Is college study tips Texas worth it?

[AndrewLong]

I've been wondering if all these late nights in the archive are really worth it. Any tips on how to ace my Texas History and American History courses while diving deep into Historical Methods?

The struggle is real, especially when it comes to finding the right sources for my papers. Any fellow Texans out there facing the same challenges?

Here's what saved me in Historical Methods: start with bibliographies of good books on your topic. Seriously, it's like getting a treasure map to the best primary sources without the aimless digging. Also, the Handbook of Texas Online has been my absolute lifesaver for quick context when I'm stuck.

Is it worth it? Honestly, yeah. When you finally find that one letter or newspaper clipping that nobody else has used? Pure magic. Makes the late nights worth it. Just make sure you're taking breaks—burnout is real! What era are you researching?
