It's the lit review what's fucking me over. I guess iIll just use North & Weingast, Stasavage, Gandhi-Przeworski and throw some Bueno de Mesquita for whatever reason.
>Fascinated with history
>Humanities are ignored at primary and secondary school in favor of math and science
>Be one of the few people in class that doesn't take well to math
>Never have anyone to talk to about history besides the history teacher because no one else is interested in it
It's doubly tragic because history is crucial to understanding why the world is the way it is today. Knowledge is power.

I bloody researched and wrote my poltics essay in 12 hours. it was shit. (i am doing history but the uni makes me do additional shit)
I want to read and be all yang wenli about it but i got a job so now i have no time and i am scraping by (got money doth)
>>313807
i get what you're saying but you could have worded that less like a faggot
>>313581
It's a bit weird when you know more than your teacher and he has a lot of his facts wrong.
>>313425
>>Never have anyone to talk to about history besides the history teacher because no one else is interested in it
found the kissass
>the comfy feels of studying a good book alone in a windy evening.
The book is Nature and Power by Radkau btw, I suggest it to everyone interested in environmental history

Try to consider it as a job: you should work 6-8 hours a day, no matter what you do.

no...

Then don't, but there's pleasure in hard working too
>tfw 3 essays done on the 8th
>2 2500 word ones and 1 1500 one
>mfw I only have typed 1570 words on one of the 2500 ones and still haven't decided on what question should I do for the next two
At least the good thing about having an innate talent for History is that I can type 2000 words in a night and somehow still get a 2:i for it.

This shit made me cry.

Is that incorrect? English isn’t my first language, so i wouldn't really know.
>>314776
You're supposed to say that's
>>314985
Ah, I yeah, I see that. Mind reading my argument, just to check if it's correctly stated?
>>313384
Fuck the history channel for getting me interested in this shit. I wish there had been a finance or math channel I would have been drawn to instead.
>>313769
It would help if I had topics like the history of the Soviet Union instead of the history of latin american women. The classes that were offered....
>>316051
It's actually easier when you have a specific topic, a 10 page paper on the history of the ussr will be shit
>>316058
I'm talking in terms of class options. My upper division history class options were all variations of that shit. African Women in the United States. Latin America and Christianity. As someone who is primarily interested in military and European history, I fucking hated this shit.
>tfw no 1920s flapper gf

>not also watching the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and Science channel
>not having an interest in the sciences as well as history

Should've studied political science, we're all about war and conflict.

Become an archaeologist senpai
Tricky to get work, but it's doable, especially in places where there's a building boom (it was like that here- they were building so much shit that they found loads of ruins, ancient sites etc., so tons of work for archaeologists)
>>316891
thanks for the filename cunt
m-maybe pyrrhus will resurrect and we can fight the growing power of the rhomans together..
>>316891
Had the same thought. Didn't bother in the end. Not worth the money alone.
>you will never be one of Alexander's generals
>you will never carve out a piece of his empire and be a diadochi and proclaim yourself king when he dies
>you will never march on Rome
>you will never feel Achilles' thighs of your hammies
>you will never unite the Mongolian tribes
>>313361
>mfw offered law or history degree
>can do both at once
Should I do it?
I'm going to start an arts/interdisciplinary course soon, for the knowledge rather than career or fame. Anyone have experience? How much autonomy do you get? My vague idea is later levels you do papers on anything that captures your interest aesthetically, analysing it using your preferred philosophical or critical theory. I just want to be more educated in culture generally. I'm guessing you don't need to get involved with stuff like identity politics or ucantnonuffin unlike some here would have you believe?
>get kicked out from best uni in country
>settle for B-tier community college, study history education
>everybody else just re-typed anybook they get
>they don't even understand how to cite

Leave your 1st World country, move to a 3rd World where the cost of living is cheaper and become a history teacher/professor.
Here in the Philippines, history professors are financially stable(somehow) as long as they have their job.

But don't you have mosquitoes there?
I would jump in front of a train if I had to live in a country where vampire-flies constantly hissed in my ears while trying to sleep or walk in the night.
