Being an advertising major is almost exactly what you would imagine based off what you see on TV — a bunch of people who sit around, be creative, drink, and give big fancy presentations on why hot dogs should be sold by women in bikinis. But before you can get to the days where you sit back and stare at your partner's shoes, you have to go through college. Here are 21 signs that you're an ad major.

1. You get excited about cool commercials/ads every day of the year.

If I see something really cool, I'll even take a picture of it. And they have giant books full of ads that we actually enjoy looking at.

2. Super Bowl commercials, AKA Christmas time of the ad world.

Merry Christmas to the ad world. Super Bowl Sunday means "Watch Commercials in Class Monday." Seriously, who doesn't love that? You can find a top 10 Super Bowl 50 commercials video here.

3. You groan when you have to come up with lines.

Three hundred lines in 36 hours on top of other classes, work and student orgs? No problem. *cries*

4. The little cringe you have when it's time to come up with thumbnails.

This is almost worse than lines if you're not on the creative side of advertising. It's probably still one of the worst things even if you are on the creative side. No one has time for this.

5. MRI means something completely different to you.

Yeah, you future doctors have your own MRI, but have you ever has a research database as cool as MRI+? Yeah, didn't think so.

6. You understand why ad people are portrayed as always drinking.

Trust me, you'd drink, too.

7. "Mad Men" is #goals.

And really, this is probably why a lot of people initially want to do advertising.

8. A new product/project gets you excited...

Oh, hell yeah. New product, new ideas.

9. ...Until you realize that you don't have any good ideas for it.

Is it time for the next project yet?

10. You talk about anything and everything except the assignment with your group.

"Did you see that video of little elephants crawling in people's laps? Oh, also I heard that the Starbucks in the Union is going to open soon. Have you seen 'Deadpool'? Say hi to your mom for me, even though she doesn't know me."

11. You wonder why you're buying art supplies.

I'm still wondering this.

12. You realize you can't draw, write copy and/or adequately get inside the consumer's head.

You can't be perfect at everything and you quickly discover what it is you can't do.

13. You never sleep.

No, like you don't understand. You literally never sleep. You give up sleep to do lines and thumbnails.

14. You're all in it together.

At least you're all suffering together.

15. You start placing your friends and family into target markets.

And soon, you'll start using them as your market profile and selling Oral B toothbrushes to your 12-year-old cousins and Scotch tape to your neighbor.

16. You revise pick-up lines to try to make them sound better.

It's like coming up with taglines, but in pick-up line form.

"Hey, baby. On a scale of one to America, how free are you tonight?"

"Wait, what if we said it like, 'How free are you tonight on a scale of I'm not to America?'"

"What about 'Are you as free as America tonight?'"

17. You sample your product you're assigned.

Selling Toaster Strudel? Go buy it. Selling Chapstick? Go test it. It helps, mostly. Kinda.

18. You follow Denny's on Twitter, and if you don't, you need to.

Seriously, they have one of the greatest Twitter accounts known to man. They're funny. They're social media #goals.

19. You think that you're really not creative until you have that one semi-decent idea.

Out of all 150 ideas I came up with, only one of them is usable enough for class.

20. You realize you have the opportunity to know what movies are coming out way before anyone else because you have to create the ads for them.

So much knowledge. So many movies.

21. You wouldn't trade it for the world.

You'll go insane, but really, we already are. We chose this world. We're here to stay.

Cheers to the rest of our insane fellow ad majors. We can make it through this.
