indeed, reading is invaluable because in ANY major you choose, you'll have to read. thats why i see it as an important major because life is based around reading.

its just that ill have to read things i wont WANT to read, haha. thats what is getting to me. but you're right, minnick. i have read a lot of bret easton ellis and i seem to adopt his style elements when writing creatively. i guess it's all relative. i really appreciate the help.


Anytime. If you ever need English major advice, I'm available. One thing to always think about: You don't have to like something you read to truly appreciate it.

as an english major you should have the want to read books like that, if not for their great messages within, for their style and techniques that you may learn from

exactly. im realizing that more now. theres importance on how its written rather than what its about. its just hard in college when everyone just wants to party- and so do i!- but im going to have to read a lot. i know ill make the time, itll just be a little stressful i bet. who knows, maybe ill have a cool teacher who assigns "Less Than Zero" as a reading requirement! that would be amazing :)

Reading before class starts, while at lunch, between classes and even on the way to class can help cut down on having to read outside of being on campus.

I chose political science as my major. Then i plan on going to law school
My dad has his own law firm, so i am already set.
Talk with your parents and school staff to choose what you want before it's too late.

btw, thanks for the advice man.
i figured id just thank the 3 people who made this thread a nice discussion and made me feel better, lol
