Hi everyone!

I'm an undergrad in mechanical engineering and I quite frequently forget everything I learn in class right after I finish exams (not because I want to lol...it just happens)

I'm trying to better my intuitive understanding of mechanics and to apply it in real world applications so I can apply it to projects I want to work on (and to maybe feel better about knowing how/why simple mechanisms work). I feel as though going over questions that others post I actually retain more information than when I'm in class.

Hope to learn a lot from everyone!
