It's Always Awkword
The eternal engineering student paradox! You're supposedly smart enough to calculate complex structural loads but too dumb to realize you've signed up for years of sleepless nights and caffeine addiction. Engineering students live in that special purgatory where everyone assumes you're a genius, while you're frantically Googling "how to convert units" for the fifth time that day. The honest response is what makes this golden - that moment of clarity when you realize your calculator has become your brain's external hard drive.

Sometimes The Truth Hurts
The existential crisis of every physics student captured in four simple panels! First declaring "I'm a physicist" with the confidence of someone who just survived their first quantum mechanics exam. Then comes the crushing self-doubt that haunts every scientist from undergrad to tenure: "Are you good enough to call yourself that?" But the punchline is what makes this painfully accurate - being a physicist isn't about brilliance, it's about being "too dumb to stop" banging your head against impossible problems until something finally makes sense. Newton didn't discover gravity because he was smart; he discovered it because he was too stubborn to give up when the math got weird. The perfect encapsulation of scientific persistence: not genius, just pathological determination in the face of repeated failure. Graduate school in four panels!
