This prompt is a very clever way for UC to get a different sense of your interests and your ability to think out of the box. These are obviously not serious majors, and if you treat and write about them as such without some tongue in cheek, I believe you would be missing the point. If you chose a “major” and related courses and areas of focus that highlight an area(s) of personal interest and curiosity (and probably not related to your real intended major), then you have done what UC is looking for.
