I am burning out. I WILL DIE if I keep going down this rabbit hole. I spend so much time studying for failure grades instead of spending time building my skills and get the failure grades along the way. 21 no partner. no job. no real skill to show off for. rip kids my age.
Only real investments for touching grass:
1. a good pair of ANC & Bluetooth headphones. not the most expensive options. just off the shelf to protect your ears.
2. a single pair of good shoes that makes you fly. you don't need 5.
3. a bag / backpack.
What nobody tells you about engineering is that you have plenty of time to study. a lot of stuff to get done yet you will end up procrastinating a lot because of will power.
Remember to check on your friends... some people might not be alright but they don't have anyone to talk to.
I thrifted an old electrical engineering textbook and according to Grok's Deep search Richard Flynn (the previous owner) contributed to Nasa at some point 🥵
just as you think you know a thing or two about engineering. Dynamic Response & Aerodynamics will make you revaluate your entire foundation.
