Why can I easily swim a mile, but barely run a mile?

Swimming is widely considered harder than running because of the water resistance and breathing restrictions, so it would make sense for me to be decent at running due to my swimming ability. However, this is not the case. Would this be due to me just not knowing how to pace myself/knowing the proper breathing techniques while running? Let me know what you guys think and if you can relate.

I understand the dark grids on the back make it so the grid on the front is shown very faint, so it doesn't get in the way of calculations. However, this makes it so you can't really use the back for calculations, which is a waste of paper. My question is, why don't they just print engineering paper so the grid is very faint on both sides?

Hello guys! I am finishing up my freshman year of college and need to decide on my major. I am split 50/50 on whether I should choose Civil Engineering or Environmental Engineering. Here is a ranking of my priorities for choosing my future profession:

  1. I am not bound to a desk and do field work regularly (Will this more likely happen if I am a Civil or Environmental Engineer?)

  2. There are a decent number of job opportunities (Is Environmental Engineering growing enough as a profession to match Civil Engineering in terms of job opportunities?)

  3. It caters to my interests (I prefer physics over chemistry, though I still do enjoy chemistry)

  4. I help make the environment cleaner

It would be great if you guys could give me some insight on which major lines up the most with my professional priorities.
