Can this be done?

<p>I am going to take 3 upper division economics class, 2 sociology classes, and 1 visual basic class, and 2 other online computer programming class. I think I will be taking around 23 units. I don't know if I am going to work this semester. Also, I am thinking of joining maybe 3 clubs. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>I have been on the receiving end of "You're doing too much!!!!!!!!" advice far more than I've ever liked. So instead, I will just say this:</p>

<p>Good luck. That will not be easy, not if you're shooting for straight-A's or some such. Not easy at all. I'd say getting too involved in those clubs will be a bit hard. Also finding random fun/friends time.</p>

<p>But that said, I firmly believe if you're willing to put forth the effort and work and time (and it will be A LOT of all of those), more power to you. :-)</p>

<p>I would never attempt that course load at my college, but maybe it's doable elsewhere.</p>

<p><first thought=""> You have no idea what you are getting yourself into. </first></p>

<p>well, the three computer classes will be in a community college because it transfers to the university I am going. Two of them are online and won't be starting until around second week of October.</p>

<p>My classes are from Monday to Friday 9am- 1:15 pm on TTh, and 9am-11:50 am on MWF. My visual basic class is on TTh 5:30 -8:30 pm. Maybe I will join only 2 clubs, economics and a cultural club. I am still waiting for a call back for jobs that I have applied for. Maybe I won't work at all. So how about that? Does that sound better?</p>

<p>Can it be done? Yes. Should you do it? Maybe that's something to think about.</p>

<p>I know in high school I had issues with biting more off than I could chew, and I'm working on limiting myself in college. I suggest that you do the same, or else you'll feel torn between activities. Work your way up. Hold off on the clubs until you have tried handling all your classes, or downsize the number of classes.</p>

<p>How about 1 club that only ask for 3-4 hours a week of participation, and maybe 11 classes? Before you react, 5 of them are computer classes that I will be taking in a nearby community college. I am planning to have a certificate on software applications done by next summer. My computer classes are intro to electronic spreadsheets, presentation graphics (Powerpoint), intro to internet, web page creation, beginning visual basic. 3 of them are online, one saturday class, and another Tth class. Two of them I will be taking half of the semester, the two other would be another half of the semester, and one full semester. Which means I will be only taking 3 of them at the same time. </p>

<p>My other 6 classes in the University seems not so hard. I mean they don't involve math or science class. So I don't see any problem in taking all of these classes. Last spring, I took 20 units which includes calculus, a group discussion class, biology, history, political science, economics, and I still have a lot of time. But all of them are lower level, so I dont know what to expect this term. Maybe because I won't work, and only one club to join, would that make is easier, right?</p>

<p>Is there a reason you're taking so many classes at once? I'm sure you could do it if you really tried, but you're really spreading yourself thin.</p>

<p>I don't know what your school is like, but 6 classes, excluding the ones for your software applications certificate, is tough (and you're planning on several upper division classes to boot!). You really have to think this one through...i.e. just because a class has lots of optional readings and one paper doesn't mean that the readings are really optional and that paper something that you can pull together in a week.</p>
