I am assuming that you took the history and english courses because you were genuinely interested in them. However, couldn't you have, in theory, taken easier courses, such as wine tasting or massage, and still have gotten the same amount of credit. Or you could have minored in something, right?
Well, I was a CAS student so I needed to take real humanities courses. Something like Wines or photography can be interesting but it's not acceptable for Arts and Sciences credit.

Although they were a lot of work, I don't consider non-science courses to be hard, especially if you're interested in the subject matter. In fact, it wasn't until my very last semester at Cornell that I received an A- in a course not offered by the Bio or Chem department. (That course was Hist 325). Non-science courses are not meant to be stressful. In fact, they can be a welcome diversion from your premed courses.
