I have dogs, but they've cut down on the booze since the move. Though if you plan on staying in a dorm, you might need to get a Paris Hilton "dog." And I wouldn't say I was ever really depressed - just a feeling of "this sucks, I want to sleep, I don't want to read 150 pages of cases tonight." But as I said, after 1L, it gets progressively better (at least it did for me).
Go to a "competitive" law school if you can. I'm at a good one, and while the work might be relatively tougher, its not like the students are cutthroat with each other (unlike what you might hear elsewhere (like Scott Turow's book "1L" - but maybe that was just Harvard)). Also, don't play SNOOD or any other games during class - not a good long term plan.
I think the application process blows for everyone. If you're not done, my advice (which I didn't follow) - finish it all ASAP. The longer you wait, the worse it gets. (Speeding down to the post office 20 minutes before it closes on the deadline is not the way to go).
