<p>I will be entering into a community college. I am taking these classes (three of these are confirmed):</p>
<p>Communication for Social Change (5 Credits)
English 101 (5 credits)
Chemistry 171 / 181 (6.5 credits)
Choir (2 credits) [it will satisfy my performing arts credits if I decide not get to be a music minor]</p>
<p>I am thinking of a Science major (probably chemistry) + a music minor. I really enjoy studying Chemistry (the course description for that class sounds like an expansion on what I learned from AP chem last year) and singing in choirs. I think social change is interesting too. Essays though are my kryptonite.</p>
<p>I do work. My work's scheduling is very flexible (I can literally ask for a week off if I wanted to).</p>
<p>I took 18 credits my first semester. I didn’t work, but it seems like your choir class should be easy and the rest aren’t bad. I always had enough time to hang out over the weekend and during the week… I probably could have worked a job.</p>
<p>I’m currently taking the minimum 12 units for a full time student at my freshmen year at community college & even thought I’m barely getting by. I know that if I didn’t procrastinate so much, I could excel & possibly add 3 more units. I think if you were a pretty self disciplined, organized & responsible student in high school then you might be able to manage. I don’t why you would want to overwhelm yourself so much as a freshmen, but I’ve heard of a couple of older students doing 18+ units & being successful. I just wouldn’t add another math or science as that could turn you courseload from manageable to impossible. Time management is key. </p>
