I had 2 senior years too. We called them "super seniors". I also switched majors after my sophomore year, chemE was too damn confusing.

Between Organic Chemistry and Thermogoddammits, I just didn't understand it. As I was approaching the 2nd semester of my sophomore year, my adviser told me to take his class. If I didn't like it, then I wouldn't like chemE as a profession. Two weeks into said class I transferred to civil.

when I was in the Army I did a secondary MOS as a 54B (NBC Specialist) NBC standing for Nuclear Biological, Chemical.. so I thought I would get a Chem E degree in college, until I looked at the courses required and realized I wasn't that smart....

That part did suck, I really enjoyed some of upper level material transport chemE classes. Being able to explain/determine how quickly something will rust, or the impacts of adding all those cold toppings to a hamburger's internal temperature. If we would have gotten those real world scenarios in the lower level classes I think more people would have enjoyed it or at least understood it better.

Yeah, way to theoretical for me. If I had stayed in chemE, I would have had to re-take Organic chemistry. I had no issues in the lab, but the lecture was hell.

That time of year again. Got the ridiculous supply lists for a 7th grader, 5th grader and 2nd grader.
2nd grade list was fine, aside from the inflated numbers to supplement the kids whose parents don't bother getting supplies.
5th grade list would have been fine except for the 16 dry erase markers. WTF does a 5th grader need 16 black dry erase markers for?!?!
7th grade list was most of the usual...pencils paper folders, oh, and a CHROMEBOOK. Way to just toss that on the school supply list like it's a spiral notebook. Emmett already has one, but it's one that his mother got, and knowing her, she'll tell him he can't use it for school, i.e. have it with him when he's going to be at our house half the week, because she bought it.
Fortunately, mom is a retired (and still a substitute) teacher so she knows where to get all this stuff so the lists are taken care of already.

Although I have found it funny and annoying that colleges send a “list” of stuff entering freshman need also - and maybe we can all related but at an engineering only college - OCD personality freshman - doesn’t understand when I tell him he doesn’t need a few things in this list (or they are not critical) they just want the list “checked off”
Some things I found funny on the list:
Iron / ironing board
Safe
Small vacuum cleaner?
Microwave
.......
I mean the kid couldn’t find the vacuum cleaner in our house if I asked him to find it - but he wants to buy one for a dorm room that probably won’t get cleaned until May 2019....

I was glad we got our roommate assignments ahead of time at both schools I went to. We conference called in advance so we didn't bring duplicate ****.
