Whether you are in the middle of writing a 15-page paper or drowning in reading assignments, you know what it's like to be an English major.

So while you are taking a much-needed study break, see how many of these things you find yourself doing.

1. Your body is 83% coffee, 10% carpal tunnel, and 7% eye strain

But of course when anyone asks how you are doing you just slow blink and squeak out an, "I'm fine."

2. You have a Grammarly account (or equivalent)

And when you upload your paper to check it and see all of the red lines you just kind of die inside.

3. You realize the importance of historical context

It is a power that helps you crank out so many papers that your non-English major friends fear.

4. Writer's block is the bane of your existence

There is nothing worse to you than being on the verge of writing the perfect end to an essay only to have writer's block kick in and ruin your life.

5. You know how to crank out a paper in less than three hours

And you know how to write it in a way that makes it seem like you have spent weeks thinking about it.

6. Your second home is the library

You even have a specific area that you always tend to chill in and when it's taken you just kind of look like:


7. You have an insane imagination

AND PEOPLE SHOULD FEAR YOU FOR IT!

8. You have an eclectic taste in books

And you have read at least three books that have completely changed your life.

9. You like to read and write for fun

You tend to love anything having to do with literature.

10. You cringe at a lot of book to film adaptations

Most of the time the films can't even hold a candle to the brilliance of the book.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
