Senior schedule: free period

I’ll be a senior this year and I’m wondering if colleges would frown upon an empty class period. There’s 6 class periods available and an optional 0 period. Here’s my schedule:

  1. AP psychology
  2. CP English
  3. AP calculus AB
  4. Cp Government/ Cp Econ(1 semester each)
  5. AP Spanish
  6. Free period
  7. Free period

I’m wondering if I should just take an easy class or not. I’ve thought about college and stuff, I think I may go to a community college for several reasons.

I’m not sure what I want to do yet.
Financial reasons
The school is 5 minutes away from my house.

I have an older brother who goes to the community college and he’s encouraging me to take a class at night at the cc. I’m going for one of the easy general Ed classes. I might take art history: 3 units, once a week. Good professor too, one that my brother had. I’ll only take 1 class each semester at the cc so I still have time with my AP classes. With my AP classes and 1 class each semester, I could continue during the summer after I graduate from high school and might be ready to transfer after a year.

Should I take an easy class or keep my schedule and take a night class? If anything for an extra class, I’d do something like be a teacher aide, help a teacher grade papers. Easy A.

And my school has block scheduling, so it’d be 0 period everyday with 1 and 3, the next day is 2 and 4.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Well, community colleges accept almost every student that applies, so if you’re going to your community college then it won’t be a problem. Two free periods isn’t much of a problem either way.

Why would you do a zero hour if u have a free period?

What’s your GPA? Your test scores?
For some students who qualify for merit scholarships it is is not cheaper to attend community college (look for the thread 'did I really lose out on thousands of dollars ’ or similar). Indeed transfers get lousy aid and no merit to the level freshmen do.
Can you take honors English instead of coming, and a science (apes? )
