She said that it’s totally normal. Obviously she hasn’t been to law school but the fact that we are all there all day every day, you can’t pick your classes, and therefore don’t really have a choice in the people around you; the whole thing is a mirror image of being in high school.

That has helped me in a way. Seeing the situation for what it is and knowing it’s out of my control. Honestly the start of my second semester I set out to do a lot of things differently and that has helped. Someone in the comments said that it’s probably the people you are hanging around and thats totally true for me. I thought I found a solid group of people and I didn’t and now I’m having to back track and set boundaries / find and make new friends. It’s a lot but I feel a lot better removing myself from the clique-iness and fake behavior.

I hope that helps!
