To be an engineer takes a certain and special kind of person; they have to be hardworking, dedicated, motivated, intelligent, and the best of the bunch.

To be an engineer means to spend countless nights studying difficult and confusing concepts, having no social life (unless you are really intelligent and can balance both work and school), and enjoying problem-solving problems that you never knew needed solving. Engineers are usually the most unique and nicest people you will ever get to know, and I myself am proud to study engineering.

If you study engineering, here are eight things you can relate and laugh about.

Your Friday and Saturday nights are spent either sleeping or catching yourself up on all the homework that is due the next week.

Baby studying

Due to taking 18 credit hours a semester, weekends become the perfect time to study and catch up!

A lot of your tests are open note but are pretty difficult, so you end up studying for them for 100 hours.

Study

Engineering test require thinking outside the box, not just regurgitating information. It's kind of hard to study for engineering tests, so studying can be an extra difficult task.

You're jealous of all your non-engineer friends who get to graduate in four years.

Wilson

Watching your friends leave you for the real world while you have one more year to complete is the ultimate pain and loneliness.

Half of your existence is spent stressing over getting a co-op or internship.

Friends

You go to every career fair and hand out your resume to anything that breathes because you NEED to experience what it's like to be a real engineer.

You may or may not have a superiority complex because you are studying to be an engineer, which is obviously the ~hardest~ degree out there.

Horse

If you study engineering, you may sit on a high horse and give other "easier" majors a hard time...oops.

Your motto changed from "aim high" to "C's get degrees."

This is fine

Engineering is about lowering your standards...all that matters in the end is if you pass.

You try to avoid looking at the classes you have to take in the near future due to the sheer stress of all the things you will inevitably have to learn.

Die

Thermodynamics? Differentiable equations? Mechanics? Circuits? Try not to look ahead and freak yourself out too much.

You love solving problems, and you know this hard degree will be worth it all in the end.

Perry

Engineering is one of the toughest degrees out there, but the journey can be very rewarding and fun. Just keep chugging away at your classes and you will see that shiny degree in no time!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
