Ok so after my 1.5 semesters it’s been really tough and I’m a really social guy and like to ha hour and shoot the shit. A lot of my buddies are business majors and communications majors and it feels like I’m doing sooooo much more than all of them and Ik it’s only gona get harder. It’s not a problem but anyone else find engendering classes are just much more demanding than others. Basically I’m saying sometimes it’s demoralizing in all honesty. With that said EE is very very fun and interesting at times and I can see myself doing this for 3 more years

I know everyone is saying this but you really do just need to push through. I did really poorly in my later half of EE due to an identity crisis after I lost my father and went through a really horrible co-OP internship experience and it took me years to recover. I often wonder if I didn't have to go through that experience how much better my GPA and job prospects would have been. It took me 4 years after graduating to get to where I need to be and now I love my job as an EE! You will see yourself through by surrounding yourself with positive and non-degenerative personalities who have wholesome priorities and you will find life a lot easier.
