Last week I registered for classes. With room in my schedule for electives, I scrolled through the course catalog trying to find something that piqued my interest. Then I found it — MLJA 206 Japanese Culture. Do I know much about Japanese culture? No, that’s why I’m taking the class. Does this pertain to my major? Not one bit.

“You took Japanese Culture in the spring semester of your junior year? Well in that case you’re hired!” That’s something I’m (almost) positive a hiring manager will never say.

Some classes you take for the love of the game, MLJA 206 is mine.
