A day in the mind of a student studying engineering.

Thoughts Of An Engineering Student
QualStaff

It is common belief that engineering is hard. If you're majoring in engineering, you know the struggle. If you're not majoring in engineering, you're tired of hearing your engineering friends complain about it. That is saying that they have friends, considering they rarely leave the building and are somewhat strange beings. Coinciding with popular belief, engineers are awkward people. This article summarizes the thoughts of these strange kids on a daily basis.

*alarm sounds at 7 a.m.* Already?! But it's only been 3 hours! I can snooze for 10 minutes.

*10 minutes later* Shoot, I can be a little late for class, right? I'll shower tomorrow.

*gets to class* I don't smell that bad do I? I'll just keep a one desk radius separating me from my classmates.

Tests back already? A 52?! Score, I got a C!

*can't keep eyes open* I should've stopped for coffee this morning.

"Can you understand this guy's accent?"

This makes absolutely no sense.

Technical writing? If you can't convince your teacher, confuse them.

Ah, COFFEE!

*2 problems later = 6 hours later* Finally done with my Diff Eq homework!

Oh man, I forgot to eat lunch again.

This will pay off in the long run, right? Right?

Why did I choose this major?

Is it acceptable to eat pizza for dinner four nights a week?

I wonder how much coffee a person can consume in one day...

I've probably had too much already...

I'll switch to Red Bull.

*still dozing off* There's gotta be something stronger than this, right?

*receives text message* "Hey, wanna go out tonight?" HA. HAHA. HAHAHA! Good one, pal.

I will sleep tonight. I will sleep tonight. I will sleep tonight.

Shoot, is it 4 a.m. already? Great I only have 5 hours left to finish this lab report. Looks like another all-nighter...

Hm, I wonder at what acceleration I would land if i jumped out that window...

Oh yeah, 32.2 ft/s^2.

Well no, I would have to take into account air resistance, drag force, etc.

Oh my, what am I doing with my life?

What was that noise? Oh, look there's other people still here too. They feel my pain.

I wonder if I'll be able to have a night outside of the Engineering Building soon...

Oh no, these calculations aren't working!

Oh well, looks like that's going into my source of errors.

Great, I finished! And only 35 pages this time! Maybe I'll be able to staple this one.

It's only 7 a.m. If I hurry I can get an hour and a half of sleep before I have to be back at school!

*REPEAT*

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
