History has been a subject I've studied as a hobby for years: when I was in high school, I had to take a bus from my home to the school, all the travel time was about 1 hour. So it added up to 2 hours, 5 times a week. Add to that the lunch breaks, and it added up to a total of 20 hours or so, most of which I spent reading articles and books on the subject. And the great thing is that it didn't feel like a chore at all, and was fairly fun.
I've already been trying to do some articles, but they haven't been very popular so far, because I don't have access to new sources and documents, still being an average Joe, but I hope my studies will allow me to get into the field a bit more and maybe help me getting started.
The way we study history is also very nice: because we're more focused on trying to figure out how things happen rather than just learning what happened, it feels more like a story happening rather than a series of information you have to simply learn. I don't know if it's how they do it at your uni, however.
I've also had a bit of philosophy, and it gave me some interesting insight and lots of things to think about, which is why I probably would enjoy studying it as well.
Also, on a completely unrelated note, I was afraid for a second that the thread would die with my post being last, which terrifies me every time.
