Any recommendations for fun/interesting electives in high school?

Absolutely, it's always great to mix up your schedule with classes that you find interesting! Keep in mind though, everyone has different tastes, so here are a few suggestions:

1. Film Studies: If you're a movie buff, a film studies class can be a blast. They typically delve into the history of cinema, feature cinematography, film analysis, and often will let you watch classic movies in class. Plus, you'll gain a new appreciation for the art form and can impress your friends with your film knowledge!

2. Creative Writing: If you enjoy writing stories or poems in your spare time, a creative writing class can provide an outlet to share your work, receive feedback and enhance your writing skills. Plus, it can be satisfying to finish the course with a portfolio of your work.

3. Psychology: Ever wonder why people behave the way they do? A psychology class can give you insight into human behavior and teach you about different psychological theories. It’s a fascinating subject and could potentially apply to any future career.

4. Computer Science: Even if you're not planning on going into a tech field, having a basic understanding of computer science can be super beneficial in today's digital age. You might learn to code or build a website, or at least understand more about how the technology you use every day works.

5. Photography: If you like taking pictures, a photography class can help you elevate your skills. You'll learn about different techniques, photo editing, and even develop your artistic eye.

Remember, while electives should be enjoyable, it's also ideal to choose classes that might tie into your potential college major or your long-term interests. So if you're passionate about a particular subject or field, look for electives that align with that!
