  • for me it was a combination of the hour long lectures and then reading something that lacks creative prose. textbooks felt more like a chore than something I could enjoy reading, and then I’d zone out for an hour and learn absolutely nothing.

    the only time I was genuinely interested in history during school was learning about the rennaisance period in middle school. I fucking loved runescape at the time so I had a reason to really get into the lessons. probably the only history exam I got 100% on. the second closest time was the very beginning of world history in high school, cause I was fascinated in how humans lived before civilizations started forming. that ‘section’ was a good 15 minutes of the first class of the year and then we skipped ahead (:

    Now that I’m out of school I try to learn about history whenever I can because I know how important it is, I just wish I had a better experience with it in school. Lectures are evil I wish they weren’t my only option back then.

    I know next to nothing about what actually make good music but man the moment I had access to music outside of the local radio stations I was blown away by how good music could actually be.

    especially drums, idk if I could ever learn how to play them but it’s easily my favorite part to listen to when they’re done well
