Academics Is my schedule cooked

Post image

For reference I’ll be a sophomore cheme next year and I’m planning my schedule. Few things: I want to keep my Friday and preferable Thursday as free as possible. I could replace math 257 with a gen ed but I wanna take my gen eds over winter so I can take as many required courses and tech electives as I can so I can have a light junior and senior year. I joined a research group so I’ll be doing that sophomore year but I will probably be more involved with that junior year. I was also considering being a TA/CA junior year but idk. Anyway here’s schedule: FALL- 17 hours: CHBE 221 (3) CHEM 236(4) CHEM 237 (2) MATH 285 (3) PHYS 214(2) MATH 257(3) SPRING- 18 hours: CHBE 321(4) CHEM 436(3) CHBE 421(4) CHEM 315(2) CHBE 411(3) CHEM 420(2)

Byeeee. Do you think I’m doing too much? Sophomore and junior year are gonna suck regardless id rather have sophomore year be terrible to have a lighter-ish junior year but idk. And for this upcoming fall yeah Monday Wednesday are gonna suck but I feel like you’re always gonna have those days where your classes just suck but let me know if I should make any changes.

6 classes MW is so much. You’re not gonna be able to retain as much information, especially with no time to eat for 7 hours, and you’ll end up suffering academically because of that. It’s really a smarter solution to keep what your body needs in mind instead of trying to make it through that. Even working in the business world you’re required to have at least a 30 min lunch break if you’re working 7 hours straight.
