What This Blog Contains

My name is Enrique A. Marquez and I am currently working on getting my Bachelor's Degree in history from California State University, Northridge. I was previously a student at my hometown high school, Westlake High, and my local junior college, Moorpark College, where I obtained my Associate's Degree in history.

This blog will focus on my journey as a student of history and helpful hints to succeeding at all levels of academia. One of the biggest misconceptions about higher learning is that you must be intelligent to get a college degree. This is patently false, evident from the classmates I have encountered in my path and even some of the teachers I have learned from.

Each day I will post a story or anecdote that corresponds to a lesson that students (and even instructors) can learn about succeeding in school. This blog will be focused for mostly history majors, but most of the things you learn in school actually apply to all subjects. 

You will learn how to take notes better, study more effectively, write better term papers, and impress your instructors like you never thought possible!
