English major humor is a unique little bubble of poking fun of old white guy's author headshots (Really, Joyce? The eye patch?) and laughing at puns and wordplay. In other words, it isn't for everyone. But it's the best feeling in the world to be "in" on an inside joke, and for English majors, this list will have you grinning like no old white-guy author ever did on the back of his book.

1. Combining college culture and Romanticism for the win:

2. This beautiful combination of a pun and a token "Old White Guy" who we all know and questionably love:

3. The cuteness of grapes meets the John Steinbeck book you pretended to read to look cool in high school:

4. This truth that is probably as relevant today as it was on the moors of England:

5. And, from our other favorite Jane, this little Valentine sure to snag you a Darcy:

6. But Shakespeare will have you thinking twice before sending out any lovelorn vibes:

7. This ultra-specific meme that references a single poem by the first fascist, intellectual political prisoner-poet you ever loved, Mr. Ezra Pound:

8. If you've ever gone through the agony of trying to read Joyce's "Ulysses," this one will hit home for you:

9. This more appropriate title for the masterpiece of the roaring '20s:

10. Pip was the guest of honor at this party, but let's be honest, you were there too:

11. This fight between two authors you'd pay big bucks to be able to witness (you know, after they've been brought back from the dead):

12. An homage to everyone's homegirl, Emily Dickinson. Thank god they cleaned out her attic:

13. And one just for you, you smarty-pants English major, you. The world is your oyster, and there are a million cliches out there just waiting for you to stomp all over them with your metaphor-making power:

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
