English majors go through a lot, and this list covers 10 of these struggles in life at their finest moments.
1. You're often found in a Starbucks, typing like a madman.
Four-hour-long, caffeine-induced essay writing sessions are not uncommon.
2. Kindles are scary, and when you’re forced to use one it’s uncomfortable.
Give me pages! Give me substance!
3. If you had a dollar for every time someone asked if you were worried about not making money, you’d be able to pay off your student loans — twice.
My major isn't pointless, and no matter what career path I take, I'll still be doing what I love.
4. Belle's library was all you wanted growing up.
All I want for Christmas are a few thousand novels to dig into.
5. Your friends are getting tired of you constantly correcting their pronunciation.
I'm sorry about this one; language is only my livelihood.
6. The one math class you have to take in college was the worst class of your career.
The one case where adding words makes a subject worse.
7. You might exaggerate a little.
Or a lot, depending on how extravagant the story needs to be.
8. You’re currently working on a novel, and you have been forever.
I promised myself that I would finish it one day. Today is not that day.
9. The new MLA format released ruined your day.

10. When you meet another English major, there's an unspoken bond.
We're all in this together.
