It's not easy.

I'm majoring in Chemical Engineering, which has a lot of classes that have a lot of pre-reqs. If I don't take as much as I can, every class I miss means an extra semester later. I figure that, at least while it isn't incredibly hard, I'll take as much as I can. A lot of what I'm taking is online classes when I can get them, and I'm only going to community college right now. Once I go to University, there will hardly be any online classes, and most of my classes will only be offered in either the spring or the fall, meaning I won't be able to take any summer classes.

I wouldn't be doing it if I couldn't handle it. I got straight A's this past semester, and I was doing 9 credit hours then (in the summer, which is harder because it's shorter.) I'm doing 11 credit hours this semester, but it will probably be easier than last semester.
