  • Now I just gotta figure out what to take.

  • Let's see here! The English Department

  • Good morrow, Jennifer. Come to learn more about English.

  • Well venture no further. Spend your days reciting poetry

  • and debating which shades of blue represent melancholy.

  • Spoiler alert! It's the muted ones.

  • Well, I love to read and I do wish more people notice that about me.

  • And notice they shall! For each day in the English department

  • Computer Science? I don't remember looking this up.

  • Yeah, I just hacked into the mainframe.

  • Really? Nah, you just forgot you open this tab.

  • But tech is so hot right now

  • Computer Science can help you get an internship at one of those places.

  • In the business school, professors come straight from the boardroom to the classroom.

  • and then one day Boom! You just made a vaccine that's gonna save half the world.

  • And what is this world? (Oh)

  • This world we speak of, do humans need to save it?

  • Or it's from ourselves? - Ugh, yes? No.

  • Yes, exactly. Yes. No. These are the profound questions you'll ask yourself.

  • You study Philosophy.

  • Don't listen to this Plato wannabe. Study Computer Science

  • Or you could pick me and save the world from the next epidemic.

  • No, pick me and save the world from the next epidemic of bad cinema.

  • You can make money with me.

  • You can read books all day with me.

  • You can read all day with me, too.

  • What about money? - What even is money, you know?

  • Jenny, Jenny. Over here. Jenny, come on. Stop! -Done.

  • Alright, Jenny, what would you pick?

  • All of you. I can be undecided until sophomore year. See you guys in the Fall!
