Vintage Halloween postcard titled 'A Merry Halloween' showing three whimsical jack-o'-lantern headed figures with pumpkin faces and bodies made of watermelons sitting on a large watermelon. A young girl in a light blue dress with a red bow in her hair stands to the right, ringing a bell and holding a horn. A black cat sits in the lower left corner near a small pumpkin. The scene is set at night with a crescent moon and stars in a dark blue-green sky, with hay scattered on the ground
Wishing you a very spooky Halloween, history nerds! #historymajor #ubuffalo

This take brought to you by a #historymajor
Well, I guess if I get RIFed, this might actually make my degrees useful for a good job outside of the fed. #historymajor #mls
Just a man at school finally getting his degree. It’s never too late to achieve your goals #mjc #modestojuniorcollege #historymajor
Summer break means I finally have all my books in one place again! But the state of things is… overcrowded. But I guess having lots of books is a good problem to have?

Woke up to a text from my sister asking me when did the 2 parties flip on racial issues. They were having a debate at her house and knew to text me to settle the debate.

Under the bright yellow light of a lamp to the left of the frame, eleven hardback forest green volumes rest in numerical order atop a light brown dresser. Written in gold foil on the spines is "The Papers of ALEXANDER HAMILTON" with the Columbia University Press logo below each volume's number.
Spring Break means having all my volumes of The Papers of Alexander Hamilton together in one place again 🥰🥰🥰
(Let’s ignore that I have no space for the remaining 16 volumes I’ll eventually collect, shh).

I’m in my last leg of my MA in history with a focus on contemporary Irish history.
One of the things I have to do is decide if I need a week or a month for my dream trip.

I did a thing and applied to the humanities department at the local community college to start an Associates of Arts in History. Obviously it’s just a start, but it IS a start!
