Is 18 too many credit hours for a freshman?
This was my first semester, but due to credits gained in high school I will be a sophomore next semester. I took 16 credit hours this semester, and I admit I had a lot of issue managing time, but I believe part of that is getting used to college and getting used to having a social life. I am willing to work on managing my time better and working on homework more next semester. My adviser said I should take 15 or 16 credit hours. I was thinking 18 and getting a start on my minor. I am a communication major, so next semester I will be in 2 comm classes, health, spanish 201, and an honors class on cross cultural experience. I was thinking of taking psychology 101 because I was thinking of having a psych minor. What are your thoughts? Do you think it will be too hard to take those classes?

15 hours is the norm for a reason. As you progress further, classes will be harder and take up more of your time and effort. 18 hours is possible, but if you're struggling constantly to manage your time, get all the homework done, study for multiple tests that coincide, and still get a decent night's sleep, where's the room for all the fun? College is supposed to be a time of socialization and exploration. I'm not saying get wasted and bang everyone you meet, but you need to have time to let a little loose. You'll overstress yourself and hate your college experience; possibly even fall behind in classes and relationships due to it. I'm a college dropout, and I didn't even take that many hours. Pace yourself.
