It's acceptable to have literature/English as your primary major IF and only if you go to an elite school that top management consulting firms and banks recruit from or think you can get into a T14 law school or are premed.

If you aren't at such a school and aren't premed or in line for a T14 law school then literature is usually pretty easy to get as a second major and won't hurt you.

Even if you're at an elite school though, it's easy to get another "soft" major alongside your lit degree like history, philosophy or economics that will associate you with more serious competitors in the job market and train some more rigorous reasoning skills.

I boned two different girls in the same writing workshop in college one semester. They were both pretty, fit, and pleasant to talk with. They claimed that they were impressed by my writing.

I also used to date a girl who would get uncontrollably aroused from watching me study or write. That's not what you mean, but I just told you about it anyway.

Anything highly discursive like the big meme novels on /lit/ and Moby Dick. Reading, making sense of, and enjoying those in a timely fashion is probably off-limits to brainlets.

Brutal discipline and going for the gusto on your chosen vice. Nice.

They confuse everyone. They look so innocent. People immediately want to protect them: censoring themselves away from talk of death, business, duplicity when they are there. It's all shortages, songs and boy friends, film and blouses...

With her hair pulled back of her ears, her soft chin in profile, she looks only 9 or 10, alone by windows, blinking into the sun, turning her head on the light counterpane, coming in tears, child's reddening wrinkling face about to cry, going oh, oh...

One night in the dark quit-and-cold refuge of their bed, drowsing to and fro himself, he licked her to sleep. When she felt his first warm breaths touch her labia, she shivered and cried like a cat. Two or three notes, it seemed, that sounded together, hoarse, haunted, blowing with snowflakes remembered from around nightfall. Trees outside sifting the wind, out of her sight the lorries forever rushing down the streets and roads, behind houses, across canals or river, beyond the simple park. Oh and the dogs and cats who went padding in the fine snow...

Beautiful women can be a huge asset and make your life sweet in ways that continually surprise you if they are loyal and you love them.

If they aren't totally hooked on you, they have the power to turn your whole psyche inside out if you love them.

The simple solution is not to love anyone who isn't loyal to you, but it's hard when sexual desire and other emotions come into the mix.

>tfw you had a girl who actually helped improve your work
>tfw she was so out of her head from doing too much acid that it seemed inconsequential who she was with because she was never fully present
How did I find the one person to be my muse who it was fully impossible to possess? The Muse effect is real but the withdrawals are a bitch.

Good poetry is emotionally manipulative, but in an interesting way. Some people realize this but lack the skill to do it in an interesting way and so wind up writing sentimental crap. Others go too hard for "interesting," but lack the skill or humanity to get the emotive part. It's hard as fuck, basically.
