Your major might be on your diploma, but let’s be real — your favorite class in college says way more about who you are. Whether you loved dissecting poetry, crunching numbers, or just vibing in your one “easy A” elective, there’s a little truth in what clicked for you. Here’s what your go-to class really says about your personality (no psych degree required).
1. Psychology
You like reading people as much as books. You probably said “this is just like that one theory” at least once per party. Friends come to you for advice — but you secretly psychoanalyze them while they talk.
2. Economics
You think in terms of opportunity cost — even when ordering lunch. You’re into systems, trends, and trying to explain the entire world using supply and demand. You’re either a future startup founder or already working in finance.
3. Creative Writing
You journaled before it was cool and correct people’s misuse of “your.” You love metaphors, hate small talk, and probably had a Tumblr. You have big ideas and zero tolerance for cliché.
4. Biology
You memorized 150 terms for one quiz and kind of loved it. You’re fascinated by life, grossed out by nothing, and secretly judge people who say “germs aren’t real.” You either went pre-med or told everyone you almost did.
5. Philosophy
You loved office hours more than lectures. You probably asked the professor questions that made the whole class groan. You’re either deeply insightful… or just really, really into debating things that don’t have answers.
6. History
You see everything as a long timeline with patterns, cycles, and consequences. You’re great at trivia and likely have strong opinions about historical dramas. You’ve definitely said, “Actually, that’s not historically accurate.”
7. Math
You’re low-key a problem solver in all areas of life. You don’t fear complexity — in fact, you thrive on it. You probably have a favorite calculator model, and spreadsheets make you happy.
8. Art History
You appreciate beauty, irony, and a well-framed slide presentation. You love museums, Pinterest boards, and finding meaning in things most people ignore. You also know exactly what kind of lighting makes a photo work.
9. Public Speaking / Communications
You’re confident (or fake it flawlessly). You think fast, talk faster, and probably have a folder of memes for every occasion. You’re the group project MVP — or the one who just presents everything and lets everyone else coast.
10. Astronomy
You have existential crises for fun. You love space, Carl Sagan quotes, and thinking about how small we all are. You probably aced your night lab while pondering the meaning of life.
11. Intro to Film Studies
You watch movies with subtitles on and take mental notes. You casually mention cinematography in regular conversation. You once got into a passionate argument about whether a scene needed that lens flare.
12. Business / Marketing
You networked at orientation. You had a side hustle before TikTok was a thing. You see trends before they happen, love a good personal brand, and believe Canva is a personality trait.
Did we read you like a textbook? Or totally miss the mark? Either way — your favorite class left its mark on you, even if you haven’t opened a syllabus in years.
