It'll help when you do all this traveling people are recommending. French or Spanish, depending on where you live. Or both. I really want to learn Arabic, too, but there are sooooo many dialects...

For those in the US, I think everyone should serve on a jury at least once I know that a lot of people try to get out of it, but it's important to see how the justice system actually operates even for cases that don't seem all that impactful- Going to trial does impact people. And people need to see that most cases are not like an episode of Perry Mason. And they need to see how a disparate group has to work together to reach a consensus, if it comes down to that. (I served on 3 so far, once as an alternate, so I wasn't included in deliberations, and 2 struck deals before it got that far. But I learned a lot. Image source: alwayssoupy

Image source: Iambluedabbadee, Becca Tapert I’ve read “sex” as an answer but I want to add, sex with someone who loves you (it’s way more intimate and fulfilling).
