I enjoyed this list quite a bit. You can go to the source by clicking the title.

How to not suck at being an English Major:

1. LOVE POETRY
It’s a vital part of literature, stop hating on it because you think that’s the cool thing to do. Sure, poetry can be hard to understand, but you shouldn’t shut your brain off just because the writer isn’t explicitly telling what he/she is feeling. You should NEVER shut your brain off.
2. DO THE READING
Yes, you have to read a lot, what the fuck did you think it meant when you signed up to be an English Major? Read, interpret, write, and love literature. That’s what you’re supposed to do.
3. THINK THINK THINK
Come to class with actual thoughts, and don’t be afraid to talk. Discussion classes can either be stimulating or boring as fuck, and a lot of it depends on YOU, Mr. or Mrs. English Major.
4. DON’T BE A DICK
Life advice. See also: Be humble, be smart, be cool.
