9 Signs You’re An Education AND English Major

I believe one of the best professions is being an Educator, it is also one of the most underrated professions. As a Elementary Education and English double major, I feel it is one of the most rewarding professions! Witnessing the students' enthusiasm as they learn is very fulfilling.

Your organizational skills must be exceptional

Being organized allows you to be more efficient, and thereby allows you to be more productive.

Your demeanor should be calm and soothing

As a teacher, it's imperative to be patient with your students; having a calm attitude and atmosphere will allow the students to feel relaxed and eager to learn.

Your tendency to correct others grammar is obvious

Teachers always want to see their students succeed. English teachers are big on grammar and reinforce to their young students early on the difference between 'your' and 'you're', 'there,' 'their,' and 'they're,' 'affect,' and effect,' etc.

It is very exciting preparing for a new school year. Buying new school supplies, selecting books for the students to read, and decorating the classroom are all very exhilarating.

Your textbooks break the bank

We all know textbooks can get expensive. English courses require what is called "The Norton Anthology" which can consist of 3+ books, racking up the cost significantly! Not to mention all the Education textbooks about psychology, etc.

And your backpack breaks your back

Not only are textbooks expensive, they weigh A TON too!

Pinterest is your best friend

Who said teachers don't get inspired by other teachers?! Pinterest is a great way to gain inspiration from others and adjust lessons to your own liking!

You are used to dealing with ‘blocks’

https://giphy.com/gifs/disney-big-hero-6-hiro-hama...

I'm not referring to block scheduling, although, in the Education world, that is common. When I say 'blocks' I am referring to teacher's and writer's block. It is challenging to continually invent new ideas and ways to teach and inspire your students to learn.

You relate everything to symbols

In the world of literature, English teachers connect everything to symbolism. Every book is analyzed and connected to real-life situations.

I am beyond excited because in just two short weeks, I will begin my "Field Work" at Rider where I will be assigned a local school and grade where I can focus on my Elementary major, Middle School minor and concentration in English!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
