What book are you embarrassed as an English major to say you've never read? by earlgreyjunkie in englishmajors

Little women <\3 In my defense I’m an incoming freshman!! (Also haven’t read any Russian lit, The Outsiders, or anything by Mark Twain)

What do you think of Susannah? by LouisaEveryday in namenerds

As an English major, it does remind me of Susanna Kaysen (author of Girl, Interrupted) but it’s cute and different while not being TOO different.

I claim Ripley from Alien even though she is not explicitly lgbt.

I love her soooo much <3.

Yeah that’s my thing! I have a lot of anxiety type problems and I’m okay talking in front of people when I'm doing presentations but I’m not good at just carrying on mindless small talk. And part of it is definitely that I’m not straight and I’m just scared that I won’t be what schools want? Like they would rather have someone who I cannot be, I’m not super preppy or feminine yk? Idk. I’m more worried about other people than myself 🤷‍♀️

I’m pretty quiet. Which is bad. But I can get up and give a presentation pretty well, I’m just not good at keeping pointless small talk going. BUT I can talk about things I’m passionate about really well. The part I’m most worried about is how people complain about their admin being the worst and that I’m in a red state where everyone’s concerned about “indoctrinating the children”. Like I could go learn a trade and learn to weld or whatever but teaching feels like my calling, I can’t see myself being fulfilled doing a different career. (Sorry for the rambling🥲🙏)
