Have you ever taken a class in school just because you had a crush on someone who would be in the class?

yup. Thats mainly how I ended up with a masters in evolutionary biology that I don’t need and never use.

The last time I did this I was 11 and it was for an english class, hehe, now I’ve grow up (I guess :p)

Yup. Shit, I even transferred schools to be with my Jr. High/High School boyfriend. I transferred from AP English to Senior Comp/Lit because my best friend didn’t want to take AP English. I think most kids have done this at some point or another.

Yep, but I didn’t realize it at the time.

No. “lightlyseared” gives a good explanation of the potential pitfalls of doing so.

I remember when, in high school, this GUY signed up for HOME EC.

Everyone laughed at him and called him all kinds of disgusting names, and questioned his sexual orientation.

But not for long…

One day, after a whole bunch of name-calling, he suddenly spun around and said, “You guys are MORONS! Did you ever stop to think WHY I signed up for HOME ECONOMICS?”

When we told him that we didn’t know, he said, “Because I am the ONLY GUY, in a classroom with THIRTY GIRLS! I have all those delicious babes, ALL TO MYSELF, and I if I could get by with signing up for WOMEN’S GYM CLASSES, I would do THAT, too!”

He then stormed off, leaving the rest of us guys with our jaws hanging open.

The next school year, EIGHTY-FIVE GUYS signed up to take “Home Ec.”

To this day, at my former high school, any “Home Economics” class has an almost equal number of males and females, and many of the guys sign up for it, for the sole purpose of “impressing the Babes.”

And a few of the guys make the horrible mistake of getting better grades than them, too!

That thought never crossed my mind.

Not a class but a sport – Track and Field. Not only was it the only sport with boys, but the school president/captain of the football team/total babe was a hurdler, and having made varsity as a lowly freshman not only did I get to ride the bus to meets with him but he would say “Sup” and WINK at me in the halls….siiiggghhhhhh.

in junior high i sure did.
