Or you could be adored for your privilege, befriended for the benefits that come with knowing someone whose dad is a biggie in the industry.
Both are toxic for you. In time, you will learn that your constant companion is only yourself, and Fairweather friends or foes, both are impermanent. Stay in your lane. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Maybe you will find some genuine friends who will make life feel better on the bad days, and who inspire you to do the same for others. The romantic lawyer would say that is his role in society, to make life better for others, and inspire by example.
Good luck, and enjoy law school.
