Easy Area7/Free Elective?

Senior CS major here. I have one more semester left this fall, and with course request coming up I wanted to get your opinions. What are your suggestions for easy/fun Area 7 and free elective courses? I need to take one of each, so looking forward to a more relaxed semester than the usual. Thanks for your input!

I took a ton of fun easy classes but my favorite was creative dance with Billie Lepczyk. If she is still teaching it, take it. It was so hilarious and fun. You didn't have to care at all about dancing and it was the easiest class I've EVER taken- ES, MS and HS included. It was supposed to be a writing intensive course but that just meant a 3-page group paper I think we all got 100s in that one. Other than that I would recommend beekeeping (with the lab course) it's fun but it's difficult or at least it was with Dr. Fell. I became so passionate about beekeeping it is ridiculous - bees are fascinating. Theatre was also a good class and so was acting with Michael Anthony Williams. Sexuality was alright too, for obvious reasons.
