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.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
