Bioen anglais: The life and thoughts of an English major, who happens to be in love with English country and culture, written in English. Ooh, I'm so clever.
My name is Jessica. I'm entering my senior year at Longwood University. I'm going to go to grad school, hopefully in England, and become a world-famous revolutionary Romanticist. My goal in life is to restore literature to its rock & roll authority as a beacon of our culture, and to make the life of the average English major just a little more rockin'.
Poets, lock up your words! Your tongues are all tied.
Oh, let it read in every history book that the poets all tried
To lull us with lilting songs of a struggle,
To mountain up a notion that we were something more than animals.
Be clever, not beautiful. Oh, be clever, not beautiful.
If your goal is plain survival, then be clever - not beautiful.
What makes a heroine a heroine is her difference from most other women. - Rachel M. Brownstein, Becoming A Heroine
There is no happiness in love, except at the end of an English novel. - Anthony Trollope, Barchester Towers
Only one of these statements is true.
