The humanities are academic disciplines which study the human condition, using methods that are primarily analytic, critical, or speculative, as distinguished from the mainly empirical approaches of the natural and social sciences (Wikipedia). It is the definition of humanities. Last year, my senior friend strongly recommended humanities for senior English class. I was fascinated with the "cool-looking" mind book, and that is the only reason I decided to take humanities. The other senior friend told me that humanities is not just English class, she told me that humanities is the hardest class she ever took in senior year, and I knew that she was taking few AP classes. Yes, that's right I didn't listen to her. I was sure that the class is easy because it's the senior class. But I was wrong. I don't regret that I am taking humanities because I learned a lot but it is the hardest class that I am taking right now. Well, surely we are learning very interesting stuff like listening to very different style of music, watch various video and video clips, interesting books and articles, different style of writing, and mind book! I improved my skills of writing, reading, and be a creative thinker.
Especially my favorite is doing mind book. Sometimes I have thoughts that I cannot tell anyone because I am too scared to be a weird person. But while I was doing my mind book, I discovered most of my thoughts are really creative and I am not that weird. It was good that I can express my thought and myself freely.
