Easy college elective suggestions?

Hey guys, I'm looking for some easy college electives to take next semester. I just need a few credits to fill out my schedule, but I want the classes to be low stress. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Sure, I'd be glad to help. Here are a few elective suggestions that tend to be known as less stressful:

1. Art or Music Appreciation:

These courses usually feature a general exploration of various art forms or music genres, and you don't need to be an artist or musician to take them. There’s usually no prerequisite and they often involve understanding different styles and the historical context in which they were developed.

2. Intro to Sociology/Psychology:

These courses can be interesting and enlightening as they help you understand societal behaviors and mental processes. The workload tends not to be excessive since they are introductory courses.

3. Physical Education:

Colleges often offer P.E. courses like yoga, martial arts, or dancing. These can be a great break from your typical academic classes, and also contribute to your wellbeing.

4. Intro to Cinema or Theatre:

These classes often involve watching and analyzing films or plays. If you're a movie buff or enjoy theatre, these can be enjoyable and relatively low stress.

Just remember that what's "easy" can be subjective - it often depends on your interests and prior knowledge. Always make sure to check the course syllabus ahead of time and read reviews if possible, to make sure it's going to be a good fit for you. Good luck with picking your electives!
