English majors are a breed all by themselves. They are a special group of people that not many people can fully understand unless you are an English major or English education major. Those who do not understand the ways of the English major give a lot of crap to those in the major. What those haters say isn't totally accurate or true (here is an article of what English majors are sick of hearing if you are confused). I decided to compile a list of what makes majoring in English so much fun to show anyone who doubts it how wrong they are.
1. If someone asks a math question, you can respond with, "I'm an English person."
If you give a wrong answer, it is perfectly justified.
2. You can do weird English things and no one questions it.
They just think about it forever
3. You can judge people for bad grammar.
You are just doing a public service because you are an expert and everything.
4. In a group project, you are always assigned to write.
So you always know that it is perfect.
5. You can use awesome vocab words and people just look at you in awe.
It may be pretentious, but it sure is fun.
6. You weirdly know about a time period just by the authors you've read from that period.
Social issues, gender roles, socioeconomic problems, you know it all.
7. You get to have spirited debates about the Oxford comma.
It needs to be there.
8. When you watch a movie based on a book, you can figure out all of the inconsistencies in your head.
And in your heart know that the book is always better than the movie.
9. You can write your way out of anything.
You may not know what your exam question is asking, but you can write something long enough and well-written enough where it won't even matter.
10. Journals and books are super cool. No matter what anyone says.
This one is self-explanatory.
11. You find weird symbolism almost everywhere you go.
Most of the time, you are just making up the symbolism in your head.
12. English majors are some of the dorkiest and most fun people you will ever meet in your entire life.
