Staying up until 2 a.m. is a weekly occurrence, because that seven-page paper isn't going to write itself. The nightly reading is enough to drive you insane, but at the end of the day you would go crazy without it. People who majored in science or math think that majoring in English is a joke, but if they new the amount of work we have on a daily basis they, would think differently. Sure, we complain about the amount of books we have to buy, all the papers we have to write, and the endless amount of pages we read, but almost all english majors are passionate about their field of study.

1. Books galore

There is no such thing as not having a book for a course. Oh, and with Lit courses, get ready to empty your bank account.

2. Reading

It starts day one: "Read this book and be able to talk in detail about everything by next class."

3. Correcting peoples texting

You're= You are. Your= possessive. They're= they are. Their= possessive. There=place. It's really not that difficult!

4. Papers

Every week. Every class. Good thing we're good at making things up.

5. Everyone asks you to edit their papers

This is the absolute worst. I don't have time to edit my papers, so what makes you think I have time for yours?

6. FUN reading

I always have four or more books that I'm reading, on top of school readings.

7. Science and math are terrifying.

I have waited two years to take the second part of biology, and I'm scared out of my mind. I couldn't tell you anything about these subjects, but if you need help with Shakespeare I'm here.

8. Everyone asks you how you're going to use your degree.

If you aren't going to teach, people thing you're crazy.

9. You refuse to retweet or share anything with grammar errors.

Why look stupid when you could just write it correctly yourself.

10. MLA has been drilled into your head

Forget Chicago and APA, MLA is all I know.
