    I'm thinking about what language to study in college- taking suggestions!

Don't take suggestions from us. Some of us may know you well, but we're not you, and we're not to live with the language you choose.

My guess is that you want a baseline from which to pick, so that picking comes easier. Someone tells you "Pick German", and you think "Nah, I don't like German that much in reality", so you go with Arabic. Someone else tells you "Pick Arabic", and you think "Yeah, that's a pretty good option". Toss a coin: you'll know momentarily which side you want it to fall on, and there lies your answer.
