“Ulysses” by James Joyce [Modern Library, 1961]. Tried to read this in high school and made it to page 100 before admitting that I had NO idea what was going on. I have not yet been back to attempt it again. Perhaps you’ll have better luck. #jamesjoyce #ulysses #irishliterature #modernclassics #treatyourshelf #englishmajorproblems #booknerd #shelfie https://www.instagram.com/p/CEjvKNXBJsC/?igshid=1aszpzxaet1mx

What makes this incredibly ironic is that I had just given a soliloquy about how sometimes I feel like my multiple English degrees are worthless just moments before I opened this fortune cookie. #ironic #englishmajor #englishmajorproblems #fortunecookie #franproblems https://www.instagram.com/p/B8p2HNzJkoi/?igshid=1jjf76jl7erjv

There’s a local Arts channel doing a special on Shakespeare Uncovered and they’re dissecting one of my favorite plays.. Richard III. I’m immediately transported back in time to my high school English classes, my colleges classes on Shakespeare, and my Lit classes on the evil in literature. 🖤 . . . #bibliophile #bookstageam #shakespeare #shakespearequotes #richardiii #fiction #plays #britishliterature #englishmajorproblems #bookblogger https://www.instagram.com/p/B2QdPy5gTXW/?igshid=1omwrysc4ytup

That feeling when you ship the Wife of Bath and the Clerk because they both hate on each other but would also have really meaningful discussions about life because they're both really smart and you've been writing your paper for too long.

I finally unpacked my books only to realize I need a third bookcase. #englishmajorproblems (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Bs60RlSbA/?igshid=1eit3d3idxl1i

So thankful that I have finally found my passion in life and am living it out through my college career! When I began @mcneese I was a business major, but as I continued I figured that it was just not for me! I have since changed my major to English because that is where I am truly happy and I'm so thankful that I did! I love my English classes❤️ Reading and writing is pretty much all I do now and I've never been happier. So thankful that I chose to step out on faith and embrace this decision! #passion #englishmajor #englishmajorproblems #nerd #nerdproblems #findjoydaily #adventure #bookworm #bookwormforlife

I need *TWO* classes to graduate. I am thinking about taking five.
If someone would care to venture a guess as to what the goddamn hell is wrong with me that'd be great thanks

I feel like this is an iconic UIC view - great views of the city with our brutalist architecture in the foreground. I think the marketing is failing here though: incorrect possessive form 😑 and weird logo! “Best value university?” Are we Denny’s? Are we saying we’re the TJ Maxx of education? #englishmajorproblems (at University of Illinois at Chicago) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7HW2DLphLj/?igshid=ngzuvyrquk3a

My current bookmark. Ironic, given that it's marking my place in a book I'm reading for homework at the end of a hard day's work. #backtoschool #bookstagram #booksbooksbooks #englishmajorproblems
