Same here. I took Sociology because it was an easy A. Anyone who majored in Sociology would have been too stupid to major in Psychology.
We engineering students all were taught to take these classes to beef up our GPA. So, we took Astronomy, Photography, Scuba, Sociology, etc. It beat the heck out of Calculus III, Differential Equations, Statics, Mechanics,
I only had them (as a business-related major) because we were specifically required to take 12 credits outside the major and outside the general requirements; in hindsight I should have taken a language, but was warned at the time that language classes in college were much more difficult than the high school level (and I needed my study time to focus on classes in my major).
I was a night shift janitor at a small university while getting my civil engineering. My time at school was very limited ( i needed to sleep at least 3 hours a day) so I was limited on the electives I could take. History of Architecture and Fortran programming were the closest I could get to "easy A" electives, and they were anything but easy for me.
Thankfully the core classes of Junior and Senior year were very interesting for me and I did really well in them.
