no, not my bf, my brother. i attend one of the best colleges in the country and i major in english. i've also been really involved on campus. my brother keeps putting me down by saying that i'm in an easy major, and that he has friends at good schools and that they're on the dean's list, etc. and are doing "much better than you ever will." i told him that my major is good for getting into many different fields and he says, "you've never written the lsat's mcat's, etc. and that doesn't mean you could ever pass it."

it really gets to me because i work so hard and my school is much better than the schools many of his friends attend, but he continues to put me down.

what could i do?

Stop basing your self-worth on his bullshit. In other words, grow a fucking backbone.

Ignore him, he's a moron.

You don't choose your major based on how hard it is, you choose it by looking at a myriad of things -- What will it let you do? Could you see yourself working in that field? Do you enjoy the work? Not -- Will it impress my asshole brother and his friends?

I thought about majoring in English before. I decided to go with another major but there's nothing wrong with English if that's what you enjoy. Just work hard and get involved and you'll be fine regardless of what that jerk says.
