I chose a Politics degree because I didn't know what else to do and felt getting a degree was what you were "supposed" to do. In first year, I gradually stopped attending classes and essentially never studied.

What do you think of this idea for a French Sixth Republic?
What do you think of a Japanese university student’s idea for a French Sixth Republic? First, before anyone asks: no, I am not a supporter of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. I am a Japanese university student who has only taken a small amount of political science at university, so I am by no means an expert. Still, I tried to imagine what a French “Sixth Republic” might look like if France were ever to adopt a new constitution in the future.
