I'm gonna do my best not to ramble but!!

Doing a global language might be fun just because you can learn a new one or improve on one you already know. I'm a literature major, and that's fun for me because I can really do anything like I just took a class on poetry movements in the US. with literature I think you can really focus on whatever you want, but there's you know reading and writing that goes along with that so

This one is just more of a personal interest, but the ancient medieval studies concentration seems really cool because it's a time period that I'm interested in and I think plague doctors are cool, and it's kind of always interesting to look back at a previous point in time and kind of see where we are now or just observe what times were like back then

Comparative media studies sounds really interesting, and low-key I kind of think the basis for that is seen a lot on tumbl and across social media with the like looking at like text and movies and pictures and internet connections and such like that. Not entirely sure that's what that whole thing is about, but from a quick search it's potentially building off of stuff we already do

ooh no thank u for ur thoughts! i think the main ones i was considering were comparative media studies, asian + asian diaspora studies, women + gender studies, science tech and society, anthropology (?), chinese (?) idk i just feel like my major + my school as a whole is soooo stem focused i wld love to just go into a niche and rly learn abt it but also i worry abt whether i'll have the mental capacity to rly dedicate time to the subject and like. do readings and rly think abt it when ik i'll b struggling a lot w major related classes .

this is also related to why i am hesitant to do a language bc i am a native mandarin speaker BUT i cannot read/write it for shit and i wld love to learn. i also took spanish for years in high school and idk it would b cool to continue and not forget everything i learned. but also i've heard language classes r pretty intense and have vocab quizzes every class bc ig. u need that level of intensity for language acquisition. but i just worry i wouldn't dedicate enough time to it given how much the rest of my courseload will b :,)
