Let us not forget the horrific tragedy that befell our country that day and the innocent lives that were lost.  Let us not embolden our enemy by allowing us to live in despair.  Let us prove that we are still the beacon of hope and liberty in the world that they envy and seek to destroy.  Let us not forget those that have sacrificed their lives to ensure those freedoms.  We are Americans.  We will not tremble.  We only overcome.

Actual advice on how to study for engineering courses from a first year student

Okay so I just finished my first semester in university and lets just say I’ve got to change my whole learning/studying style to be able to survive here. Here are some of the things I’ve learnt to do and will be doing in second semester:

1. Start backwards:

 I highschool, you try to learn the subject by going to class, listening to the teacher, then going home, reading the textbook, then doing the homework, then making notes, then studying for the final. In engineering, you have to do this backwards: You will realize that you are going to be basically teaching yourself the content one way or another soon before the finals, so better start now. First, go through the past exams and past papers - make a list of all the major topics covered (example: if in an electrical circuits course, a question on a past final exam is “find the equivalent circuit using thevenin’s theorem” then write Thevenin’s theorem as a topic to be learned). Then go on youtube and find videos that explain each of these topics to you and make rough notes on these topics. (Reblog if you want me to make a master list of all the youtubers that teach engineering really well). Then go through he textbook and find sample questions not he theorem/topic you learnt off of youtube, and solve them. Then write your doubts in a notebook. Then go to class and have two notebooks open : one where you are taking notes of what the prof is saying, and one which has your practice problems solved, and see if the prof clarifies your doubts in the lecture. The lecture should be review of what you learnt at home!!!! Then, after class go to the prof and clarify any doubts. Then go home and make final notes on the topic. I like to make notes on cue cards (more on this later). Then go back to the final exam and see if you can solve the problem.

2. Make cue cards:

I like to get index cards and write a short note on how to solve each type of question I am likely to see on a final exam on each question card. Example: one cue card for “how to find resistance using wheatstone bridge” . I link the cue cards with a clip and its easier to carry the around and study.

3. Get pretty notebooks and organize your stationary. Its easier to stay focused when everything is pretty.

All other houses of Hogwarts:-shining eyes- what? What is it?

Slytherin: Since I’m almost perfect, I’m blaming this on you all

them: what languages do you know?

me: visual basic, python and a bit of java

Funny how we regularly turn down job applications for law student internships for having a typo in their cover letters but having three different women publicly accuse you of sexual assault doesn’t stop you from being hired for the highest possible legal job in the country

MBTI as Monty Python and The Holy Grail Quotes

INFP: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

ESTJ: Now go away or I will taunt you a second time

ENFJ: (After noticing that he has no limbs left) All right, we’ll call it a draw.

INFJ: Our King? Well I didn’t vote for you!!

ESFP: Your Mother was a Hamster, and your Father smelt of Elderberries!

ENTJ: Oh, stop your whining. First we kill him, then we have biscuts and tea.

ISTJ: WHAT is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

ISTP: Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out!

ISFJ: Oh, look. There’s some lovely filth over here.

ENTP: Help, I’m being oppressed. Come and see the violence inherent in the system.

ESFJ: ‘Tis but a scratch.

INTJ: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony.

ENFP: “What is your favourite colour?”

Red!… I mean blue! (falls down the crevice screaming)

INTP: It’s not a question of where he grips it! It’s a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.

ESTP: What are you going to do, bleed on me?

ISFP: On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.
