I can normally walk across campus and name all the English majors because, well, there's a select few of us. Villanova University is a small school so, to be fair, it's not hard to know most of the people in your major. It is especially easy though, when you're are an English major. Here are the tell-tale signs (yeah, that was a Poe reference).

1. You always carry a notebook and pen with you in case you get inspired on-the-go.

You never know when inspiration will hit you, not having something to write it down with is heartbreaking.

2. You prefer pen and paper to laptops.

Let's be honest, pen and paper is so much more satisfying. Except for ten page papers. Except for then.

3. Have you read *insert book here* before?

You haven't??? BUT you're an English major! You're suppose to have read every book ever.

4. You're probably reading five different books at once.

American Gothic class? Check. Ways of Reading? Check. Virginia Woolf class? Check. Pleasure reading? Check. Every book that I want to read ever? Check.

5. You cannot, I repeat cannot, walk into a book store without a spending limit.

I mean, have you ever gone to Strand? Barnes and Noble? HOW am I not suppose to buy everything?? Someone needs to hold me back.

6. You're thinking about charging people for proofreading their work.

Yes I'll read your paper. Again. For the fifth time this week. #NBD

7. Your an English major if this sentence kills you.

Yeah, yeah, tell me more about being too strict with grammar. I mean, c'mon! We should know this by now. Seriously.

8. Ten page papers? Easy

Pretty sure I could write one in my sleep. The problem isn't ten pages - it's ten page limits.

9. Writers block? Not so easy.

Picture Spongebob and his fancy "the."

10. Getting literary references.

Heck yeah, bring on the speeches.

11. You always get kicked out of the library.

Am I staying up too late or does the library close too early?

12. You question your major and what you're doing with life three times a day.

Mom, I swear this college tuition will pay off.

13. In the end, you know where your heart lies.
