top 10: classes you should take Meagan O’Day wrote this So you’re majoring in multi-disciplinary studies or business simply because you’re content paying more money than you will make in ten years for that shiny diploma. It sounds boring because it is. School is supposed to be boring, or so we’ve thought for our entire academic lives. Composition and rhetoric are followed by anatomy and mathematics. Your schedule fills up with monotony and you consider possibly living in a box on High Street or better yet, living in your parents’ basement forever. The bad news is, of course, your parents won’t have that (the box thing is do-able but we both know you enjoy your student refund too much to live the life of a vagabond). The good news is that you will have a few open slots to decorate your sched with, and there are a few but important classes that every major should take. 10. Interpersonal communications: This class actually gives relationship advice, so you can stop Googling “How to make a guy like me” or “Having sex without having to pay for it,” while waiting for the bus. 9. Social work: This class gives insight into the different economic statuses of all people, and will help you better understand those who are different than yourself. It’s more book-heavy than street-heavy, so, you know, you don’t have to “get your hands dirty” by touching homeless people. Just kidding, charity is important. 8. Abnormal psychology: Just because you have anxiety, doesn’t make you abnormal. In fact, it’s about as abnormal as the PRT working for more than two days straight. But go ahead and diagnose yourself, tell your parents, and score some weird pharmaceuticals. 7. Nutrition: This drunk pizza has a large amount of saturated fat, guys. Dip it in cheese? More fat. Another beer? Carbs, so many carbs. You guys, this is the worst. So good, but so bad. 6. World religion: Rubbing Buddha’s belly is not a thing. Unless your teacher is a fat, hard grader. Then it might be a thing that separates a pass from a fail. 5. Women’s studies: A wonderful aid in the dating field, boys. You will learn to respect a woman’s vagina. VAGINA, DID YOU HEAR ME? DOES THIS MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE, YOU MYSOGINIST FUCK?

4. Economics: Boring as hell, but it will make you sound more intelligent when you actually understand what inflation really is. That and a Mexican Debt Pushdown, everyone loves the Mexican Debt Pushdown. On the other hand, you might just be talking about sex again. 3. Political science: “Let’s go to the Mountain Lair and discuss the apartheid.” Damn, you’re so aware. We’re electing a new king soon, so maybe this class will help when you force everyone at the pre-game to talk politics. I hope there is more beer here, or else we need to change the conversation.

2. Philosophy: How do you know you are taking this class? How do you know you know? 1. LGBTQ studies: The newest addition to Women’s and Gender Studies, this class will help you understand that you know next to nothing about what it is to be a male or female. Maybe that will free you, maybe you’ve felt constrained by that damn penis hanging around there. This class will open your eyes.
