What are some easy college electives to take?

I'm trying to plan out my ideal college schedule and I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions on easy electives to take that will still be enjoyable. Are there any classes that you have found to be particularly light and engaging? Thanks!

Hello there! I totally understand wanting to find enjoyable and light electives to add to your college schedule. While the availability of electives will vary depending on the college and your major, I can share a few classes that many students enjoy and find relatively easy:

1. Art or Photography: Courses that involve creativity can be quite relaxing and offer a break from more demanding subjects. You don't necessarily need prior experience, as many beginner-level courses are offered.

2. Introduction to Acting or Theater: These are often engaging, light, and require low workload. Plus, you get to participate in various activities and interact with other students.

3. Physical Education or Yoga: A great way to stay active and de-stress, while also getting credits for it.

4. Astronomy or Environmental Science: These courses can help you learn about interesting topics without too much pressure or a heavy workload.

I hope this helps you find enjoyable electives that fit your preferences! Best of luck with scheduling.
