AGREE AGREE AGREE!!!! I've taken a gender and queer studies class, and that may have been the most eye-opening, fun class ever. My class was basically like if Instagram commentors were brought together into one room to debate each other about their personal views. While the professor did generally keep us on track, she would also let folks speak their mind, which led to some amazing discussions. Not sure what stance folks are taking with the current (us) government, but the gender studies class that I took is apparently now rebranded as 'sociology' and there's now a straight male teacher. I think that's a shame.
Understanding how we get information seems important, and not a typical college course
Also, I wishI’d taken something like weight training
Feminist/queer/Black studies to get a different perspective than you’ll find in most classes
Any history or art class you might like
And, you might not be going to Yale, but there’s a free Yale Psychology of Well Being class on Coursera I highly recommend

That on its own would be pretty embarrassing, but my kneecap hit the wall on it's way down.. I don't know which was more humbling, having to tell people why my knee was injured, or having to tell my parents (who I'm still living with) about why their wall was dented. so I hope that makes you feel better 😭

Usually hanging out with folks ends up costing me 5-15 dollars, depending on where I am. And that's on the cheaper side. A great alternative that I found out recently, is just to take your dog(s) for a walk around the city or town. Get with some friends, walk around with their dogs or your dogs (or both) and get a little fresh air. Today was my friend's dog's day, we (me and two others) took turns holding the leash and chatted for almost two hours. $0 spent, no unnecessary/boredom snacking (which I've found is usually a problem), and roughly 3 miles walked. We had a blast. (Obviously you can just walk without a dog, but I found that the dog distracts us from going into random stores and restaurants out of boredom.)

9 miles, not too steep. I love going to different states and exploring wilderness there.
