Bar results are going to be released and all of us, who took that fucking exam, are going to have to confront the reality of outcome. While I have no advice on how to cope in a constructive and mature manner, I do have several thoughts on how to preserve the small amount of perspective that you may have.
1. Read lots of depressing world news. Failing the bar exam seems rather insignificant in the context of regional civil unrest, global warming, genocide, rampant corruption, financial disaster, and widening inequality.
2. Use this time to indulge in all the vices that you swore off post bar prep. Binge drinking has only killed a few undergraduates, just be sure to keep a few friends on speed dial so that you don't end up driving around.
3. Think about all the more significant fuck ups you have made in the past and note that you are still doing pretty okay. (If you have not seriously screwed up before, first congratulations and second think about all the things you could have fucked up.)
4. Accept the sympathy of those who are offering it. Rarely in adult life is there opportunity to be really dramatic without a person dying.
