Why are history majors so weird?

That is the greatest question of our time.
Not only are history majors weird, but so are history grad students, and history professors.
None are "self important" like you'd find in the English department.
Just weird as fuck.

Today I got this text/had this conversation after talking to Maria about history majors:

Random Number: Hey I just signed up for Modern Africa.
Me: Cool? I won't be in class today. I already saw the movie Ayana is showing.
Random Number: What books do we need?
Me: We need like 2. I don't remember them though.
Random Number: I just bought them. Did you get yours?
Me: Yeah I bought them from betterworldbooks.
Random Number: Cool.
Random Number: You in Arby's?
Me: No. Jazzman's.
Random Number: Sorry wrong person.
Me: Uhhhmmm, okay...nice to meet you? See you in class?
Random Number: Ok.

Seriously. I seriously screamed, "What the Actual Fuck is going on?" in the middle of Jazzman's while this happened. Maria and Matt stared at me. Then I said, "This guy! Look at this. Who is this? How does that happen? Out of all the numbers in the world. Why did I get this text about a specific class I am taking as well?"

Even Maria thought it was weird.

Maria: History majors are just really passionate that we don't have time to be normal. Like we get orgasms over documentaries. I will tape everything about skin head gangs because they are so interesting to me. 

Megan: Once...I stayed up all night, knowing I had school, to watch a documentary on the Black Death I had already seen. 

Maria: See! 

Megan: This is coming from the same girl who thinks cemeteries are romantic. 

Maria: Hahahahahha.
