200+ level history, literature, philosophy, or anthropology: something combining creativity, debate, and methods, but not just an intro-level course. You'll probably find an in-depth study of a topic in those areas more redeeming than a broad survey.
Intro-level art, music, acting, or other creative skill. I don't mention photography, because I think the barrier to entry is too low. You said you wanted to be challenged, picking up a charcoal pencil or an instrument, or getting on stage, are all fascinating challenges.
Communications. Yeah, I know, the major and field are generally regarded as a joke, so choose carefully. Find something that teaches public speaking. Most people are terrified of that, and getting the practice now will serve you well for a long, long time.
Study abroad. Go to a country where you don't speak the language. Say 'yes' to everything – food, invitations, experiences, job offers, etc.
