11 Things Purdue Engineering Students Say To Non-Engineers

Purdue.edu

Purdue is known for its engineering school, coming in the top 10 within the country. However, that's not all what its known for. Purdue has more than 200 majors and believe it or not, two-thirds of them are majors outside the field of engineering. If it weren't for us, Purdue wouldn’t be ranked seventh in the nation in fields like nursing, too.

1. "You came all the way from California and you are not an engineering major?"

Yes, I came from California and no, I am not an engineering major.

2. "Does your major have any easy classes I can use to boost my GPA?"

Ummmmm. Excuse me?

3. "So what's it like to take the easy math classes?"

You think my math is easy. Try sitting in my Management 451 class for me. Let’s see how you do.

4. "I wish I could have a social life, but I'm an engineer and don't have time for that."

Please, go away.

6. "I'm an engineer so, basically, I haven't slept for the past three weeks."

What was that? Sorry, couldn't hear you. Too busy sleeping.

7. "Oh you study _________? So do you have any hard classes this semester?"

Yes. All of them.

8. "Purdue is famous for engineering."

And nursing, business, and pharmacy.

9. "Didn't you drop out of engineering? Couldn't handle the pressure?"

Nope. Just hated it.

10. "You are so lucky you are not taking Engineering 131/141."

Sorry, too busy getting lucky for taking Econometrics.

11. Any generalized statement about how being a part of Krannert makes us inferior to the engineers.

As much as we love our engineering students at Purdue, we

could avoid the judgement when we announce that we are proud Krannert students.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
