Because when I'm typing I have an incredible grasp of the English language that's so instinctual that I get A's on papers about Emily Dickinson without actually READING any Dickinson. I can be shockingly persuasive inside of those sixteen pages that I appear to know exactly what I'm talking about and how it relates to modern day. It's not that I can't do that, it's another thing I'm incredibly good at actually, it's just quicker to not read fifteen pages of poems and just type the paper.

Good bullshitter, gotcha. xD Though I'm not certain you answered the question I intended. Why did you choose to be an English major, specifically? How does this benefit you in the long run? "I'm good at convincing people that I'm more knowledgeable than I actually am" might have been applicable in any number of subjects or fields (psychology, law, medicine, auto mechanics, just for examples). Why English, in particular?

Also, you might actually get something out of a little Emily Dickinson:

'Hope' is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops—at all—

And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard—
And sore must be the storm—
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm—

I've heard it in the chillest land—
And on the strangest Sea—
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb—of Me.
