Being an English Major
Being an English Major allows me to live in a world full of fake British accents, hand gestures and most importantly, criticisms. I thought it would be a great idea to major in writing and express myself through funny stories and outrageous anecdotes. Boy was I wrong. The English major is a self-involved, arrogant piece of shit who writes about death in all forms (suicide, murder, accidents… you name it) I, on the other hand, enjoy writing comedies. I like to make people feel good. Life is a lot better with laughter. However, English majors believe people should become Emo after reading their stories. After being an English Major for the past 2 years (I transferred from a community college) I realized they are all insane. I’m insane for becoming an English major. I should’ve picked an easier major like business or teaching. At least I would be able to find a job after graduation. I’m lucky if I can find a job as a receptionist.
English majors love talking. I think workshopping is a good tool but when I have to sit and listen to Mr. Fat s.o.b. talk about how my story “Just doesn’t work for me” I stab my cochlea. I can’t handle listening to people giving me “tips for revision” when their stories suck ballz! It’s as if I can’t win because the true English majors know some way to butter up their professors. They must be giving them all BJs after class because I swear my stories aren’t great but not deserving of C’s and B’s. These people all write about the same shit! Autumn winters during World War II and characters that are dry and remind me of Nicholas Sparks’s novels. I think it’s funny that Nicholas Sparks started writing the cheesy novels that he makes millions of dollars off of after going into Barnes and Noble and asking a clerk what types of books women read. I should do that. Choose a cheesy genre, write mediocre stories, and make millions of dollars. That would be sweet. I could finally buy my Mazda 3. Ooohhh those are sweet cars.
Anyways, I think it’s wrong if my classmates resort to giving English professors BJs in order to get good grades on their stories. I wouldn’t resort to something like that. I’m a lady. I would rather suffer with a C in intermediate fiction than spend any extra time with my douche bag professors. Don’t get me wrong, I have had some good professors. Some have actually given some valid advice! Imagine that, a teacher doing their job and not just judging me because their egos are too big to help upcoming writers! Crazy.
I love comedy. I grew up watching the Three Stooges and Ren and Stimpy with my dad. I think I’m the way I am because of my father. He’s insane, in a good way. We laugh at the same stuff. This includes farts, poop and people getting hurt. However, if you laugh at either one of us when we get hurt we get angry. It’s not funny when it happens to you. I do love poop jokes, though. You can’t sit there with a straight face when someone next to you lifts their ass and a giant burst of ass gas comes wafting by. That’s funny stuff. I belch a lot. I love to burp because it frees a little bit of me into the world. I don’t burp on command because that takes all the fun out of it. You have to let the gas grow inside of you like a baby then set it free when it’s ready. If it’s premature, you may have some afterbirth (I call this as “mouth sewage”). My dad did have a lot to do with me wanting to become a writer. I love how he tells the same damn stories all the time but they never get old. I want to do that. I want people to re-tell my stories so my humor can travel around the world. The one thing that is different is I swear, a lot. In casual conversation, I sprinkle “ass”, “Damn”, “shit”, “fuck” on like sentence paprika. I don’t mean to. I think it’s because I commute every day to the city and I hate people who don’t know how to fucking drive in the city. See, there I go again. But I mean, seriously, if you don’t know how to read, don’t drive. Fuckers.
You know what else English majors do? Drink obscene amounts of Starbucks. I remember watching “Family Guy” once and they cracked a joke about how screenwriters sit in Starbucks and type their scripts. Well, guess where I am drinking coffee from a festive holiday cup, typing this blog…. STARBUCKS! I fit into this stereotype and it sucks. I swear Starbucks puts crack in their pumpkin Spice lattes. They are so delicious and it’s like drinking autumn goodness. Yummy. I get the shakes if I don’t drink enough coffee in a day. My eyes start to blink a lot and the withdrawal affects my daily routines. If I don’t drink enough I forget where I parked my car, my address, papers and the worst was when I forgot my own name. That is how serious my addiction is. I wouldn’t be surprised if in like 10 years there is a rehab for caffeine addicts. How funny would that be?! Britney Spears can add that to her laundry list of issues.
Britney Spears… Where do I begin? I’m a fan of her music. I know, I know she lip-syncs. But she has some catchy tunes. I jam to “Oops” all the time. I even learned the dance moves for a sketch in my 9th grade theatre class. I fell and everyone laughed at me. The real Britney is a piece of trailer trash with more money anyone ever needs. She has like 11 cars, 3 houses and a lifetime supply of cheetos. The girl’s got it made. He kids are cute; too bad she drops them all the time. I guess that’s what plastic surgery is for. KFED- hmm… I actually have no opinion about him. He got famous for doing nothing. Good for him. He also made Britney a complete nutcase. I have a feeling she was always crazy. I think it just took her cheating on Justin for it to come out. Justin is cute and talented. He could do better than Britney and I bet he is so happy that she went and banged Wade Robson. I actually wrote a parody of a Britney song for my Shakespeare class. I used the tune for “I’m not a girl, not yet a woman” and wrote in lyrics about Richard III. It’s talks about him being a hunchback and no one loves him but he is going to kill his family and be king. I liked it.
I love making a mockery out of serious subjects. People in this world are too damn serious. Lighten up! My favorite topic is politics. People get so pissed off about the war, Bush, economy… whatever. I think it’s funny how assholes like Hannity, O’Reilly, Mar and the other crazies who think their opinion matters. If you look up their past they are all lying jagoffs. I consider myself moderate. I know some may see that as a copout but screw you for thinking that. I was thinking of going uber conservative because it’s far more rebellious to be conservative in Hollywood than Liberal is. In addition, I don’t want to be associated with douche bags like Alec Baldwin (Vile Pig!), Streisand (don’t get me started), and Rosie (just because you’re loud doesn’t mean people listen to you, you stupid over-opinionated, close-minded, piece of shit) and to think I watched her show after school. L
I bet I Rosie went to college she would have been an English major. That thought scares the shit out of me. I refuse to end up sipping a latte with strategically placed tattoos smoking pot and talking with hand gestures that make the people sitting next to me nervous because I come too close to smacking them in the face. I’m sure I can write more on this subject and probably will. I just can’t stay in Starbucks any longer.
Who Has the Vagina in this Relationship?
Here’s the problem with guys who actually want to listen to your problems; they’re possibly gay or they are desperate to get laid. No man cares if you’re upset because that means you will tell them a story about school, work, or your friends and all they care about is what’s on TV or what’s for dinner. When a guy starts to ask you about your relationship after your second date that is a warning sign to abort. The biggest problem that college girls face is that you prefer the company of “older” men on average of 25 to 29. Around the time, boys reach 27 they decide that they want to settle down. However, girls who are the tender age of 21 realize that you have a lot of drinking, making out with random boys, and shopping to do.If the guy you’re interested in springs up a question about where the relationship is going you need to come to terms that he’s not for you. Keep him in the back of your mind after a couple of years have passed and you are ready to settle down but do not get intimidated when he buys you flowers and says that you are the most beautiful girl he has ever dated. It’s a line. Unless you are ready to settle, get out of associating yourself with him by not taking any phone calls and emails. He isn’t meant for you if he pops the question after three dates or asks your opinions on how many children you plan on having.
Beware of the Polite Pimps
There are several connotations to this term I have coined myself. This is the guy who simply strings you along to fall helplessly in love with them and they decide that they are bored with you. They date several other girls at the same time but always make you seem like a princess. He will buy you roses for no reason and tell you are the most beautiful girl he has ever dated when there are about five other girls on his same roster. Don’t fall into this trap, girls! Here are some tips to figure out if he is legit or just a pimp:
1.He will flirt with you in a class and seem interested in being your partner for an upcoming group project.
2.He is eager to call, IM, or text you
3.Admits everything about his past relationships
4.Makes himself out to be the wounded puppy
5.Tells you that you are beautiful
6.Buys you roses for no reason
7.Never takes you to a movie rather you meet up for coffee or hang out at his apartment
8.Still talks to his ex
9.Is mildly attractive but you are still infatuated with him
10.Has the uncanny ability to talk to women about anything (borderline gay?)
11.Is an only child
12.Is not close with his family
13.Struggles in school
15. Constantly needs attention from many girls to make up for his insecurities about himself
14. Is a complete bullshitter
15.Aggressive, “rough around the edges”
16.Outgoing personality
17. Thoughtful to score bonus points with you and to keep you hanging on
18. Pretends like he cares about you and what’s going on in your life when he is really just a self-centered brat
19. Waits for you to kiss him because he needs the affirmation that your into him (again for insecurity and ego purposes)
20. Always keeps you guessing and keeps things exciting and passionate
21. Tells you exactly what you want to hear
22. Has lots of friends
23. Preys after girls who are vulnerable and don’t have much dating experience and are a challenge for him
24. Uses the excuse that he doesn’t want to be exclusive right away and wants to casually date because he just got out of a long term relationship
25. After you start to want things to go further instills the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy about dating other people
26. Goes backward from dating with the potential for a relationship to just friends with benefits.
Polite Pimps are bad news. You need to stay away from this type of guy even though you think that if you can’t score with this type you will never find your true love. Believe me; you do not need to be caught up by a douche who wears a cowboy hat everyday. Listen to your friend’s advice about these guys. You need to stay away because they are deceitful and you will only get a broken heart out of dealing with this type. If you want roses go to a florist and buy them yourself. Don’t make yourself suffer through this. Beware the Polite Pimps!!!
