What Nobody Tells You About Engineering School

A few things I've learned so far:

  1. Sleep is a part of work, do it like you're paid hourly.
  2. Set a deadline for everything to trick your brain into overdrive.
  3. Ask questions. No such thing as a silly question. (e.g. What was the name of the boat from the titanic?)
  4. Send thank you emails to your professors. Say thank you for putting up with my dumb questions.
  5. BIG ONE. Read a summery about your class a week in advance. I was expecting trigonometry to be about circles...
  6. Ai is a tool for success, laziness is a tool for failure. Treat it like a tutor, not a cheat sheet.
  7. Lastly, ask the saints for help. Most of them went to school just like YOU.
