Being an English major is one of the best decisions I have ever made. From the engaging discussions in class, to the hilarious professors, to reading and exploring new books, being an English major is great. Even though you have to stay up late writing 10-page papers, you know that you wouldn't want to major in anything else.

1. Reading is always homework.

You love homework.

2. You don't have exams. You just have a million papers.

Which means that you can go home earlier than all of your friends.

3. You edit and read over all of your friends' papers.

They all know that you know what you're talking about.

4. You have a million highlighters, sticky notes and pens.

Because you're always taking notes when you're reading.

5. You can quote Shakespeare.

Let's be real, name one English class that they haven't at least mentioned the guy.

6. You can write a paper in one sitting.

I'm not saying it's a good one, but you can definitely make great progress.

7. You have to buy or rent too many books each semester.

Because you read a different one each week in each English class.

8. You can read relatively quickly.

Because let's face it, you probably have to read over 100 pages a night in some classes.

9. You love the library, and probably coffee.

There's nowhere better than to write a paper than in a quiet library and sipping coffee.

10. You have a good relationship with Sparknotes.

Sparknotes is always there to catch you when you fall.

11. You read many of the same books and plays.

I've lost sight of how many times I have had to read "Great Expectations."

12. You use "I'm an English major" as an excuse if you do poorly in math or science.

Because you can't be great at everything.

13. You cringe whenever somebody uses incorrect grammar.

14. You're a dreamer because you've spent half of your life reading books.

15. But you're also dramatic because half of those books ends with at least half of the characters killing each other.

16. You have a specific spot that you always write papers.

Because you wouldn't be able to focus anywhere else.

17. You have strong feelings about every book that you read and get attached to the characters, especially when they're crazy.

18. You always have great book recommendations to give to friends, or anybody that will listen.

19. You over-analyze and over-think everything.

Because that's what you've learned to do from reading so much.

20. The professors are always so different from each other and amazing.

Because who doesn't like a witty English professor?

21. The people you meet in your classes are great.

You meet people who are so similar to yourself and love to read as much as you do.
