Astronomy or Geology easier?

I'm not good at math or science and am just looking for the easiest choice. I need to take two consecutive semesters of a sequential science with a lab.
I've already taken agronomy so i need a science on the other side. I think my options are astronomy and geology. which is easier/requires less work?

Astronomy. The first two geology classes will make you want to stab your eyes out

Once you get into astronomy there is tons of math, and astrophysics I would imagine bleeds over into it. I would think that a legit astronomy degree would be very math heavy.

Probably astronomy. Geology isn't exactly easy. Plus, it would be cool to know some basic astronomy and take a lab to look through telescopes and shite versus licking rocks in a lab

Unless you look forward to memorizing a butt load of rock types and formations, go with astronomy. On the up side, some day in the future you can amaze some girl by naming some star formation. I highly doubt you will get the chance to point out a large buried rock formation to a chick.

Geology 1003 was the most boring class I ever took at LSU. It was so miserable

I thought geology wasn't too difficult. Don't know shite about astrology but will check my horoscope now and again

GEOLOGY IS FOR PEOPLE WITH ROCKS IN THEIR HEAD

Can't get more boring than studying rocks.

I would bet Astronomy is way more fun. I didn't take an astronomy sequence but I think only of the two has any math.

Geology is easier in my opinion, but just pick whatever you are most interested in.

Astronomy

They both get difficult the deeper into the science you go.

Dinosaur bones are technically rocks.
You think dinosaurs are boring?

You don't have to worry about any of that stuff for a core requirement astronomy series. It's just looking at some pretty pictures and factoids about space.

You are correct. LSU Physics and Astronomy major classes go hand in hand.

You should embrace Oort.

I took 2 semesters of astronomy. Don't remember there being much math at all. Take the British guy Hynes if you can. He was a great professor and really laid back

Took both at LSU. Geology easier.
