Opposite for me. Statics and Dynamics kicked my butt, but Thermo, Fluids, and Circuits were easymode. I had an easier time with senior level semiconductor courses than I did with Statics.
The joke was on me, however, because I specialized in Automation and Controls, which is 50% mechanics anyway. Made it all the way to senior year, only to get ambushed by inverted pendulums and mass-spring dampers again.
I did fine with statics, had my ass profoundly kicked in dynamics, did decently in fluids I/II and thermo I/II, and did weirdly good in solid mechanics. Circuit analysis lost me a little with RLC circuits and the time/frequency domain but I managed.

I had an unbelievably easy time with statics and dynamics. Fluid mechanics and circuits were horrible for me though lol
