Well I'm studying politics right now, i don't have anyone to study with so i just end up reading and reading. It doesn't seem like I'm learning anything
Politics, huh? I guess the best way you can feel you've actually learned something is to apply your knowledge to actual recent cases. Though I have absolutely no idea what your curriculum looks like (I'm an IT engineering student), you might even be able to find discussions about what you're studying on Hubski or other communities. You could also maybe broaden your study to recent events that may apply to your subject. In any case, I think politics is a subject you have to debate with other people to actually learn from it long term, so I'd advise you to find debating partners if possible. Can be from your entourage as well as from the Internet.
