Friendship Ended With Newton

Nothing says "physics student desperation" quite like betraying Newton for Lagrangian mechanics right before finals. That moment when you realize F=ma is just too mainstream and you'd rather solve problems with energy instead of forces. Lagrangian mechanics lets you skip all that vector decomposition nonsense with a single elegant equation. Newton's getting crossed out faster than my research funding application. Pro tip: if your professor asks why you abandoned Newtonian mechanics, just tell them you've reached a higher plane of mathematical existence.
