If you were anything like me as a kid, pandas, you probably didn’t pay very close attention in history class. Memorizing dates and names seemed like such a bore, and my teachers could not manage to get the importance of the subject through my thick skull. But now that I’m an adult, I am fascinated by learning more about the world’s past, so I’m doing everything I can to catch up on those lessons I snoozed through.
Lucky for me, there are plenty of online resources available to increase my historical knowledge, including the Historic Daily Dose Instagram page.
