    for the engineers suffering with depression

    uh so I just completed my first term in chemical engineering. I generally like
    to work my ass off in my calm, mellow, concentrated way till I get high off of
    whatever it is I am studying but despite this I was unable to achieve Dean’s
    honour list. I am so fucking depressed. Also I really really really want to go
    to grad school. Are they gonna care if I didn’t achieve my full potential in my
    very first term in university? Sometimes I just feel like dropping out to
    chemistry or philosophy or something.

    spill whatever you know that may be useful in this situation.

    much thanks and love.

    UofT mythbusters

    When you get off the Queen’s Park subway stop on the north-west
    corner and walk up the path to the med-sciences building there is a yellow hard
    hat bolted to the ground. What is this hat? Why is it there? What does it
    signify? and is there an engineering student bolted beneath it? I have been
    asking around but no one seems to know.
    please help

    back for an encore

    After completing a degree in biology, i’m going back to take a second undergraduate degree (in engineering). I have found that biology is pretty much useless unless you go into medicine (which i don’t want to do) or go into research (after completing masters and PhD – which is a long number of years). I found that I really have an interest in engineering but I feel like a screw up by going back to undergrad while most of my friends are headed off to their masters. So, am I a screw up, or does this happen to other students? Any advice to someone who is going back for a second undergrad degree (a couple of people told me to go to a psychiatrist because they thought I went insane for even considering going back and taking another 4 yrs of undergrad).

    engineers sticking with their own kind

    Hi. I know you’re sick of answering college questions, but I have some. Which college do most engineering students attend? I want to do engineering, but I don’t want to be stuck in a rez with no other engineering students around. Is there a certain college with a prominent number of engineering students or do all colleges have an equal mix of students from all faculties? New college looks like it’s located the closest to the engineering area but you mentioned in one of your previous posts that most phys ed students are at nc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
