<p>one really good life lesson is here for you: NEVER AGAIN let other people make decisions about your life for you (even indirectly). you said that you may have allowed other people’s opinion dictate how many units you felt you were capable of handling. you now know that you are the only person actually TAKING the classes, so you’re the only person who can make the decision about how much is too much. </p>
<p>i’ve seen kids come on this website with a ridiculously back-breaking load, asking whether it’s “too much”, and parents telling them that they should roll with it, without knowing a thing about that kid. don’t listen to other people. listen to your own gut. always.</p>
<p>good luck to you in the future.</p>
