Why Economics Is The Worst Subject Ever

Forever wondering when the economy is in a surplus or shortage.

Why Economics Is The Worst Subject Ever
bezinga.com

Economics has to be literally the worst subject ever. Seriously, you wouldn't think it would be that hard (oh, but it is). You start with some simple concepts learning who are the consumers and who are the producers. You know, the people who buy stuff and the people that sell it. Everything is going swell, you even understand surpluses and shortages. But then... there's math and equations and literally it all hits the fan.

You manage to pass your microeconomic class... oh but you have to know about macroeconomics. To tell you how relevant this class is to my business administration degree, my father who also has a business administration degree can only tell you that he learned about the bird's view and worm's view of the economy. If only my college professors made it that simple.


Somehow in macroeconomics I had to figure out what would happen if this producer produced this amount of money or who would have the comparative advantage (okay comparative advantage is easy) but that's not the point. Seriously, there's even MORE math and MORE equations I have to know. Honestly accounting is more pleasurable than both of these classes combined.

Now here I am, two years later sitting in an International Economics class. I thought it would be cool to get "international" thrown into my degree, so I have to take basically the same classes I've already taken, but just with the fancy international spin on it. To keep this very long story short: I am literally the only student in that class who isn't specializing in economics. You know the kind of people who are good at economics? Only the people that get a degree in economics. My teacher has even made comments on why I don't join in on discussion days. This is why:


This is literally all I know and why I hate economics. Oh, and if any of my professors read this, I'm sorry I love you but I hate econ <3. Much love, peace, and less econ.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
