Words of Wisdom (for current and future engineering scholars): Find a reason to attend classes. Whether it is a friend, a professor, or an interest in the subject of the class, find a reason to be present in the lectures. You may find it easy to skip and stay at home doing nothing until that catches up to you in an exam you are unprepared for or when you enter the workforce.
