A girl can dream rite

Is it even possible to survive another semester in this engineering pressure cooker? These textbooks are thicker than my future and twice as dusty. Professor Mehta lectures like he's reciting the Bhagavad Gita at warp speed on a double espresso. Half the stuff goes right over my head, and the other half gets drowned out by the never-ending group project arguments. Speaking of arguments, did I mention Riya? She's brilliant, don't get me wrong, but her political takes are sharper than a calculus exam. We were supposed to be working on the damn design, not dissecting the merits of nationalization!

And don't even get me started on the whole "girl in engineering" thing or the Tags like "cute explanation girl" Plus everyone comes to for help (because apparently girls can't understand complex engineering concepts themselves).

between the sleep deprivation, the endless chai, and the micro-aggressions, I just want to scream! Ugh, rant over. Maybe someday I'll short-circuit to a vacation island. A girl can dream, right?
