7 Things To Get The English Major In Your Life

As a brand-new English Major, I've found a lot of need for several things I didn't even think of to ask for Christmas. However, I decided to compile this list anyway, considering I have out of town relatives, and this is a cry for help. Please, if you don't have a present for the English Major in your life, consider one of these:

1. Paper. All the Paper.

Something I never thought I'd want was MORE notebooks, but a nice present would be a hardcover journal used for writing. You can find one on Amazon for less than $20.

2. Pens.

Another thing I never thought I'd be so obsessed with, but I LOVE GEL PENS. These are the best pens I've found so far, and they are not exactly great for a college girl's budget. Buy twenty of them and send them to me, please.

3. A Book of Prompts.

Sometimes writers get blocks, and prompts are a wonderful way to get the creative river flowing again. I love writing prompts. You can get a great book of prompts from Barnes & Noble.

4. Literary Clothes.

I read "Harry Potter" at age four. I went through an obsessive "Hunger Games" phase. I'm planning my wedding with a heavy "Lord of the Rings" theme. Buy me things that reflect my obsessions please. Thanks.

5. A TYPEWRITER.

Totally nerdy desire, but I've honestly always wanted a typewriter. Even if it never gets used for practical purposes, it's a fantastic conversation piece for your study.

6. A Freaking Awesome Book Wallet.

These are the best thing since sliced bread, and plus, they come from Etsy, so you're helping the little guy.

7. A Lovely Smelling Literary Candle.

Put your book-obsessed friends right into the story with scents stolen from our favorite books. Again, a great Etsy find.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
