So yeah

I decided to change my major. That's right! No more music theory classes for me. I decided to do what I wanted to do in tenth grade, I'm going to be an English Major!

its good your choosing what you wanted but, are you sure you want to be an english major, I know i sound like im being too cautious but cmon, is this really what you want to do. if so im all for it do what your heart tells you to do and i guess grats? i dont know if that works in that situation but what the hell we'll throw it in there anyway.

I don't know I had to choose a major and for some reason I said music, but now I realized that was a bad idea.

A good choice. Welcome to the world of literature and culture, as they say.

I have been writing since I learned to put pen to paper and was (am) aspiring toward a career in fiction, but honestly realized it was a prescription for poverty. I continue to write and perhaps, one day... but for now it is more of a 9-5 as there are bills to be paid.

An engineering major asks how does it work?
A philosophy major asks why does it work?

An english major asks do you want fries with that?



Being serious though, good on you for doing what you want to do, rather than sticking with something you didn't like

What do you do with a B.A. in English,
What is my life going to be?
Four years of college and plenty of knowledge,
Have earned me this useless degree.

I can't pay the bills yet,
'Cause I have no skills yet,
The world is a big scary place.

But somehow I can't shake,
The feeling I might make,
A difference,
To the human race.

English major sounds really interesting!!!

I heard that you read the original fairy tales by the brothers Grimm. Apparently they are very gruesome.

Oh come now, everyone. English majors aren't completely useless :/ I'm sure the certificate is great for covering cracks or unsightly stains in the wall, assuming you don't live in a box next to dear Stasis.
