Let's face it: life is hard. And as a female college student, I can attest to the fact that sometimes, being a girl doesn't make it any easier. With so many pressures to fit in, to look a certain way, to discover ourselves, and decide our futures at such a young age, it’s no surprise that we often find ourselves in a dark place. But, April was National Poetry Month, and if there’s anything that can help shed some light and truth on our lives, it’s poetry.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
