You know you're an English major when...

• Your backpack (or more realistically, your messenger bag/satchel) contains:
• 3+ novels
• Hipster worthy elastic bound journal
• A myriad of pens, pencils, and highlighters...but no calculator
• Post-its of many hues
• A highlighter with post-its in the handle (best.ever.)

Just in case one runs out of ink halfway thorough an annotation...

• You have a pair of hipster reading glasses, but not to look hipster... reading kind of hurts without them

• Your friends are afraid of texting you because you correct their grammar (phrases like "r u @ skool?" make me want to throw dictionaries at people)

• No one wants to play Words With Friends with you

• A great majority of your male classmates are gay of hipster (or both)

• You carry tea and Splenda with you everywhere just in case you need caffeine on the fly

Vital sustenance. 

• Your cell phone screen background is a picture of text from an awesome book (*coughAngelsandDemonscough*)

• Your email address is a literary allusion and the only person who understands it is the cashier at the local book store

• The Oxford English Dictionary subscription website is bookmarked on your favorites bar

**Sigh** I'm so typical.
