10 Signs You're An English Major

1. You own a blog

You may have created it your freshman year. While it was once a collection of moonrises and bad poetry, it has now graduated to decent poetry and pictures of your dog.

2. You wished you liked Shakespeare

You’ve tried to get into Shakespeare. It’s everywhere. It’s referenced at least once a class. But for some reason-it’s just so hard.

3. You're addicted to coffee

Writers like coffee: it keeps us going. It’s the thing that motivates us to keep going when we’re tired of re-writing the same sentence over and over again.

4. Essays>Exams

Yes please. Writing a 10-page paper is better than studying for a final exam.

5. You don't know what you're doing with your life

A teacher? Journalist? Dog-walker who writes poetry? There are so many options.

6. You take everything in

The conversations on a train, coffee spills, the orange-hue of the moon.

7. You were semi-emo once

And by emo, I mean you loved Panic! At the Disco and wore purple eyeliner.

8. You love lyrics

You’re always listening to songs and trying to decode its meaning.

9. You notice grammar errors

You don’t want to be that person, but something about the wrong use of “then,” makes you hold your breath.

10. You write for the Odyssey

This is the best way to get your creative thoughts a public audience.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
