Let's be honest: Everyone loves an English major. Between writing hundreds of papers and reading a countless amount of books, you have it made. And plus, no math ever!
1. You drink copious amounts of coffee.
You spend a vast majority of your time at the library or in a cafe doing homework, and the only way to survive is with a nice cup of coffee. Also, the barista at Starbucks may or may not be expecting you every day at noon.
2. You know the differences and how to properly use to, too, two, your, you're, their, there, and they're.
And you get really annoyed when other people don't. This is especially irksome during text conversations, where you often find yourself correcting people.
3. Five essays and 500 pages to read in three days?
No problem! One math test three months from now? Instant panic attack. No one likes math, let's be honest. It causes everyone to stress out.
4. You have a love-hate relationship with Shakespeare.
Yes, he's super famous and wrote a bunch of great plays and everything now is based on his work, but did he even really exist?
5. You're often asked to define things when speaking to people.
Apparently not everyone uses "skullduggery" regularly, nor do they know what it means.
6. Literary jokes/references make you ridiculously happy.
"The Simpsons" did a spoof of "A Streetcar Named Desire" and it's the best thing to ever happen.
7. Puns are extra punny.
Then again, who doesn't enjoy a good pun?
8. " Will you edit this for me?"
Top-five most asked question and the answer is usually yes.
9. The book is always better than the movie.
Books always have much more detail than can be accurately captured in a movie. Prime example: "The Giver" by Lois Lowry.
10. Symbolism is, in fact, everywhere!
Sure the car in "The Great Gatsby" is cool, but the gold color of the car represents Gatsby's wealth. Don't even get me started about what it means when he hits Myrtle with it, or when he and Tom switch cars.
