13 Things that Only Engineering Students Will Ever Understand

Studying engineering is a lot like a rollercoaster ride – it starts steady, proceeds with the thrill of the highs and lows, the surprise of twists and turns, and ends with a sense of accomplishment. Sometime along the way, it makes you sick. But if you come to use this metaphor, once you just stay on track, hold on and move along – regardless of what happens after taking on the ride – you will certainly get to the end. The experiences throughout are worth remembering. If you are an engineering student or already an engineer, you will surely relate to these moments during that rollercoaster ride:
