Choosing Classes

I'm about to schedule classes for Fall 2013, which sounds crazy to me! This will be the first time I will really (kinda) know what I'm doing when I'm scheduling and I'm so excited to choose new classes. This is probably because I'm in my last Spanish class ever (hopefully). I just wanted to stop by to write a few words of advice to any new college students or just to my future self:

  • Try not to do more than 15 or 16 credit hours unless the classes are easy or you are sure you can handle it.
  • Plan ahead of time which classes you're taking.
  • Keep a list of classes you still need and make sure you are getting everything done.
  • Pair easier classes with hard ones.
  • Spread your general requirement classes out in your schedule. These are typically easier and can be a good break when you are in your higher major classes.
  • Have fun and take what sounds good!
