That way you can either be completely drowning in work, or in booze. What a life!
I did enough drinking in my first year of university, and I wasn't even an engineer.
This is why it is better to wait a couple of years *before* going to university-especially if you are considering any form of engineering. No way would I have let some pack of hair lipped fools dye me purple, then have me eat marshmallows that some dude had previously wedged in his sweaty butt crack. Amazing what a couple of years of life experience can do to your perspective.
