I can't fucking do it

>degenerate sink

>Be Mathematics undergrad student
>Graduate with a GPA of 3.71
>Apply to grad school in math; get accepted into PhD program
>graduate with MS with 3.73 GPA in a year and a half.
>during my coursework, discover control theory
>speak to my grad advisor, department and mechanical engineering department
>given my background, GPA and such, they're able to transfer me into the mechanical engineering department on the ''control theory'' track.

>It is the hardest set of coursework I've ever taken. Every class not only has examinations, but projects which take up a fuckton of time.
>Have to be in the laboratory doing shit I have no idea about.
>Reading MOSFET, other transistors and all of this other shit that seriously doesn't make one iota of a difference in my fucking life.
>Every engineering course is extremely difficult. There's not one course I feel comfortable in, where I can safely say I can get an A/B. Every semester is a struggle.

>Last semester, have a nervous fucking breakdown at the end. MATLAB stopped working at 7:00pm, the project was due at 10:00pm; had to go to the school library and use school computer to complete it.

>This semester, one graduate class takes so much of my time that I literally can't fucking do anything else or study anything else. On the exam, he gives a 7-link robot arm that we have to compose the DH table for, compute the linear/angular velocities for and then find the Euler-Lagrangian formulation. Question #1 on a 7 question exam sheet.
>Average is a fucking 56. This is "normal," according to other grad students.
>Decide to say fuck it, this is it -- last semester. Graduate with my MS, with it a smidge above a 3.0
>I haven't had a 3.0 since my freshman year of college where I wasn't acclimated to the environment yet.

Is it meant to break someone mentally? Granted, I don't come from an engineering background, but what the fuck is this?

Is addiction a disease?

Is calling alcohol addiction 'alcoholism' and treating it as a disease the correct thing to do?

The answer is "you don't think about it"

>studied chemical engineering
>56k in tuition debt
>been 6 months looking for a job until finally i got one as a chemical supply salesman
>can barely pay rent and have to choose between cable tv and internet

Thanks guys, thanks for the SHIT advice.
Gladly, helium tank is already in the mailbox.

1, 2, 3, 4

The numbers, 1,** 2, **3 and 4 are not the ordinary numbers that you know of--- in the human stupidity sense, but in fact, they are symbolic of something much more important. You may think of the number 1 as 1 apple, and the number 2 as 2 apples, and so forth. In this thread I will provide guidance as to what these numbers mean...

To begin I will explain using wisdom of the tongue, and second I will use science and philosophy; and to end I will use imagination and knowledge:


The Wit

If you are a good human:

•What is your number 1?

•What is your number 2?

•What is your number 3?

•What is your number 4?

I would answer to 1, my unborn baby.

I would answer to 2, the self.

I would answer to 3, nature.

I would answer to 4, the central nerve.
