Dude I'm literally having the same crisis right now. I took a year off from school trying to figure my life out and I was supposed to graduate in 2014. Am a junior now but only just. I've been looking up what classes I can squeeze into my uni schedule or take at my CC alongside uni classes since I woke up. Last semester I took three eight week classes along side each other at CC with 2 Bs and an A and decided to take it easy by doing a six credit summer. I have way too much time on my hands, and there's nothing else I can sign into. dead inside.

ANYWAY. If you can rock a 16 credit courseload, I would say you're pretty fucking golden to go, but what other course do you want to tack on? And what kind of classes are you taking in the summer? Do you have bombass organizational and time management skills? How easily do you learn new information?

I'm taking Corporate Finance, Business Analysis, and Managing People in Organizations. The other two classes are pretty much the easiest, especially the latter. Corporate Finance isn't too bad but I've had to do a lot of practice in my own time to make sure those concepts stick in my head since I'm gonna need to know them well for valulation. Without the valuation class, I wouldn't be able to take a lot of the other finance courses I need so it's pretty important that I do well in that class too.

I had played around with my schedule and added a more intermediate economics class in the mixture and decided that it would be a lot to keep track of. I had also considered doing a sociology class or a risk management course since that's actually my minor. They even have a class called History of Sex I had been considering. Time management wise I sometimes tend to procrastinate and I've been working at getting better at doing things earlier and quicker so the work doesn't become a bigger pain in the ass than it needs to be.

I think if you stick with more minor classes (history of sex would be interesting, but it sounds like risk management might be more useful) you'll be ok. Are they both level 100/200 classes? As long as you're not taking a giant course load of upper devision I think you'll be ok, but this is my first year taking BBA classes so I don't really know *sigh*

I took my Intro to Risk Management class last semester so I have classes like Risk Modeling and Theory of Risk I could take. I need 9 more credits to fulfill my minor and they still want 2 non business college electives which I'll be taking care of next year.

I have OB/GYN and Mental Health next semester. I get to study autistics!
 
Next semester my classes are Social Psychology, Personality Psychology, Acting, Horticulture, and Continuation of Intermediate French. (This will be my last semester at community college before I transfer, and I've finished all my requirements, so I'm just taking whatever I want. The 2 psychology classes go towards my major and the rest are just for fun.)

Kind of worried about the acting because I'm pretty shy, but that's exactly why I signed up for the class to begin with. I took some acting classes as a kid but quit when I became shyer as I grew.

Is being a TA a lot of work? I signed up to be a TA for Histology lab course that I took last year but I never been a TA for anything before. And all of the TA for this course next semester are TAing it for the first time like me, since all the previous course alumni with TA experience already graduated and only us neophytes are left. I assume there will be a lot of time spent writing and grading lab reports and tests, I hope it doesn't take over my schedule.

I was thinking of having a thread where we could ask other members if a certain class/degree is difficult, as well as have people chime in about their experiences in said classes/degrees.

I've been poking around trying to find out if Principals in Financial Accounting is hard. From what I've gathered, it's a lot of terminology and either "you get it or you don't" level of difficulty, and because it's a intro class, not too much will be expected of you. It's a 205 level class, but I'm taking it at my university rather than community college, but I don't think that makes a difference. Anyone care to shed some light on this?

General class discussion. What are you taking next semester?

(hope this is deep enough for deep thoughts)

As far as difficulty goes, the History 101 class I took was difficult in terms of writing a 10 page research paper. Now maybe for others it is easy but for me and by extension the peers I had, we all had to find sources tied to the founding of the U.S. and it's expansion. What made said paper difficult was just trying to fill in the 10 pages needed along with making sure everything was in proper format. This sort of thing burned me out at least. One other class that felt difficult in terms of luck was taking a Business 290 course. I had to find an internship and in my case, finding one as computer support was nearly non-existent compared to all the internships in marketing and engineering.

As for what I take next semester, a CIS class and a Business class needed for my major and the other is just a philosophy class to act as filler so I can be a full-time student. The worst part of all this is wanting the class you need but they haven't even listed it out yet despite putting it in the book that mentions the available classes for the semester. Hopefully the ones I need do appear on the list.

It depends. Some courses will make a greater demand of your time than others. Labs tend to be on the heavier side, since you'll have lots of reports to read. But labs are usually more interesting to grade, rather than a stack of a hundred exams for an intro course full of freshmen.
