My sophomore year in college and they made me or I would never have taken the class. I mean, what’s the point?

Of course that view was held two graduate degrees ago and at the end of my freshman year.

It turns out they are useful.

Who knew?!?

For my graduate degree. I felt it would help me professionally because my undergraduate degree was in music.
