In the humanities, you will benefit greatly by reading and then reading some more. You will be fine; it just takes a while longer. If you have good reading skills, you might be ahead of your peers.



I second this. Being well-read is probably the most important thing in humanities, IMHO. Get a list of classic books and try to make sure you have read some of the top books. In my son’s private school, they are required to read a ton more than the local public schools. I think that and good writing skills makes it easier to do well in college - especially in a liberal arts field. Good luck.
