HAHA! I know the pain... I'm working on two associates right now... then off to finish one of them off with a bachelor. 2 years down... probably 3 more to go depending on my financial situation...

Same here, got two months left to complete mechanical engineering in 4 1/2 years. Midterms blow, but hey its better than working in the 'real world' right now. Gotta agree with that.

lol... ive just finished applying to two colleges...

got one left to go... MIT :D

i know i wont get in but might as well right?

A little trick ive learned, apply for the smallest majors in MIT. like chemistry, philosophy, english, journalism. That way itll be easier to get in since they want some of those programs to grow and nobody goes to MIT for those. The moment you get there switch majors. Ive got a friend who got into georgetown with chemistry, the moment he got there he went to engineering.

Engineering is a b*tch. I mean, if you like it, go for it. I started in biomedical engineering, hated it so I switched to chemical engineering, finally realized after three years that I didn't want to be an engineer, left the engineering department entirely, and now will be graduating with two b.s.'s in zoology and biochemistry. Apparently I felt like I needed college to be as arduous and hectic as possible.

My roommate and good friend from freshman year came from a small town that didn't offer AP courses, so it will take him all this year to finish his degree in mechanical engineering. 5 years of engineering is tough, even for all the asians that go here.

That's why I love the School of Social Sciences, after four years I landed my B.S. and am now raking in $24/hour at my first post-graduate job Hell, I'll probably go back for a Master's at this rate!

That's pretty good. My dad got a "dual option" degree in both mechanical and electrical in 5 years, so I can understand how engineering can be rough.
I tried engineering by doing some internships with his company when I was like 15-17, but I realized it just wasn't for me. Not a fan of CAD, much less the actual blueprinting and endless checks for errors. Architecture is cool, but I wouldn't be great at it and I doubt I'd enjoy it all that much to justify going for it.

Instead, I'm doing a dual major in network security and information sciences with an emphasis on programming. So far it hasn't been too terrible, mainly due to the fact that the AP credits I got back in high school let me start my freshman year with 25 credits - which is 1 less than the minimum to be considered a sophomore.

Either way, while the work sometimes sucks, you got to love the atmosphere, right?
