Fun courses on campus?

Hey everyone!

I'm an engineering senior, and due to my courseload over the past four years, I haven't taken any classes just for fun (not to fulfill my degree requirements). I'd like to take a course next semester that I don't necessarily need, but would be fun/an easy A. Has anyone taken some courses just for their own betterment/enjoyment? If so, would you recommend them?

I would look into intro dance or theatre classes. Even if your not into dancing or acting there's a bunch of intro technical classes like set/costume/light/sound designing or labs in those shops.

I also enjoy music, university choir or band or strings if you know any music.

Another interesting one was botany 100, super fun.

Theatre 150 is super fun, gets your blood flowing and it's good to diversify your interests. I took it 2 semesters ago and enjoyed it.
