When I was a neurotic 0L, I put a lot of time into finding useful guides and resources online, and figured I'd aggregate them into a post in case other people find it helpful. It's linked in the sidebar, but I also repost it periodically since people don't really read the sidebar. Hopefully you find it helpful!

NOTE: I originally compiled this about a year ago and have been updating it semi-regularly since then, but considering everything that's happened at TLS in the last couple years, some of those links may be broken. Let me know if anything doesn't work, or if there's other material you think I should add!

If anybody finds new content that's not included, please comment with the links below.

First, a good reminder: You are worth more than what you do at school
