currently studying history in university and my workload is immense but i'm motivated by trying to understand why things are the way they are now and the different approaches you can take (sociology, anthropology, etc)
Like so many people, I never cared for history. It was always just a bunch of dates, cause-and-effect relationships, and names I had to memorize last minute before an exam. Now that Iโm so many years separated from all that, Iโve finally found that Iโm entering the pro-history phase of my life. I mean, itโs just so interesting. Thereโs such finite details available about everything, and sooo many different little niches with tons of resources equally as available as the obvious stuff. oh and itโs true, which is both terrifying and cool.
It's for my dnd campaign lol but now I can't stop learning about ancient civilizations and how those cultures would've evolved without colonial interferences (More specifically Mayan Futurism)
Seriously though getting sucked into random subjects and choosing to jump into the rabbit hole is a special experience
