  Any tips on controlling mania and depression?

  You can’t drink alcohol on your medication. I’m sorry to state this so bluntly but it is an empirically-validated research finding. Other than that, research shows that regular sleep patterns, regular exercise and healthy diet are all important adjunctive treatments to regulate mood. As others suggest, you should really discuss all of this with your treaters. If you only see your prescribing physican sporadically (i.e., PCP or psychiatrist), then you should make sure you have a therapist with expertise in working with mania. Some studies show beneficial effects of fish oil (Omega 3) on mood regulation. I’m sorry you have to deal with all of this. Hopefully your manic episodes aren’t too severe. The course of your illness won’t necessarily be a downwards slope. Take care of yourself to give yourself the best shot at real happiness.

  Dream analysis time! I was kissed by a camel!

  Joe Camel of Camel cigarettes is drawn to resemble a penis. If you doubt this, check out the link. The advertising geniuses at Camel are using sex to sell their product. Whether or not this association is meaningful to you, your dream represents fear of intimacy. As others have mentioned, the neck is a very intimate part of your body. The camel is intruding into your very personal space and you want to escape. Perhaps one of your parents was very intrusive, and as a child you had problems protecting yourself from their intrusions. Or perhaps you are afraid of being close in a romantic way.

  Graduate or don't graduate?

  Yes, I would say that most people do well if they study enough. The LSAT presents the same types of questions over and over again. So, with enough practice you start to get a metacognitive perspective (i.e., “gamesmanship”). You develop pattern recognition. This is particularly true of the logic games. Very few people do well on those without a lot of practice. That said, there are some people who can’t do well on the LSAT because of severe test anxiety, learning disability, or lack of motivation. But if you are doing well in college, you should be able to do just fine.
