Should I take 2 or 3 classes?

[chickieenuggiess]

so to make this story short, i’ve had some procrastination problems in the past and it affected my grades last semester. this semester, my academic advisor suggested to take 2 courses to start off easy. which i did, and i passed both of those courses, but now that i need to enroll in more classes, I don't know if i should continue to enroll in 2 or try to do 3. i felt that 2 classes were pretty easy but my cousin told me that 2 classes are more manageable. so i don’t know if i should take the step to enroll in 3 or stay safe with 2 classes

Do 3. Think about how many semesters it's going to take you to complete 15 classes if you do 2 at a time. 8 semesters, or 4 years. Which is 5 semesters or 2 and a half years if you did 3 classes each semester. You could even do it in 2 if you took a summer class each summer.

It also depends on what classes you are taking, how many units/credits, and how hard they are. I had to take Microbiology, Anatomy, and Physiology as prerequisites, but there's no way I would take all three of those classes the same semester (at least not while working full time like I do). But I was comfortable with the schedule I made which was:

11 Units, Fall 2020 - Human Anatomy, Medical Microbiology, Cardio Boxing , Ocean Swimming

15 Units, Spring 2021 - ASL I, Human Physiology , Emergency Medical Tech-Basic

5 Units, Summer I 2021 - ASL II

4 Units, Summer II 2021 - Statistics

9 Units, Fall 2021 - ASL III, Fund-Gen Organic & Biol Chem

PS I am also a procrastinator. But I have a 3.83 GPA, you just have to discipline yourself and do what needs to be done.

In college, 2 classes at a time were the most I wanted to do at a time. That alone was a freaking headache sometimes.

Depends on the classes. Organic Chemistry and Badminton are very different classes.

Depends upon climate.
