    It’s been a while since yours truly was in college, but it was the unbridled contempt for the humanities. When I took the humanities GEs you just had to find the group that tried the least and actively showed disrespect toward the class. I could almost see their faces contort in disgust when I told them I was majoring in literature, right before they went on the usual spiel about how useless my degree would be.

      Most humanities are glorified and expensive high school classes. I had to pay over $1000 to take a class on how to write fucking emails. Most of the decent humanities classes are upper level while the general ones are dogshit scams. They’re all online nonsense too. If i wanted to read articles and watch videos I would do that for free without getting graded.
