I just finished my first term in my second college and I’m honestly beat. I did 17 academic units and 3 non-academic units and managed to get into the deans list. Unfortunately, I’m already feeling a bit tired and I don’t think I can handle taking what is considered a normal load next term (19 acad units and 3 non acad units). I’m not sure if I want to prolong my education any further since I transferred out of IT from another University after my first term and subsequently took a 2 term break, but the thought of crumbling an entire semester because I decided to take an extra subject that I thought I could handle is heart wrenching.

Should I play it safe and continue under loading and just take an extra term or should I try doing a normal load?

Additionally, if there’s any advice to be given for surviving college, that would be helpful!
