I could have stopped at a Taylor Swift class. Any college that offers credit for education on Taylor Swift makes me question the value of their degrees. I've heard on a podcast about a Beatles course too, I think at USC. Also useless. The closest I did in college was I suppose what you'd call "music appreciation" but we went into the history of music going back to the beginning and the structure of classical music, etc. None of which could you find in a Taylor Swift song.
I had a choice between music appreciation, art appreciation, and philosophy. I chose philosophy despite it being known for being difficult because the other two would have bored me to death.
I took philosophy first, dropped it while I could still get my money back because the female professor was crazy. I can't remember why I picked music after, probably scheduling. I worked when I was in college. Scheduling trumped everything including my own boredom, it was all about checking off credits on a list.
Philosophy classes are the weirdest fucking courses and pure intellectual drivel at the end. I took it about a decade ago, the intellectual leap from sophists to sperging intersectional feminism and a “post violence society” had me crying laughing because I got other students to say stupid shit like “if the union forces were entirely compromised by women they still would have won the civil war” (neck beard) and “how difficult can it be to shoot a rifle” (wahman)
Ah yeah. My a friend of mine had the same situation, although I think he took a W and lost the money. I lucked out and got a middle aged white guy.
