Proof English Majors are Awesome

In the past few days, two facts have become immediately apparent to me. The first of which is that the GRE (better known as the "SAT for grad school," or "the soul crushing monster that broke my heart and broke into my bank account") tops the charts as the stupidest and most nonsensical compulsory task I have ever had the misfortune to endure.

The second fact is much better than the first, and is simply this: English majors are awesome.

I posit this today not because I haven't always known it to be true, but because irrefutable proof has fallen into my lap from above confirming this to be undeniable, Hard Times-esque Fact.

Proof came to me though my friend Rhys. He is not only an English major, but he is also a curator of all tastes, an innovator of fine dining, and a composer of songs about my deep and abiding love for Charmander.*


All of this can only lead to one definitive conclusion-- Rhys is awesome. View the awesomeness below, and I sincerely hope it makes your day as excellent as mine!

*Seriously, Charmander is the end-all-be-all of starter Pokemon. Don't let the water-starter crowd seduce you with their propaganda about type advantage against Brock. Making it with Charmander is like making it in New York City-- if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. All the important world leaders have chosen Charmander as their starter Pokemon, from Charlemagne, to Queen Elizabeth I, to Martin Luther King Jr. Don't you want to be part of that crowd? I thought so.
