The 6 Types Of Engineers

You know you're one of them

The 6 Types Of Engineers
gmu.edu

As an engineer myself I would just like to say that I love my college and all my fellow engineers. I have friends who are each type of engineer and they are all fun. If I don't like you, it's probably because you're an asshole.

1. The Theta Taus

The Theta Tau brothers always hang out with each other. In every lecture, you will see an entire row of them sitting together with their sweatshirts and matching hats. They work together in labs, group projects, everything. I wonder if all the professional fraternities move like this. Most of them are super smart and super dedicated to engineering because honestly, even their social life is about engineering.

2. The other frat boys

You'd think that engineers aren't usually frat boys, but of course, lots of other frats have engineers in them. I'm not gonna talk much more about this because I'm sure you all know what frat boys are like and these engineers are pretty much just like them. For some reason, there are waaaay fewer girls who are engineers and in social sororities.

3. The Stereotypical Engineer


I think this is the person that pops into a non-STEM major's head when you say 'engineer.' That kid who is actually passionate about math and physics and who would spend all their time in Ingalls Engineering Library if they could. It's possible they own a t-shirt that looks like the above, or at least an official BU "College of Engineering" t-shirt. They love all their problem sets and are probably the ones who are messing up the curve in your class and the reason you failed chem 101.

4. The Stoners

Every college has its stoner population and ENG is no different. After all, engineering is pretty stressful and what better way for engineers to blow some steam than to smoke a bowl? These guys can do calculus high and honestly can't sit through that boring physics lecture or biology lab sober. They can probably also engineer some pretty cool ways to smoke.

5. The Slackers

These are the people who honestly couldn't care less about physics. They're engineers because they want to make good money after paying ridiculous tuition and because they did pretty well in math in high school anyway. However, they are still trying to get by engineering like they got by in high school and they're just passing all their classes and getting by.

6. The Unicorns

These are the rarest kinds of engineers. They are double majoring in engineering and music, getting 4.0 GPAs, networking with their professors, working two jobs and are still seen at every Allston party there is. We secretly hate these people.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
