That's a good question. Well, I'm a Political Science and History double major at my college. I'm a big reader and a big writer. Even from a young age I loved writing essays and papers. I've never taken a liking to any natural sciences or mathematics, which is unfortunate since STEM fields are where the money is.
My interest in the discipline of History started in junior high school when I had a fantastic teacher who really made learning history fun. I found the study so fascinating, and I couldn't fathom how my more math-geared peers didn't. I entered college as a History major and to be honest, it threw me for a loop for a while. The History Department at my college (which I prefer not to disclose the name of as I'd rather keep this profile pretty private) is renowned for its rigor. Great professors, but the workload surprised me. At first I hated it, but I quickly learned to love it. I never knew how much dispute there was among historians about...well, everything. The discipline of historiography may fascinate me the most. I also love learning about specific people in history. I love biographies. I just recently read Robert Caro's penultimate installment to his very detailed history on the life of Lyndon Banes Johnson. Fascinating stuff.
As for Political Science, my interest is mostly in studying institutions, and how they affect politics and political outcomes; "comparative politics" is what the academic community refers to that study as. That's something I find I need to specify frequently, since I am not all that active politically. People expect Poli Sci majors to be always up to date on politics and to always have an opinion on every political issue. I do try to stay informed, but studying for a Bachelor's degree in Poli Sci doesn't suddenly make me an expert on current political news. Some of my peers seem to forget that...

What do you look like?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
