mike-
congrats! The most important thing that college teaches you is HOW to think. Given what you said about your interests, I recommend psychology. Of all the college classes I have taken (including grad school), the two classes I learned the most in were "Human Perception" and "Intro Psych." The unit on High Control groups hit close to home.
As what to avoid, I agree with Woody Allen: "Stay away from any class with Beowolf in the title."
good luck.

Congratultions Mike,
Tommorow is my first day at Sac State. I attended a local junior college for a couple of years and transferred after deciding to major in Sociology. Just as a suggestion one of my favorite courses was "critical thinking" it gave me new perspectives and helped me to feel comfortable with not knowing all the answers. Another tip for choosing a course is to go to the book store and look at the texts to see which ones interest you. I have found that most professors who have written their own text books are wonderful instructors (they tend to stay on schedule and are very passionate about the courses they teach). You may not feel ready to take comparative religion at this time but don't rule it out completely it was a real eye opener for me. Best Wishes in your pursuits.
one of my favorite GE classes was Biopsychology...

Music (always fun and pretty easy)
Linguistics
Environmental studies (I had a course in the Geography dept)
Women's Studies (nice to have a class with a healthy female:male ratio)
