Like most English majors, I chose the subject as my major because it is something I know I'm good at and have a passion for. Since beginning my studies in college, I've already gotten a taste of what English offers, in literature, writing, editing, and everything in between. I have never doubted my decision, but there are times when all of the class-assigned reading overwhelms me. I wouldn't change it for the world. I love reading, writing, and I'm working hard in school to better myself as a student. Here is a list of the triumphs and struggles all English majors can relate to.

You know what they say -- the first step is admitting you have a problem...a problem that you're probably not going to fix. If you're like me, you justify it by saying, "At least I'm not a cocaine addict. There's that."
4. You love feedback from your professors, and you love to use new words and improve your writing.

5. You take advantage of those small moments of inspiration, even if that's just one sentence you'll use in your next essay.

10. Your best friends are books. You can always count on them, even during the most difficult times.
