As I sit down to write this blog post, I am filled with a sense of nostalgia and accomplishment. Today marks a significant milestone in my blogging journey - my 100th blog post! I started this blog in my 100 level, 2nd semester, and it's amazing to see how far I've come.
As a student of History and International Studies, I must say that my journey has been nothing short of remarkable. When I first started, I thought History was going to be a boring and monotonous subject. But boy, was I wrong! History and International Studies have given me a new perspective on life, and I'm excited to share my experiences with you.
One of the things I've learned is that History is not just about memorizing dates and events. It's about understanding the complexities of human societies, cultures, and economies. It's about analyzing the past to make sense of the present and shape the future. And it's about developing critical thinking, research, and analytical skills that are essential for success in any field.
Another thing I've discovered is that History and International Studies are not isolated subjects. They are interconnected with other disciplines like Politics, Economics, Sociology, and Anthropology. By studying History and International Studies, I've gained a deeper understanding of the world and its complexities.
One of the most exciting aspects of my journey has been the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and great people in the field. Through social media, I've been able to handle History-related accounts with massive audiences, which has been mind-blowing. I've also had the privilege of meeting and learning from renowned historians and international relations experts.
My journey has also taught me that there's more to History and International Studies than what we learn in the classroom. There are countless job opportunities available, from being an IR journalist, envoy, or diplomat to working in international organizations, museums, archives, and cultural institutions. The possibilities are endless!
As I reflect on my journey, I realize that History and International Studies require a strategic approach. You need to be a consistent learner, always updating yourself with current events and developments around the world. You need to be curious, critical, and analytical, always questioning assumptions and challenging prevailing narratives.
Through this blog, I've been able to share my passion for History and International Studies with others. I've written about various topics, from the impact of colonialism on African societies to the role of international organizations in promoting global peace and security. I've also shared my thoughts on current events, such as the Israel-Hamas conflict and its implications for global governance.
As I celebrate my 100th blog post, I'm filled with gratitude for the opportunity to share my journey with others. I'm also excited to see what the future holds for me and for this blog. If you're a fellow student of History and International Studies, I hope my story inspires you to pursue your passion with dedication and enthusiasm. And if you're interested in collaborating or connecting with me, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to hearing from you and continuing to share my journey with you.
