to meet new people. Orientation does a pretty good job of basically forcing you to meet people. Join clubs. Go out. +1 to whoever said buying people beers.

Join the FB group for your class and go to the meetups that people suggest before school starts.

I've had close friends throughout life but often find it hard to approach new people.
It might not matter, since students outside the T14 aren't real people.
Any advice?
Don't be weird. And retake.

Then you get beers. But only if we go to the same school - I'm not mailing them. That would only lead to shenanigans at your local post office.

I heard that Learning To Share is TCR. Like, if you have a pack of Twizzlers, you could offer one to the person next to you, and do not deny them should they ask "Can I get one?"
