Who said I'm going to take a class I'm not interested in? Why do you think I'm hesitant to take dance even though it's the one people say will have the most women? Why do you think I don't want to take women's studies? Just because I'm looking for a class with more women than my in-major courses, doesn't mean I'm going to take History of Menstruation just because I think it'll have 500 women in it.
And no, college isn't just about getting an education and working towards a job. How many people go out into the "real world" and don't go into what they studied in college? A whole lot. College is also about meeting new people. I don't see why that's so hard to understand for a couple of you.
And yes, Psychology is at the top of my list since I already took Intro to Psychology and actually liked it. I might take Abnormal Psychology next since that's what my Psych major friend suggested.

Well, it's a bit different in America and even here in Scotland, I guess, but in Germany, you definitely go into what you're studying. I think the U.S. and Canada are about the only countries where you can still take subjects other than your major in your final year - which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing. And personally, I don't think you learn that many life-relevant things in uni. Uni doesn't grow people up, we need to grow ourselves up, in a way.
In any case, I think Abnormal Psychology sounds like a really interesting subject.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
