Taking Japanese is probably worthwhile because you have other speakers to practice with. Then again, you could just watch anime... bakka.

Biblical studies is probably a waste of time. My now-wife took it in college, and her professor said some things that were astoundingly ignorant (e.g. that Milton was the first person to equate the serpent in the Garden of Eden with the Devil). Plus your professor will likely be a modernist nutcase. You wouldn't even be learning from an authentic Christian perspective. I would just self-study.

WW2 history would be a fun class... if we lived in an alternate universe where the WWII narrative wasn't so terribly distorted.

Take Japanese!
You'll learn a worthwhile skill and become a better person

those all sound like bullshit you could just learn with a library card or internet connection so find out who the professors are for all 3 then use a site like ratemyprofessor.com or whatever to find out who offers the easiest course content.

All of them are pretty easy

Already am this fall, this is winter course selection and I plan on continuing learning it throughout the year

WW2 history seems like a pretty good grade booster imo, I'm good at writing essays

>>39331834
Fuck all that bullshit.

You want a challenging elective, take something in either economics or philosophy. Economics will make you use mathematical models (high school math suffices) and philosophy really makes you think (not joking, you can't just bullshit an essay here)

This
Japanese is literally the only one with a shred of legitimacy in modern academia.
Instead of Biblical studies, take Greek and read Septuagint. Most of biblical studies is understanding the fact that Greek doesn't translate neatly into English and discussing alternate translations of words and phrases. You'll get a much better and more nuanced understanding of it if you can actually read the base text than from some post-modernist fuckwit trying to deconstruct the message. Or even worse, an apologist theologian who just twists the narrative to fit his own beliefs.

Well, you're fucked.
Language is pretty much the only humanities that's not fucked by critical theory.

I'll kill you if you don't tell me

To be frank I would major in Japanese if I could but a major in translation isn't offered in anywhere but my province's largest city (we have a lot of universities) which is an absolutely expensive hellhole

Japanese is the only worth while one, youtube videos would be infinitly better for the other 2

all 3 sound like a waste of time aka money
