His brain is as mathematical as his homework.

5 Signs You're Dating An Engineering Student

In This Article:

Engineering is a hard subject. We all know that. But dating an engineering student? That's an extreme sport (I'm kidding...kind of).

My boyfriend is an engineering student, and he definitely has his quirks. I have learned that these quirks are present in a lot of engineering students, and not just him. Engineering teaches a new way of thinking.

1. He's always trying to solve some kind of problem.

The first time I met my boyfriend, he was driving up to me with pliers in his mouth because he was doing a repair in his car. It explains a lot.

Every project, big or small, is exciting for him. Is the TV cutting out randomly? That's when he'll examine the cables and analyze the possible causes of the problem. I mean, I don't blame him because analysis of problems is a key part of his job.

2. His mind is as mathematical as his homework.

This is literally what his brain looks like while thinking about anything. When we have a busy day planned, he's definitely coordinating the schedule as mathematically as possible.

3. He procrastinates. A lot.

It's really hard to get him to ask for help on homework, so he's always waiting until the last minute to do things. Somehow he gets it all done. I have no idea how.

4. He's pretty good at designing.

Wait...what? Yeah. He can make drawings for almost anything, and he knows what will fit and what won't. Sure, he can't match colors, but that's my job.

5. You still think he's awesome despite his quirks.

https://gph.is/2NY8tAU

He thinks he's weird. Yep, he is weird...but I love all of it.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
