Why do we always eat cereal cold? Why can't we ever eat a piping-hot bowl of cereal?

What is the best major for someone who wants to eventually become a fiction writer? I've heard a lot of bad things about literature/English programs, but I wanted to hear your thoughts. Would philosophy be a better option?

>inb4 the major doesn't matter
Okay, I get that writing is a self-taught craft, but if you had to choose the most optional major to complement this path, which would it be?

He feels bad for breakfast food.

>"Why are breakfast foods breakfast foods?" I asked them. "Like, why don't we have curry for breakfast food?"
>"Hazel, eat."
>"But why?" I asked. "I mean, seriously: How did scrambled eggs get stuck in with breakfast exclusivity? You can put bacon on a sandwich without anyone freaking out. But the moment your sandwich has an eggs, boom, it's a breakfast sandwich."
>Dad answered with his mouth full. "When you come back, we'll have breakfast for dinner. Deal?"
>"I don't want to have 'breakfast for dinner,'" I answered, crossing knife and fork over my mostly full plate. "I want to have scrambled eggs for dinner without this ridiculous construction that scrambled eggs-inclusive meal is breakfast even when it occurs at dinnertime."
>"You've gotta pick your battles in this world, Hazel," my mom said. "But if this is the issue you want to champion, we stand behind you."
>"Quite a bit behind you," my dad added, and Mom laughed.
>Anyway, I knew it was stupid, but I felt kind of bad for scrambled eggs.
