Recently, my life has been dramatically changed by a realization that I am actually unable to be anything other than an engineering major at my university.  Literally.  There is no possible way for me to be anything else.   Despite letters of appeal, countless hours in advising offices, and my best efforts to change, I am simply just stuck.  While many (as well as myself) thought that this would have greatly upset me, because it has serious effects on the outcome of my life, I am actually surprisingly peaceful and content with the whole situation.  I attribute most of this to God for giving me a peace about the situation, some of it to the amazing friends I have made in the BME and engineering department in general, and the rest of it to my ability to still make fun of liberal arts majors

So today, I bring you a wonderful example of exactly the the kind of beauty and joy that saved me from a spiraling whirlwind of depression.  Here you go:

Why I Am An Engineer

Remember though folks, if you can’t laugh at yourself, don’t laugh at others.  So feel free and hit me with your best engineering jokes.  Never stop smiling, also make the best of every situation, and keep pressing on to your goal no matter what.  Don’t let people define your life for you.
