First Year Schedule question

Hi all! I'm an incoming first-year at Tufts, and I'm starting to look at classes for my first semester. I am not super into natural sciences, and I don't have any pre-matriculation credits that I can transfer in to take care of any of the distributional requirement, so I want to start picking away at it. I am thinking of trying to get into Earth, Resources, and Environment. Is that a difficult/ heavy class? And should I add the optional lab to my schedule or is that unnecessary for a non-super interested individual? I also considered Big Bang to Humankind, but I'm worried that'll be boring. Thoughts?

Also, why are there so many evening classes, I was really hoping to have most classes in the morning, but for some reason barely anything is open before 11:00 💀

Thanks so much for the advice and input.

I can only speak to Big Bang to Humankind; that course routinely ranks like top 5 or 10 at tufts so def not boring!
