25 Thoughts All Engineering Students Have

In This Article:

It brings the highest highs and the lowest lows. Test averages that cause shudders, assignments that cause tears, and there is a very real possibility that four years just isn't enough. Engineering. Sure it's tough, sure it scares some people off, but anybody who has ever been an engineering student has had at least one of these thoughts. Maybe even all of them.

Why am I doing this to myself?

Sometimes it feels like all this pain and frustration doesn't really have a silver lining.

Money. That’s why I’m doing it.

I mean who can argue with those high starting-salaries right? And the thought of being able to pay off student loans in a decent amount of time, I can't turn that down.

Why won’t this just do what it’s supposed to do there is nothing more I can change to make it-

Yep there it is that's what's supposed to happen.

Finally no more errors!

I'm an idiot.

No I am a GENIUS!

I am untouchable. I am the master of engineering.

Nope definitely an idiot.

I spoke too soon.

50% on an exam has never felt so sweet.

Should I change my major?

The class average was a 46%, does that mean the professor is bad or that we're bad?

Sometimes I just have to wonder a little bit.

Is this really going to be worth it?

When am I going to use this?

Probably never. And yet I still have to learn it. Someone explain that please.

Why can't my professor explain anything in a way that makes sense?

Are they secretly just as confused as I am?

Five years is an acceptable timeline to graduate in.

Realistically, five years and one semester isn't too bad either I suppose.

I hate labs.

Labs are just the worst.

It must be nice to have free time.

What is going on in this class?

Chances are nobody else knows either.

After I study for this exam I only have three more to study for and five assignments due tomorrow!

So close to being done, but yet so far.

3:30 am is an acceptable bedtime, right?

Or maybe just no sleep at all? I can catch up during the weekend.

Who decided that I needed to take all this calculus?

I either aced that exam or failed it there is no in between.

What is sleep?

I remember the nights when I used to get more than three hours of sleep. That was the life.

I don't understand anything I am just a ball of confusion.

This is probably the hardest I'll ever work in my life.

I am not going to give up.

Enough said.

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.
