What are ways to become interested in classes that teach nothing but are required to graduate and therefore go to a good college? I am bored/not stimulated in many of them and don't feel too motivated to pay attention...not that I'd miss much..

If you know how to solve a Rubik's cube, bring one to class. They have become very popular over the past few years. Play with it only after you have finished an assignment or test and are waiting for the rest of the class to finish, or if the teacher is reciting a list of things that are completely unimportant or that you already know. Remember to keep it hidden so nobody sees it

Do not look at the clock every ten seconds. Time will seem to go very slow-

As to how to get more interested?
maybe just keep in mind what doing the class will get you.
" Yes, this class is boring, but I need to do it to graduate"

Maybe have a chat to the teacher about ways to make the subject more stimulating for you.

Origami is a good way to pass the time and is also impressive. I have made plenty of cranes on quiet days at uni or volunteering

It's hard to pay attention if it's mostly boring useless facts and lists of facts that I have to memorize and spit off on some test.
Ask me again in >2 months and I'll fail that test.
