There are been some weird classes that I’ve heard about since I’ve been in college. I once took a sports ethics class which was once a month and really fun to be in. We basically did debates about views on sports. Another class I heard about was a Disney class. It was all about Disney characters and stories and I didn’t take it but my roommate did and she said they basically watched movies and looked for deeper meaning in them.
One of the weirdest classes though that I have ever heard about was one that my friend took that was called: betting odds.
The class was all about sports betting. It was actually in the math section when you went to go schedule classes and now counts as credit for an elective (we have to take a certain number of electives before we graduate). In the class they talked about sports odds in games like basketball and football and even things like card games.
While I think that this is a really weird class (you did have to be 21 to take it though), I think it is really cool that the school offered something liked his. They took something that many people enjoy and brought it into the classroom (for credit to graduate) and showed students how to both be better at it, as well as how to apply it in a math sense.
I’m not exactly sure what the teacher did to prepare to teach this course or how you are even qualified to teach it ha but it definitely sounds like a fun class to take. It is nice that there are classes that we can use to fill requirements that are fun, practical and help to lighten our load. If you are taking a class like this (among all of your other classes) you have a chance to sit back and enjoy a class that isn’t part of your required (and usually really hard) major work.
With all of the crazy classes offered right now for us as electives, I can’t wait to see what they will have in 30 years when our kids are in college. Instead of sitting in a classroom reading or hearing a teacher lecture, there will probably be classes on how to walk on the moon or something crazy like that!

I recently got into playing poker, blackjack and Texas hold ‘em. I don’t know why but I went to a casino last week and was hooked. Now before you lecture me on gambling I am responsible and let me tell you, the rush is unbelievable. But I know a lot of you guys do not live near a casino or anything but have no fear: there are online sites you can play at. Full tilt poker is somewhere you can play online and it’s obviously totally safe and wickedly fun. Now I recommend giving yourself limits of course as I do not want to be the cause of you to go bankrupt (insert funny laugh here). Most of the sites are designed to create the best online experience while poker experience. They chat with players of all experience and levels so you don’t need to be a pro or anything, it’s just something fun and exciting to do. They do try to make you a better poker player in the end though. It is extremely safe too obvious and they use really secure servers so if you were worried about that, don’t be ya’ll! Full Tilt was created by poker champs including Phil Ivey, Allen Cunningham, Gus Hansen and Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, so every poker fan knows Full Tilt because of them,plus the TV exposure of full tilt. They do also have 24/7 customer support which is an essential feature too for those unsure or who need their support. They also do offer sign-up bonuses so be sure to check those out before beginning or signing up. I know they had like a $600 start up bonus but don’t quote me on that guys and gals. Now, you do not need to play against people like Mr. Ivey or anything but if you really want to, you surely can. There are pros in there as well as amateurs like me in there. A lot of professional players use their real names and add avatars of themselves so you can see who you are playing against/with. They have a great variety of games as well which is a big perk. So if you’re at home and interested, be sure to cruise over to the Full Tilt Poker site and have at it. Maybe you could play a few rounds with friends first,going in blind is not recommended though,well you can, but don’t.
