When people ask me why I’m a history major, I usually give the stock answer of “I like it.” History interests me because I like to know the deeper reasons behind events. For instance, the Civil War happened because of slaves. And slaves happened because of the Pyramids. And those happened because God said so. We can plainly see that everything happened because God said so, and so I sum up history into one sentence: “Because God (or someone) said so.” Other majors can also be summed up into concise sentences. Economics is “These two lines are a graph. This graph represents change over time. Poor people.” American Studies is “WERE NOT RACIST, WE SWEAR!!!” And biology is “Take this class 4 times till you pass it.” Someday, Ill probably write a book wherein I sum up all knowledge into easy paragraphs. But no one will read it. Have to study for bio.
