How have you guys stopped watching YouTube, stopped watching Netflix, and stop having any distractions? How do you go full throttle with work and learning without any distractions?

I have been here for long enough that I know there's no way to live life without any regrets. I feel like regrets are demonized to an exorbitant extent and it's largely unfair. They teach you how to live life better and compel you to constantly improve yourself. Living a life without regrets is impossible and isn't helpful in the long run.

For the people that were heavily involved with research throughout college, how impressive were their resumes?

When you guys apply to jobs/internships via Linkedin do you guys reach out to the alumni network there and get a referral or do you guys try to apply as soon as possible? How do you guys split time on projects and applications?

I am honestly beyond impressed but I don't understand how some people get 4.0s, have so many impressive internships, certifications, research, and work experience under their belt while I am basically struggling to do any of those things. I am taking summer classes that aren't as time intensive so I have more time to spend towards improving my portfolio but when I am taking a full course load in a normal semester I honestly can't manage everything all at once. I took 19 credits in the spring and my academic performance wasn't as strong as I would have liked. How do these people excel at everything?

I was wondering if a personalized cover letter to each job helps maximize results, to those that are highly successful in this arena. I was also wondering how long you guys are spending on applications daily.

I am an electrical engineering student looking to make money. I lack job experience and I do need an income and I am willing to work at any time with all availabilities. I was wondering how hard it is to obtain a job in this industry and whether you can make a sizeable amount of money in this line of work.

I am an electrical engineering sophomore that can tutor Differential Equations I, Calculus I,II, III, Linear Algebra, and ESL.

I have no work experience, and I am an electrical engineering student. I haven't managed to get the biggest grades, and I am so behind in terms of work experience and internships. I need a job and I am willing to work as long as possible over the summer. I am currently taking summer classes,but I know I need to make something of my life. I feel completely useless. I am sending out job applications but hearing about people sending 400 applications and hearing nothing scares me and makes me feel even more hopeless. It hurts that I already feel like I failed from the very beginning of my existence.
