Some of the “useless” classes I took ended up being some of the most valuable. As a STEM-minded person, I also don’t particularly like writing long papers, but the writing class I took this semester really did improve my writing skills (which are pretty important, no matter what field you’re in).
Next semester, try to choose some courses that satisfy gen ed requirements that sound interesting to you - and don’t go into them with the mindset that they’ll be useless and boring.
