Get an upperclassman who's already been through what you're facing to mentor you, a good one will keep you focused on what's important and won't have you wasting time on non-essentials.

You were given part of the answer already... Mankind has made many mistakes. If you don't study history, then you don't know what mistakes have been made in the past, so you cannot improve the future by not repeating those mistakes. Also, learning history tells you a lot about the personalities, habits and mores of various peoples, various countries, various races. The more you know about other people, races and countries, the more intelligent you are... the more interesting you are to talk to... If you don't want to bother learning about history, and other people, countries and races, then you won't be an educated, interesting person that everyone would want to know. If you don't know history, you lack much of the information needed to base your opinions on. There are lots of other reasons, but I doubt you'll accept them because all you want to do is rebel against studying history. I don't think you really want to be given a reason to study it.

I always associated an history/ political event with a song....
Battle of New Orleans- 1814 (in 1814 we took a little trip along with Col Jackson down the Mighty Mississip...) i'm sure this song is on the Internet some where
The Kent Sate Massacre (Crosby Still Nash and Young )1970 (may 4th)
The Song Eve of Distruction covers the 60's and 70's
The American revolution - star spangled banner
If you look into an event- 9 times out of 10 there was a song written about it!

One of the best resources I have found to really learn history is a timeline. This helps you visualize when events happened and what else was going on in the world at the time. You can write in the dates people lived, dates events happened (D-Day, for instance), and the years different civilizations existed.
You can make one very easily in Excel. Just pick your dates and the size of your timeline (longer - more pages - is definitely better) and print. Then you can write the events in their proper places. I printed one for each of the four time periods we're going to be studying. There are also lots of resources on the web - just search for history timeline.

The easiest way to learn history is to think about what you are studying as a story and then tell yourself the story at night when yo ucannot go to sleep, or when you are broed and have nothing to do. It works wonders. I have not gotten a B in a history class in college yet.

History is basically 20-30 things that happen hundreds of times. Look at it that way and put the names and dates to each thing.

Learn the historical background of the era you study. Put yourself in the situation and examine how you would respond to the events described in the text. It will help you remember.

Well it depends. Like if you want to learn about the boston tea party read books or go to the internet.

Study what the teacher teaches you and what's in the book the teacher gives you.
