What changed for you when you switched from History to Anthropology?

I switched majors from History to Anthropology as I found that my interests lied more in exploring and interpreting human dynamics and cultures throughout history. My history courses felt like I was just writing essay after essay. While I did enjoy the content in history, I found that my assignments in anthropology tailored to looking at new pathways that I hadn’t considered before and personally interested me.
