Life Of An English Major, As Told By 'Twin Peaks'
Welcome To Twin Peaks

English may not be the hardest field of study in college, but it sure can beat you down.

English majors know the struggle of reading and reading and reading, and writing and writing and writing. It can sometimes feel like you're drowning in paper. However, despite the workload, us English majors know that it's a field both wonderful and strange.

If there's one show that understands, it's "Twin Peaks":

1. Picking up your pile of books for the semester

2. Hoping your professor isn't addicted to symbolism

3. When the professor says, "So, we're gonna watch a movie"

4. Handing in a paper at 11:59 p.m.

5. When the professor asks you for your opinion:

6. When your book is now 99 percent sticky notes

7. Trying to keep it together after writing for 48 hours straight

8. When you know you'll be reading all night

9. When you realize you forgot to print the works cited

10. Experiencing the outside after spending days in the library

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun.
