Why Economics Is The Worst Subject Ever

Forever wondering when the economy is in a surplus or shortage.

Why Economics Is The Worst Subject Ever
bezinga.com

Economics has to be literally the worst subject ever. Seriously, you wouldn't think it would be that hard (oh, but it is). You start with some simple concepts learning who are the consumers and who are the producers. You know, the people who buy stuff and the people that sell it. Everything is going swell, you even understand surpluses and shortages. But then... there's math and equations and literally it all hits the fan.

You manage to pass your microeconomic class... oh but you have to know about macroeconomics. To tell you how relevant this class is to my business administration degree, my father who also has a business administration degree can only tell you that he learned about the bird's view and worm's view of the economy. If only my college professors made it that simple.


Somehow in macroeconomics I had to figure out what would happen if this producer produced this amount of money or who would have the comparative advantage (okay comparative advantage is easy) but that's not the point. Seriously, there's even MORE math and MORE equations I have to know. Honestly accounting is more pleasurable than both of these classes combined.

Now here I am, two years later sitting in an International Economics class. I thought it would be cool to get "international" thrown into my degree, so I have to take basically the same classes I've already taken, but just with the fancy international spin on it. To keep this very long story short: I am literally the only student in that class who isn't specializing in economics. You know the kind of people who are good at economics? Only the people that get a degree in economics. My teacher has even made comments on why I don't join in on discussion days. This is why:


This is literally all I know and why I hate economics. Oh, and if any of my professors read this, I'm sorry I love you but I hate econ <3. Much love, peace, and less econ.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
