This post is just a rant about my student life, you are not forced to read this, and feel free not to read it.
The holy week is nearly coming, actually, it is tomorrow. It is a tradition celebrated in the Philippines. But even though we have a 1-week break, we still have more projects to do at our school. For example, I can't still go home because we have to take a video for our project on our History subject. It is a short film showing the given topic to our group.
We also have a lot of plates to do with our design subjects:
Building Design
I am still at the architectural plan. I've done the floor plans but still need to work on the other side of the project such as the site development plan, cross-sections, perspective, etc.
I also need to work on the structural plan of this project. The worst is that it should be done in technical drawing and AutoCAD is not allowed. It takes a lot of our time and effort instead of doing other subjects.
Reinforced Concrete
While we are already done with the architectural and structural plan, we are now dealing with the analysis. We are now computing the loads of the structure and frame analysis.
However, we also need to spend a lot of our time in computation due to several frames in our structure. Imagine having 12 different frames and we have to solve for its load per beam.
We also need to deal with the shear and moment diagram per beam and the moment distribution on the frames. Nevertheless, I would say that I am 65% done in this project.
Steel Design
Lastly is this project. I would say that this is the most difficult subject for this whole semester and I am worrying about failing the subject. I haven't gotten a passing grade for every quiz and exam that we've done no matter how I thrive harder in studying.
I focus on the fundamentals and concepts but the questions that are given by our professor is hard to solve. I just hope that I can pass this subject so I can proceed to our OJT and internship.
Overall, this post is just a random rant about our academics. I still need to finish them no matter how many rants I've done. Sometimes, I also think that I should do them instead of complaining, but you know, sometimes, I feel burnt out and I need to rest. Sometimes, I don't feel like doing them anymore because no matter how hard I try, I still fail.

It is indeed challenging to do these things, I remember when I was in school juggling lots of things. It’s not easy but it does help you later when you are in the working world to know how to balance work out.
I hope so! I know that this will be helpful soon. Just also hoping that I can survive lol
Oh My God! I can totally relate. Being an engineering student is stressful and when you're complaining about it,you always here people be like "You chose the course yourself" "Engineering isn't the only hard course, give it a break" "you complain too much". Nobody gets it! This course is playing with our lives! Eating away at my mental health little by little and I can't do nothing but to watch it do so"
Project works can be really annoying and stressful especially if your group members aren't sufficient characters
This was me about two weeks ago,I was taking my exams and there was still particular subject,after writing the exam,it just had me broken. Bro,I couldn't read,I couldn't eat,j couldn't do anything. I wanted to die. But this particular day I said "nah, fuck it" and decided to watch an anime or movie to rewind. I was determined to do anything to take my mind off those exams cause I was sure if I didn't ease out, it'd do me no good. And there was also this day,out lecturer made us come to school on a Sunday to defend our project. Bro, I was like "What is really going on in this school? Someone tell me what is really going on this school". It doesn't get better,I won't lie to you and say it does and I probably have no right to say this as I'm still in 200 level. But it doesn't get better,just find ways to relax and take your mind off it for a while. Be happy,you can't be a depressed engineering student. You'll die cause it's a depressing course on its own😭
thanks bro! I think both of us relates with each other. What major are you taking?
I also watch movies and series when I feel tried and exhausted. We're totally similar.
Civil and structural engineering
How about you?
same! I am taking civil engineering, what year are you?
Year 2 fam😭
oh goodluck!
