- AP Calculus: This class is pretty derivative…
- English: Seriously? This is a class? Everyone knows in 20 years we’ll all be speaking Portuguese.

- Chemistry: If you really want to break bad, there are easier ways.
- Real World Cooking for Seniors: UberEats exists for a reason.
- Geography: Two words: Google Maps.
