Law School Therapy

"Okay I will remind you of something funny you did: when X and I were about to leave (maybe around 2?) you were like 'I know what you guys are gonna do, you guys are gonna go home and have sex!' Hahaha, I just started laughing thinking about that. It was true, obviously, but not at all what I was expecting you to say. Amazing."

I have the best group of law school friends from my 1L section that ever existed. Our email chains routinely exceed 100 items and get knocked into second threads, and we often have multiples going on at one time. Each has its own nuanced style as we go through the rhythms of our day, ebbing and flowing with bedtimes and awake times, busy times and free times. We discuss annoying professors, evaluate Etsy purchases and share details about our sex lives. And I cannot emphasize how important that last point is: having girlfriends who actually talk about sex is a very new thing for me. Because of that, I have become more comfortable, more open and more bold. With these friends, it just feels right.

I've always had an easy time making friends. I'm chatty, personable, non-threatening and mostly innocuous at first meeting. It's a skill I'm very proud of, and it's nice to know that I can still rely on it when necessary.
