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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
