Well I’ve read many versions of this article, but this one which I found on an orkut community seemed most comprehensive. And some of the points always give me a good laugh, so here!

You know you are a budding engineer when:

1. You’re proud to be in engineering but completely hate it.

2. You have a knack for math and physics but when in class you feel like its all over your head.

3. You hate chemistry and are pathetic at it.

4. You are awful at spelling and grammar or anything english related.

5. After about a month of college a C in half your classes dont seem that bad anymore.

6. You recognize all 4 girls in engineering.

7. Instead of studying you spend your week before finals doing something stupid like writing this.(This was a pending post since comprees)

8. You laugh when other students complain about taking 30 credits in a year.

9. You believe that your best friend is the FX 991MS.

10. It’s 2am and your computer has:-

* 15 firefox tabs open 4 of which or wikipedia looking up some term you should know, others include all your orkut, facebook accounts, some blogs and such junk

* Text editor open with some stupidly long lab

* at least 10 different adobe windows open with your lecture slides/ assignments

* amaroK/winamp open with metal playing

* Gaim/Trillian running with 4 chat windows, the four being the 4 girls in engineering.

* Download manager running with the latest movie/episode of 24/heroes/scrubs/PB.

11. You wish that your college would start giving out Arts degrees as well. (Or is it just me?)

12. You analyze everything you see without thinking about it.

23. Though you will never admit it, you know we’re all losers.

24. You would rather do mutivariable calculus than have to write a paper or memorize anything.

25. You might not know shit about computer but can write a 5 page C++ code with ease.

26. No matter how confused you are you’ll convince yourself a textbook isnt worth buying.
