English majors go through a lot, and this list covers 10 of these struggles in life at their finest moments.
1. You're often found in a Starbucks, typing like a madman.
Four-hour-long, caffeine-induced essay writing sessions are not uncommon.
2. Kindles are scary, and when you’re forced to use one it’s uncomfortable.
Give me pages! Give me substance!
3. If you had a dollar for every time someone asked if you were worried about not making money, you’d be able to pay off your student loans — twice.
My major isn't pointless, and no matter what career path I take, I'll still be doing what I love.
4. Belle's library was all you wanted growing up.
All I want for Christmas are a few thousand novels to dig into.
5. Your friends are getting tired of you constantly correcting their pronunciation.
I'm sorry about this one; language is only my livelihood.
6. The one math class you have to take in college was the worst class of your career.
The one case where adding words makes a subject worse.
7. You might exaggerate a little.
Or a lot, depending on how extravagant the story needs to be.
8. You’re currently working on a novel, and you have been forever.
I promised myself that I would finish it one day. Today is not that day.
9. The new MLA format released ruined your day.
Why does this have to change every other month? I can only relearn formatting so many times.
10. When you meet another English major, there's an unspoken bond.
We're all in this together.
