Of politics and engineering

One does not simply study in a college withouth being exposed to the internal ugly political system. And just like the political system at the national level. It is just as bad and just as ugly. There is a famous line from the game Skyrim "I have seen enough political manuevering in my time I choose to remain above the petty squabbles of this clan" this line applies beautifully when applied in a internal college context of you find it's bad choose to stay away choose to rise above these petty squabbles of power dominance. In the long run they hardly affect way you do in college. Staying aloof is the best practice. However if politics is your thing then by all means do get your hands dirty but remember you probably should not be here 

Whoops- the money trail

Sitting in my class I just realised I have a blog that I have completely forgotten. Well anyways here is the Dealio. There are lots of opportunities there are in engineering. And by opportunity I mean money loads of it. These are not odd jobs at macdonalds no no. But I am taking about college festivals and competitions. Chances are if you came to engineering by personal choice then you have aptitude that places you above 99% of the rut that does enter engineering. And if that is the case then completions like these should be a breeze. Indeed since there are so many events and so much money at stake it is impossible not to walk away with some nice prize if takes the effort to participate. So get out to these festivals. Most people are intimated by the option and thoughts like it will be impossible to win etc should be cast aside. Festival are like the Vegas of engineering everyone is a winner. Even if you don't win (slim

Chance) you will walk away with a truckload of priceless experience. So go out there and compete. In my first year I managed to win loads of prizes in coding competitions,photography, extempore , debate etc i have lost count of the money also.
