science technology and culture

just say you're INTA or STAC. it doesn't make it worth any less or more than what it is when you say out the abbreviation. and any which way you say it, the engineers are still going to look down on you.

because what i hear is "i'm an international affairs and modern languages major, and i sound like a douche."

it's a fact of life. the number crunchers never really understood the beauty of a tennyson poem, nor have ever had the inclination to. or, apply that to anything liberal arts related.

while you're at tech, numbers reign supreme. kids are too busy doing derivations to understand just how hard it is to make meaning of something that doesn't have an answer, a margin of error, or a confidence interval. how the blind would mock the deaf, and vice versa. but that's not your job. you chose to come to an engineering school; that's on you. nobody deluded you into thinking you would be respected. you shouldn't be ashamed, and i know you are, because we're prideful little pieces of shit. you're in the wrong place, it's true. but that doesn't make what you're studying less difficult or worthwhile or valuable than that of a BME or AE.

so fuck 'em.


but seriously stop saying it out, you really do sound like douches
