"Understanding stress Management." Needed another elective my senior year last semester. We laid on towels on the floor and listened to ocean and whale noises for an hour. Used to roll in there stoned to the bone.

Raquetball - has no business being a college course



I took Racquetball too. We played some racquetball in the first 2 meetings. I honestly don't recall seeing the instructor ever again after the first week.

A geology course at lsu about dinosaurs. Lady sat at the front and rambled on about who knows what every class. A topic that could have been interesting was made into a nap class.

Intro to college. Took it over the summer. Half the class was football players, so that should tell you about how hard it was.


Most colleges make these mandatory nowadays


Fun fact: I got a C in "SE 101" because it was the last class of my day at 5pm-6:30 pm, so I skipped pretty much every class for 2 months until my professor informed me that I had an F because they have a quiz every class that I have missed.

First wake up call of college and ended up with an LSU degree on the wall still somehow :lol;

Any 1000 level communication class


Like a public speaking class that everyone usually has to take?

I would argue that's one of the more important classes at any college for the majority of students. Gets you out of your comfort zone, gets you to meet new people, learn your strengths and weaknesses as a speaker, and generally makes you more confident for similar projects throughout your career

-bowling
-weight lifting
-logic
-jazz history

Though actually jazz history was pretty interesting and satisfied a history and multicultural requirement, so double win.

I thought logic might be interesting. It was awful. Nothing but solving proofs. Ugh.

I took Tennis at State my last year. The instructor was a hit as hell grad student that had played tennis at UNA.

The class consisted of knowing how to keep score in tennis and being able to make your way through a best of five games set with this instructor playing soft.

She was good enough to crush all of us but she let us win some points. One guy won two games from her and started talking smack and she got serious and won three straight.

Not dumb in the sense that I actually learned a game and it was interesting. But dumb that I used it to graduate.

This was mine. I also took a "hiking class" which was just a bunch of kids getting stoned in the woods.

"If you take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the facts of life" sounds like pretty applicable life advice, actually.
