Hey /lit/, I want to seriously get into philosophy. I'd attend to college, but I'm already studing a History degree and there isn't such thing as minors in my countrie's university system. How should I focus on my readings? I'm considering reading the big ones in chronological order, making no distinction between areas of study but only between authors and eras.

It's a tedious meme but he's right.
Actually I'd read up on the history of philosophy, the big names and themes up to the present day (e.g. Plato to Popper). Then start with Plato.
This series is veeeeery comfy, and you can pretend you're a student at Oxford while watching his lectures. All free with videos and lecture notes/slides. Takes you through history, and then David Hume (the lecturer is a Hume scholar) and up to the 20th century.
After that you should have enough background to decide where you want to go.

Nietzsche was right in saying he's a bore. Good god, the Last Day of Socrates felt like it would never end. Don't even get me started on Republic.
