Studying languages would be interesting, whenever I think of linguistics I always imagine researchers jumping into a wrestling match and the winner gets to decide the origin of Basque. Nothing wrong with being unsure about what to study, as long as people put in the effort they seem to succeed. Personal gifts are my favourite, I always tell my friends to make me a drawing or write me a poem for birthday. And ye, seeing people live is great, there's always a bunch of energy in the performances that you can't hear anywhere else
