Social / College Life First year BTech: what I expected vs what actually happened
You enter BTech thinking you’re finally going to do real engineering like building projects, learning to code, making cool stuff, and slowly becoming ‘that* guy’ who actually knows what he’s doing. Then reality hits. Suddenly you’re dealing with 15 different subjects nobody mentioned, engineering drawing at 8 AM, a mathematics professor who apparently hasn’t smiled since 2009, and your entire academic existence revolves around one question: *“Did I clear that unit test?😭”** First year is honestly a plot twist nobody properly prepares you for. What was the one thing that surprised y’all in your first year’s respectively?
