表妹是大學一年級學生,正為選科的事煩惱,我們也樂於給意見。Canna是一個比較practical的人,所以覺得表妹該選Finance,因為出路比較大,前途也較有保障。我卻唱反調,認為讀什麼科也沒關係,大學只是一個成長過程,找工作之事船到橋頭自然直,擔心不來。
其實有時想起大學往事種種,都不知道是對是錯。我們幾個都是沒有大志的人,抱著We're young and stupid這個理念在Berkeley Campus內混,常常cut class去看戲,記得有次看Good Will Hunting, 整個戲院只有我們,真的有點陰森恐怖。若是上課大概又會睡著,有一次醒來時班房來的人已經面木全非,我們應該睡了兩個多小時。我們都很無聊沒有目標,一直也不知道選什麼科,有次我poli sci的TA有點像老黎,你們便都waitlisted那堂。我們一起上CS,總喜歡跟TA搭訕,結果差不多每次也不用交功課便有分。我們又一起影印了很多本書,一起偷借某人的notes去抄,一起食過許多個午餐,一起坐Bart,一起坐在草地上百無聊賴、談東談西。我們分享過很多瘀事。例如你交友不慎,被人騙財,或是和某某分手,大哭大鬧,不知為何,我們總覺得一切很好笑。有次在停車埸我看到暗戀的人超級滕雞,不知怎的便蹲在車旁躲著,你們立刻走過來狂踢我屁股,第二天更收到各介的"關心"電話。不過你們也不弱,還記得你想玩單車偶遇,誰知就在那女生面前仆直,最慘是你不知道有人早已通風報信,其實我們都站在案發現場不遠處。還有你那次喝醉,走上桌上大叫又跳,我們都被趕出那店。我們也分享過許多電視節目,一起看Simpsons不奇,奇在連tvmmercials也一起看,買了許多沒用的東西,你送我的手提釘線機,到現在還不懂怎麼用呢。真的是young and stupid啊!

Looking back, if I have to do college all over again, I'll probably just double major and avoid the agony of choosing one. Pick something that's practical (Finance???) and something that's not (Comparative Lit???).
If you get all A's in Finance and C's in Comp Lit, drop the stupid Comp Lit...
And if you're sucked at both Finance and Comp Lit, go take some classes in cosmetics, make-up, fashion and flirting, become a hot chic and marry into a wealthy family.
haha... I majored poli sci & legal studies, both are not practical!! and I bet marrying a rich guy is much more difficult than getting another degree, like Finance!! Life is just great and simple when there's no hope. IoI
