    My college had “flat rate” tuition, so you paid about the same no matter how many classes you took.

    Wow. I would’ve abused that and dropped my GPA even lower than it was. XD

      I had a couple of 21 hour semesters, 18 hours during the main semester, 3 for intercessions.

      I took a two week course on the Vietnam war that kinda “peaked” me. I had done a project in high school and learned about My Lai on my own, but then learning that the Gulf of Tonkin was a false flag and how fucked it was that the US was like “yah no, we aren’t going to let you have the sovereignty you won” - it eroded any faith I had in the government.

      Another fave was a course on Byzantine art. The iconography was gorgeous - I was blessed to visit the Louvre a few years later and goddamn was it amazing to see those ikons.
