I’ll answer anything honestly.

    Specifically stress. Haven’t had a single second to breathe in the past three months and I’m somehow still behind.

      Do you have good organization/time management? Trying to get organized can be difficult and make you feel like you’re spinning your wheels.

        I do not. My organization system is panic do the most urgent thing rinse and repeat.

        I’m aware it’s not ideal.

          No…it’s not. I got my ME 10 years ago now, and that place teaches you a lot of things that are insanely useful…such as, how to be smarter about time management and how to use your time more efficiently.

          Make friends with a few other engineers and do regular study groups. Make a “To Do” list and update every single time you sit down. It’ll lighten the mental load and allow you to gain a little perspective of where you are at with everything. SLEEP.

          I guarantee you have more time than you think.

            I second this. BS Mechanical Engineering at a military college better part of a decade ago. Having a checklist removes the mental load of sitting down and going “fuck what do I have to do?” and then remembering something two hours in that’s due in 20 minutes.
