In college, I took a semester of French, which turned out to be quite helpful those few weeks I spent in Paris.
In high school, I took three years of German, which turned out to be quite helpful when, a few short years later, it turned out that one of my best friends in the whole world hailed from Germany.
(Note: I speak neither French nor Germany with any fluency.)
If I were to take a language today, I think I'd try Mandarin (Chinese). I wonder how, in the future, that would be helpful.

In case you ever met a wandering mandarin orange?
I think I would've preferred something along the lines of All-Expense-Paid Trip to Shanghai.
What's preferred isn't always what one receives.
