his IT classes are not fluff, so i know he wants these cake things to help keep the GPA up. You never want to be dragged down with nonrequired classes. He also has some elective geology class on volcanoes, which is not a gut.
I hope you did teach him how to cook a few things himself before he went to college.
When I had a free elective my senior year, I took a philosophy class. That’s how I know about people like Kierkegaard and Nietzsche.
