Surviving engineering, math & physics
at college while working?
It's not impossible.
I'm doing it.
Join me as I document my daily battle against impossible equations, sleep deprivation, and time poverty in my daily newsletter - where I share exactly how to master STEM subjects with criminally limited study hours through real-time strategies, embarrassing stories, and mathematically improbable solutions.
Subscribing to my daily emails gives you instant access to "Dual Life Mastery”: the 10 principles that transformed me from desperate working student into an academic outlier who passed exams that 68% of full-time students failed.
Plus daily emails with strategies, real-life stories & inappropriate humor from a statistically improbable Italian student
Working STEM Student is a daily "edutainment" newsletter where I document my battle against time entropy……while desperately trying not to collapse under the weight of impossible integrals, a full-time job, and the constant temptation to throw my laptop out the window.
This daily war chronicle is the funniest, most honest, and brutally effective content on (STEM) college survival you'll ever read.Written by someone who's proving it's possible to do what 68% of your full-time classmates have spectacularly failed at.

DUAL LIFE MASTERY:
The 10 Principles Every Working STEM Student Must Follow To Ace Exams Despite Having Less Time To Study Than Traditional Students
Subscribe today to the "Working STEM Student Dispatch" newsletter and you'll instantly receive as a bonus the 10 COMMANDMENTS that allowed me to DOMINATE my first college semester with excellent grades while working...When 68% of my "full-time" classmates FAILED at least one exam!This isn't a guide - it's a MANIFESTO for survival and success that you can read in just 10 minutes and implement TODAY.These principles transformed my life from desperate working student to academic outlier with time for study, work AND social life.While your classmates suffer dedicating themselves ONLY to studying, you'll master the art of doing more with less, without burnout and with results that will leave everyone speechless!
Here's a taste of what you'll discover inside:
- The only two approaches a student can have toward college - and which one will get you to graduation with a degree in your pocket and make you a real mathematician, physicist, engineer, etc...- The only productivity hack sold by YouTube gurus that actually works... except it's not a hack and it's been working for millennia.- The "if... then..." statement that gives you an instant answer to the infamous question "should I go to class?"- The reason why you shouldn't compare yourself to your classmates (spoiler: statistically speaking most of them are complete idiots)- This nonsense habit that every single one of your classmates have (and I'm sure you have it too) is murdering your mind's capabilities to study and be great - stop it right now!- The common sense way to memorize every single formula you're ever gonna need in your career as a student and in your life.- The only way to really learn and 'get' deep math and physics concepts (note I didn't write 'the best way'? It's by design - it really is the only) - plus a real life example of how I used it to learn in less than a minute one of the most important ideas in modern maths.- And much, much more...

In Less Than 3 Minutes Of Average Read-
"wait a second... do you mean arithmetic average, median, mode or wh..."
.......
Here we go again... OKAY...
In less than 3 minutes of
ARITHMETIC MEAN READING TIME
You Can Expect:
α) Practical guides that will allow you to optimize your time - because we both know you have little of it, actually...
β) Proven strategies for balancing study, work, and that exotic concept called "personal life."γ) Step-by-step instructions on how to understand fundamental concepts of mathematics, physics, and every other scientific subject in an extremely deep way.δ) But above all... My personal experience as a working student, with regular updates on embarrassing moments, failures, lessons learned, and occasional moments of glory!ε) Inappropriate humor about the working student's life, because if we don't laugh, we cry.η) BONUS: Ruthless unmasking of productivity gurus who want to sell you "the 3 foods from the Himalayas that allow you to instantly remember what you read." (Seriously? Who believes that eating an exotic berry will instantly mutate your brain and turn you into Terence Tao? Please...)λ) WARNING: I won't limit myself to talking about study and work. I'll take the liberty of telling you about my misadventures, my reflections on life, and occasionally about that professor who accidentally deleted the lecture file from his PC and started looking for it in his bag (true story... one of the best teachers I've ever had).
My promise: emails you'll actually read, not mathematical spam.
From the Laboratory of a Student Who Wasn't Supposed to Make It
My name is Luigi and I'm a statistics student in Italy and my story isn't that of a typical student: I started university at 24, six years after my peers.Six years spent between panic attacks about the future, agonizing doubts, and a constant sense of inadequacy.In a family where everyone has been an engineer for 5 generations (except for my rebellious great-great-grandfather pharmacist), being "the one without a degree" was like showing up to Christmas dinners with a flashing neon sign that read "FAILURE".But then I grew some balls and enrolled. Because, after all, time passes anyway.And when I finally announced that I would be enrolling in university, the enthusiastic silence lasted exactly until I uttered the word "statistics".Five generations of engineers simultaneously calculated the probability that I had been switched at birth... But whatever 😂I understood something fundamental: STEM university isn't about "getting a degree" but "becoming another person".You shouldn't aim to graduate in mathematics - you need to become a mathematician.These are two completely different things.With this mindset, and despite working while studying, I developed a system that allowed me to...
DEMOLISH Three STEM Courses in My First College Semester... While My "Traditional Student" Classmates FAILED In Droves!
I'm talking about Calculus 1, Linear Algebra, and Computer Systems 1.Not exactly courses you pass by scrolling Instagram between lectures.68% of my classmates - full-time students with no other responsibilities - failed at least one of the exams that I passed.All while I was working, so I definitely had less time available for studying.It's not magic.It's a "scientific" system - not that guru nonsense telling you that taking 15-second breaks during study allows you to study 35% faster.It's a method that works in the real world when you have very little time available.This newsletter is my way of sharing this system step by step, while facing the same obstacles you're facing, all with a tone that won't put you to sleep like the last Differential Geometry lecture on Friday afternoon.

✅ You're one of us if:
✅ You consider coffee an "essential macronutrient" and your blood is now more caffeine than hemoglobin✅ You laughed bitterly when someone suggested "sleeping at least 8 hours a night" (what is this thing called "night"?)✅ Your calendar looks like the battle plan of a world war, with time conflicts that would make a management engineer cry✅ You've developed the almost supernatural ability to transform a 5-minute lunch break into a Calculus study session✅ You've found yourself explaining Linear Algebra concepts to clients because you no longer know how to talk about anything else
❌ Do NOT subscribe if:
❌ You think the biggest difficulty in a student's life is deciding which Instagram filter to use for the photo of your color-coded notes❌ You consider "intense studying" to be reading a chapter while checking TikTok every 30 seconds❌ Your idea of "time management" is hitting the snooze button five times every morning❌ You have ever sincerely uttered the phrase: "I don't understand why people find mathematics difficult"❌ You have more free hours in your day than equations to solve (who are you, Einstein reincarnated?)
