I am in the midst of trying to get through what feels like an endless pile of homework. Two books to catch up on, writing that needs revision and short stories to edit for my fellow classmates. It's difficult being a college student, but I'm sure the reward at the end of it all is worth it. The reason I feel compelled to write a blog is so that I can work on my writing style. I also hope that this gives me room for improvement since I am currently studying English in the hopes of becoming a better writer. When I tell people that I'm majoring in English, the response is always the same. "Oh, are you going to be a teacher?" they say. It never fails. "No," I reply. "I want to be a writer. I want to write novels." I'm not trying to chastise teachers, but I don't feel that being a teacher is my calling. I also wish that people wouldn't automatically associate English with teaching. I love learning it and am fascinated by my professors
