Ah, the life of an English major. A life of reading, writing, and, well...not much else. In-class essays, maybe, but we won't talk about those nightmares. Instead, let's talk about the 14 things every English major can relate to:

1. You get excited when a classic that's been on your to-read list is on the course syllabus.

2. You chuckle to yourself when you hear science and math majors complaining about their exams...

3. ...then cry to yourself when you realize how many papers you have to write.

4. Then you cry more when you see you have to buy another expensive Norton Anthology for next semester.

5. Your friends always go to you to ask if you could please read over and edit their paper...

6. ...and you can't help but feel happy for them when they do well on the assignment you helped them with.

7. You think Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy are relationship goals.

8. You always have a book with you wherever you go. After all, what's more horrifying than having nothing to do while waiting in a doctor's office?

9. You angrily stare at people whenever they interrupt you while you're reading.

10. You will never not have a fictional crush and look for their qualities in real life people.

11. Your friends always ask you for book recommendations...

12. ...and you feel so loved whenever they send you something book-related.

13. Your college's English department is like one big family that sticks together and supports each other...

14. ...and you wouldn't trade them for anyone else.
