That sounds pretty cool. Been having to research most of history pre-1914 on my own, can get pretty confusing. Still, a great thing to learn.
Most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or talking about.

History is best subject, I get to learn about stuff I like for school credit.

As you can tell, I hated English.

Math is where I sucked at. Put me in biology and I excel.

I picked foreign language and art. Languages are cool because like math there's always a right answer derived through knowing grammar, but it's an easy class so nothing is ever killer difficult. It's also cool to notice ways your language is related to the one you study. Also love me some making lists, and the teacher was inoffensive and good at his job, which i appreciated.

Even though a few teachers tried to convince my classes that art was not a slacker class, it was still the only class in which anyone could do the work automatically and carry on talking or thinking about things besides the classwork, unless it was a rare lesson, but those were usually interesting and short.

History through and through. There's something beautiful about looking into the past. French and Calc BC trail behind that. The former because I love the language and the nitty-gritty of the grammar. I'm unsure as to why I love the ladder, I just do.

Probably my major, environmental science.

Government, history, and humanities used to be really interesting to me, but maybe I'm just burned out on those types of classes.

History, English, and drama were my three favorite subjects in school. Can't say the same for math though...

Math is my favorite. I still love it now, but man, University math really broke my rose-tinted glasses. All letters. LETTERS! I am lucky if I saw a 0 or an 1 somewhere in the equations.

Computing is fun now, but last time, it was a total bore. Very basic stuff like drawing on Inkscape or GIMP.

I wish I paid more attention in Music. It was pretty fun looking back, just listening and relaxing. With that, there was this song called Czech Canon that is very much stuck with me. Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere on YouTube or the internet itself. I only found the lyrics:

Hey ho, hey ho, tell me where you’re going?
Up hill, down hill, where the wind is blowing.
This road, that road, here and there and yonder.
Up hill, down hill, anywhere to wander.

I might of liked history.

My favorite class in my undergrad had to be History through Nazi Germany or Imperialism in the Pacific. Both had amazing professors.

Says this as he's grading his 200th paper as a graduate in a history program. They said I could eat when I got to 500.

Otherwise, I was big fan of Mathematics and Economics. When I first went to my undergrad, I was actually an Econ major for my first year.

I love science of course, because I'm a naturally curious guy.
My favorite subject however has to be history. I really just love to imagine in my head how people lived through the centuries, from serfs in the Middle Ages to helots of the Spartans, to de Valois kings of France. It's just great.
I'm also pretty good at writing (prose), so literature and history of literature were also interesting subjects.
Mathematics is also pretty fun, but for me gets boring. Same thing with IT and computer science.

Based on the subjects I am currently studying in college (using British definition), ranked from most to least favourite.

Biology
Geography
Chemistry

I enjoy all my subjects, but chemistry is at the bottom because some of the calculations can be tricky.

Back in secondary school my favourite was the sciences, with maths being meh. My least favourites being English because I found it boring, and foreign languages, because I was made to learn German which I was not interested in I would of enjoyed if I could learn a more useful language such as Dutch, because I have family from the Netherlands.

Science without a doubt.

Ever since I was little, I have had a strong interest in science. I loved astronomy and had a ton of books on the subject when I was in elementary school. I later developed an interest in several other fields of science and at one point I wanted to be an inventor (I was also obsessed with The Penguins of Madagascar and my favorite character on there was Kowalski, a scientist and an inventor; I still love the show but I don't get to watch it as often as I used to).

This interest continued all throughout middle and high school. Now I am a biology major and chemistry minor and I plan to become a forensic scientist.

From my memory, my favorite subject was math in elementary school. Easy shit, all we had to do was add and subtract. I miss those days.

In all seriousness, with the classes I'm currently enrolled in, politics and globalization is my favorite course.

It is. Professor immigrated from Britain in the 80s and was an advisor to several smaller congressional campaigns in Arizona. Interesting guy, interesting class.
