I was just in the hall near my locker trying to read property. Would've been the perfect setting except for a 2L reeling off advice to a 1L right near me. All the usual inanity: don't give a fuck about what your classmates think of you! Don't give a fuck about the people who type a lot of notes, the professor actually hates them! Don't give a fuck about what the professor thinks of you! If I'd stuck around longer I probably would've heard that all the gunners shut up after they get their first semester grades (not true, but everyone always says that) and maybe "be yourself" for good measure.
Why do we always have that vindictive attitude about gunners/nerds/etc.? They're annoying sometimes, but we don't need to act so angry at them. For example, crazy typists are typing like crazy because they're crazy, not in order to hurt your grade. Other people's intensity isn't personal.
As for "not giving a fuck" about what your fellow human beings think of you-- that's sociopathic!

Frying pan.
I inadvertantly gave advice to a 1L.
Inadvertantly, because Fudge was his actual mentor and I just happened to be there offering advice. If I had been thinking properly, I would've given out that same crappy advice. Instead, I told him he should buy commercial outlines, form a study group as soon as possible, and to stress some but try to relax and hang out with his friends in downtime.
What a bad mentor uncle (that's what he called me) I am.
I hate it when people tell me not to give a fuck what other people think of me. It always makes me feel ten times worse than I felt when I merely gave a fuck what others thought of me because now I'm worried that even the people who didn't think about me at all will start thinking badly of me just becuase I give a fuck what anyone thinks about me. How am I going to prove to people that I am being myself and not giving a fuck what they think when I'm so worried that they might think I give a fuck?
Fuckers.
See, that's why I drink a lot and never leave my house.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to get this off my chest.
