It can't make proper soup. So a medium-sized pot is more flexible than that is.

It really does. I have one and I never use it. Only to make 6 person sauce.
But if you are 19 and can buy one pan? It's a 5 or 6 quart tall sided skillet. With venting and pouring lid.

You can fry food in it, but the flared sides of a frying pan have two purposes, getting your spatula under delicate foods and also venting off steam from the food cooking toward the edges of the pan. For primarily frying, a saute pan is much easier to overcrowd, which is where your food stops frying and starts steaming itself. The French have a solution, called the splayed saute pan, kind of an autistic saute pan for braises and sauces that start out with a perfectly fried ingredient, but it never really caught on outside of French kitchens. They're also only available, in the larger sizes, in tinned copper, which isn't cheap.

Try brewing some bay leaf tea sometime.
