Economics Helps You Fall in Love, Apparently
Apparently there's a lecture on October 18th called "Discover Your Inner Economist: Lessons in Economic Imperialism," which is going to help you (quoted verbatim): "fall in love, survive your next meeting -- even motivate your dentist."

Every quasi-science professor thinks his field is the most relevant to everyday life and wants to justify it. Think back to every political science, anthropology, and sociology teacher you've had, and how on the first day they wanted to explain exactly why their field is not only a science, but the best kind of science.

Well, surprise surprise, Econ classes do not in fact help you fall in love. The only things you learn are the phrase "opportunity cost" and why you shouldn't cry during a practice exam just because you think you might fail.
