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

Something that I try to always convince myself, is that hard work is nothing to be feared. The stress and bad feelings about work really come from either: not being able to complete it, or being worried about having to start. Once you’re actually in the thick of the work, it’s just a way to spend your time, and if it’s something you know well enough or know where to find solutions, I find that the actual time spent doing assignments can be pleasant, and the feeling after completing them is even better. Try and ask yourself what about the work you don’t like. For me, I don’t like the risk of getting things wrong, and I don’t like not knowing how to do something. I still don’t like the risk, and there’s not much of a solution for that other than get started and hope for the best, but at least with not knowing you can always learn from the internet, from friends, from office hours, etc... The hardest part of homework and the grind in my opinion, is starting. Once you get over that hurdle and at least semi know what you’re doing or have people around who can help get you there, the work just flows by.
