I am usually the type of person that doesn't get angered really quickly, but there are some people who just know how to press all the wrong buttons and awaken the sarcastic mean girl that dwells within me. If one more person asks/says any of the things to me I may scream at them.

1. "What grade do you want to teach?"

None of them. I don't have the patience required to teach, and not every English major is going to be a teacher.

2. "An English major doesn't teach you any real skills."

I can pump out a 15-page analytical essay in about three hours and have impeccable typing and reading comprehension skills, but I guess those don't count. Since when is being able to talk about the periodic table a "real skill?"

3. "Can you edit my (essay, cover letter, email, etc.)?"

Considering how you think English hasn't taught me any real skills why don't you take a long walk off a short pier. PSA: Don't put down your English major/minor friends if you are going to ask them to review something for you.

4. "It must be nice to have such a light class load."

CARRY MY BACKPACK FOR A DAY I DARE YOU! Some of my classes have so much reading I had to start reading immediately after finals for last semester.

5. "You're so lucky to have so many easy classes."

You wouldn't last a day in my upper-level classes.

6. "All you have to do is write essays... Not much to complain about."

Shhhhhh.... Don't say another word.

7. "I like to read too, I wish I had the time like you do."

Because of course I only became an English major because I had nothing better to do with my time.

8. "I wanted a practical major, but you do you."

Words are totally impractical. I mean we only use them basically every waking moment of our lives but whatever helps you sleep at night, jerk.

9. "So you're getting a degree to work at Starbucks?"

Oh haha, how original. Did you stay up all night thinking of that insult?

10. "What are you even going to do after college?"

I'm going to law school. What are you going to do after college?
