Overload of Credits

According to your weekly schedule a college student has to come up with free time that he or she can go to school.  This may be very hard for that person because work and many other things like sport activities interact with you hours.  This just makes it harder on you, especially when you are picking your classes.  If you do not register right away, the classes fill up very quickly, leaving you with less choices to pick from.  You want to register at the quickest time possible because it is easier for you to work around your busy schedule.  Many people overload themselves with too many credits/classes.  They say to be a full enrolled student you have to take 12 and a half credits.  Last semester I took 15 and a half and it truly wasn't that bad.  This semester I am going  to take 16.  I think this is a little bit of a challenge, and I am looking forward to it.  These semesters fly by, unlike High School.  I remember in High School, the quarter never ended.  It was horrible, I wanted to get out so bad.  College is nothing like that!  If you schedule yourself correctly and fit everything into your week without having to be stressed out, you will be in a great position.  My counsler said that I am on track with everything that I have to take for my major.  If I follow that rout, I will be out in two years and that would be awesome.  I meet people here at my college that have been going there for three or four years because of their lack of credits.  Some people just didn't know what to take and thats ashame.  They should have be guided in the right path in the first place, but now they are a little behind.  Its ok, as long as they graduate within a reasonable time.  I think I scheduled myself perfect with 16 credits and I am looking forward to it!
