I’ll be entering university in September planning to study some subset of {math, computer science, economics}.
Math and CS are foundational fields which can be used for nearly anything, while economics past intro level is much more specialized. I’d suggest putting the least focus on economics unless/until you’re sure you want to do something with it. (Warning: I am a programmer with an econ degree. I may be projecting, here.)
I’m very open to suggestions about other things that are cheap to record but are not useless.
Subjective happiness, maybe? The old “how good do you feel right now on a scale of 1-10” could be one way to quantify this.
Some things I hate about the world: documents that are not formatted nicely.
I’d suggest putting the least focus on economics unless/until you’re sure you want to do something with it.
Thanks. I’ll be at an engineering school that requires a focus in a social science/humanities area, so I’m planning on focusing on economics. I don’t think I’d major in economics but of course this could change (especially since I know very little about the fields I mentioned).
Welcome! You sound remarkably driven.

They are the worst thing.
