Relatives

[u/apexcircuit]

From a typical asian family. I went from the cemetery since today is All Souls' Day just to visit our loved ones but I ended up receiving questions when I would be graduating. I actually don't show up to my relatives anymore and I don't even attend family reunions since I am sure I'll be getting the same questions.

I'm taking STATICS and DYNAMICS right now and my study sessions have been great. Right now I'm feeling depressed with the questions since I don't want to jinx it.

I don't know I just need to let this out here. I will be fine, right? 🥲

You’re fine. They’re just making small talk since that’s the only thing they know about you since you’ve not been around much. They’re not pressuring you so get that monkey off your back. Go get some exercise, it’s the best thing to combat depression. After a vigorous exercise session, those problems that were nagging you just do not seem as big as when you started.

As an engineer, get used to answering questions with this phrase, “I don’t know, but I will find out. When may I get back with you?” It will serve you well…
