so as i was browsing through blogs today(yes.. FYI i have nothing better to do!!!), i noticed that almost every Indian student's blog i came across was an engineering student!!!... Engineering student trying hard to clear all subjects and studying at the very last minute for exams.. vivas.. lab tests.. submissions... the works!!!... why are we engineers-to-be so drawn to blogging??.. because we have loads to bitch about??... and believe you me in engg. colleges throughout India.. shit happens!!!... the faculty sucks.. dont understand ur problems.. are hell bent on making ur life miserable... the majority of the crowd makes u want to puke.. the guys r just trying to score... the girls are just trying to get noticed... everyones living a fucking lie... double standards... bitching... conspiracies... plans... total saas-bahu saga!!!... but thats besides the point... dont we engineers have anything better to do... we always have that odd assignment that we could have done or work in the lab on our own(ya rite!!) rather than copy someone else's work... we rant about not getting enough time for submissions and we usually waste our time doing the not-so-important things... why dont we just get a life and take engineering seriously rather than the one night stands we have with our books the night before our exams??...
i can answer for myself... because i dont give a fuck!!!... because i know that whatever im being taught in college is a complete waste and is something thats never going to help me... because i know that im going to get placed in a decent company before i pass out of college without having to slog through my college years... because i know i can handle the last minute studies and still manage to scrape through with average grades... because i know that even if i do study all semester long and get top grades its not going to make any difference other than maybe get me a certificate... because thats the way i am... because i dont think that i need to prove to anyone how good i can do in college... because i would rather enjoy my life so i can look back with no regrets!!!... because this post made absolutely no sense and im still typing...


I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd,
You're gonna hear my voice,
When I shout it out loud..

It's my life,
It's now or never,
I ain't gonna live forever,
I just want to live while I'm alive,
It's my life!!!

... will say three things here.

One.
I love you.

Two.
Was this post inspired from me?

Three.
Damn right shit happens. The faculty is non existent at times, the ones that are there, have been told to give you a preview of hell, guys like me try to score...with girls and in my report card.
anything better to do??? of course not..thats why we are engineers.
Take engineering seriously? Of course we do...you think working at the last minute is not being serious?

do you know how much skill it takes to "engineer" a study pattern that can cover the entire syllabus in a day...believe me. Engineering is not for the faint of heart.

We wait till the last minute because thats how we love to live life. Enjoy it. And when the deadline arrives, come up with a plan to finish the work. Of course..this isn't foolproof always..but works most of the time.

heh...reading this post makes me rethink about why on earth am I trying so hard to pass this semester.
i can be doing..pretty much anything besides engineering...feels like I am wasting my life there... so why continue it?
Its like..being in a pit. Why keep digging more and more instead of trying to get out. Why go deeper?
well...because there is treasure at the bottom.

All the bitching and whining..it makes the graduation all the more special.
When you finally give that last exam ...get your result..get whatever letter of recommendations you need from your college...make sure that you won't need anything from college ever again...
its that time when you can proudly thank your professors for wasting 4 years of your valuable time on trying to learn crap you will never ever need.

I can write more here..but I guess its enough for now.

so dude,
which branch are you in? tronix? telecom? comps?

@ standbymind

there r weirdo's everywhere!!!... like i always say, im IRREVERSIBLY SCREWED!!!... lol :)


@ hershey

i wasnt complaining about the one night stands with the books/photocopied notes/lecture slides etc etc... it is awesome fun... and better still if ur in a hostel... the only thing engineering teaches anyone is time management and tackling emergencies... also read incomplete submissions and no excuse for them!!!

its such a funny thing.... while we r in college we cant wait to get out of tht shithole... and as ur farewell approaches, all u think about is how good college life has been... the irony of life... but i guess we all have friends to thank for that... all in all engineering rocks!!!... more so if u can figure out a way to get all ur work done!!!

and as for the post being inspired.. its the usual rant of any NORMAL engineering student... and i guess my definition of normal are the not-so-normal types in the sort of college im in!!!...

by the way im doing info tech... u??

yea engineering rocks.
and oh..sorry about before.. figured you were a guy...never seen girls rant about engineering you know...they seem to..*ick* enjoy it.

you are a rare type. Nice.

am doing biomedical engg.

hey..!! nice post..! but m happy to tell u that even though m not an engineering student..in fact m the polar opposite,a desgin student...we all have that one thing in common..waiting until the last moment to finish..!!
