I Am So Fed Up and Frustrated

So early morning appointment with my advisor today. A class I chose for requirement credits next semester is cancelled because the prof is having health issues and retiring early. Totally legit. So Inhave to chose a new class to meet requirements and he keeps pushing and pushing me towards women's history and politics classes. I have about 8 to choose from that fit under contemporary social issues and studies, most would be WAY better for my major. But he just won't stop when I point it out.

I just reallly feel pressured in to doing classes I dont want to or need to get my butt in the seat. Like isn't there a minimum amount of students needed for a class to be taught and get whatever funding to the school? Or am I being paranoid?
