The start with the Greeks thing is a good way to get into Plato but asks you to read all this history first. Which is alot to request. What do you find interesting about philosphy?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_philosophy

There is philosphy of art, consciousness, ethics, science ETC...

I would suggest, knowing that you are probably a young caucaian male. To read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Obviously. To get your emotions in check (Stoicism). If you want to get into the "whats the point of life" stuff. Then read Nausua by Sartre. Or The Myth of Sisyphus by Camus. All entry level stuff, but ubiquitous and classic for a reason.

Go in order and read plenty of secondary literature along the primary works, or you will misunderstand everything.

The wisest thing would be to choose a university with a detailed course info page, pretend you are studying there, and copy their curriculum.
