Five hours of sleep is an accomplishment
You always intend to get at least eight hours like a responsible adult but those three assignments and two labs aren’t gonna get done themselves!
Survives solely on RedBull and coffee
Like every uni student, you’re gonna need some help to get through those long nights. Caffeine is truly an engineer student’s lifesaver.
You look like this during orientation freshman year
You’re so in love with being an engineering student, you actually start to bleed purple.
Mom’s home cooking has been replaced by Ubereats
For the next eight months, you’re on the Ubereats diet. It’s not quite like mom’s, but it will have to do! Besides, cooking for yourself is crazy talk; there’s no time for that!
The library is your new home
When there’s space, you’re pulling up a chair and stay in the library for hours on end. You’ve been here from when the sun sets to when it rises. You already eat and sleep here, so you might as well claim permanent residency.
You can’t go one minute without mentioning you’re an engineer
“What? That’s not me,” you say. Okay, sure; let’s say for you, this is not true. I guess when you’re in the best program and most valuable program it’s hard not to talk about it 24/7.
You know you’re in the wrong room if you see more than three girls
Face it- there’s only a handful of girls in engineering, so it’s no wonder you’d get a little suspicious.
Riding the bell curve
Who knows how many times you’ve barely passed an exam or an entire course because of a bell curve. Love it and respect it always.
Failed the midterm, but still manage to be top of the class
You may not be the best, but you’re better than everyone else. Props to you!
Have 2 midterms, 4 assignments, 1 presentation and 3 labs in one week
Maybe your profs didn’t get the memo you have other classes, but for the next
Essays drive you insane
They don’t come up often, but when they do, you can bet it will take a long time to write.
