Hi Quinn -- totally up to you! I majored in economics at Georgetown University and decided to minor in African American studies and business administration. Each complemented by economics major in a unique way. I also took advanced classes in Spanish but I know there are many opportunities for students who take mandarin and arabic. Take classes in what you are passionate about and genuinely interested in!

You are really the only person who can best answer this question.
but a few things to take into consideration would be where you want to work. Where live, Spanish is a great second language, but Mandarin, Japanese, and Arabic would also give you some good background for the future.
As for minor's , I always like to see people take something that will help them prepare for dealing with other humans. That could be Psychology, or it could be Communication Studies, to help you better understand how information flows within and organization. The ability to interrelate and collaborate is such a critical skill to have.
