14 Signs You're an Engineering Major

Every major on campus has its own set of problems. Here are the 14 struggles every engineering major knows a little too well.

You know you're an engineering major when...

1. Syllabus week lasts about an hour.

2. You are the perfect example of: “Choose between having good grades, a social life, or getting enough sleep to function properly”.

3. You think about changing your major at least three times a day, if not more.

4. If you go to sleep around 1 or 2 AM, you think “Wow, I’m actually going to bed early today!”

5. Your class schedule goes from 9 AM to 4 PM, unlike your non-engineering friends, who don’t have class like two days a week.

6. You skip a lecture, but only because you have to study for another class.

7. You spend your Friday nights working on assignments that you should have started the day they were assigned.

8. You have been working on a physics or programming assignment for seven hours and you’re still no where near being done.

9. Everyone hopes the exam average will be a 35%.

10. And everyone thinks the exam average of a 70% is really high.

11. You start laughing to yourself in the middle of an exam because you have no idea what is going on.

12. You studied for two weeks and still came out of the exam room, saying “Yup, definitely failed that.”

13. Your professors have a hard time turning on the projector, which is surprising because they’re teaching an engineering subject??

14. You know that after all the blood, sweat, and tears, it will all be worth it when you walk across the stage with your diploma. Because if you got through four years of engineering, you can practically do anything. :)

Hang in there, you're going to make it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
