Sociology is the study of differences in
society, to understand who they are, why they are different & how to
improve the situation!
The main takeaway I have from sutdying in NUS for 4 years - learnt a lot and really enjoyed it. When people ask what am I studying & what is Sociology, no longer I will tell them it is "all about Society" which is rather vague I realised.
Sociology has indeed opened my eyes to the inequality, as well as cultures, around the whole, things I would never learn nor take interest of if I'm studying Business, Science, Medicine...etc. And I'm glad I did, despite my lousy grades.
Stuff that I've did: Sociology of Food, Culture & Anthropology, Health, Social Movements, Urban Cities, Religion & Secularity, Sports, China, Visual, Gender, Ageing, Citizenship, Interpretive, State & Society, Rituals, Popular Culture, Methodology, Sexuality, Tourism & Leisure
From the basics of the literature on Marx, Durkheim and Weber, which were the founding fathers of Sociology (and yes, pretty boring), I delved into more current and interesting topics like the sociology of death, cultural inquiry, tourism...

On top of that I minored in China Studies, one topic dear to me :)
