10 Signs You're An English Major, As Told By 'Bob's Burgers'

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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
