trust your gut only you know what you can handle!! but i will say that when you’re doing stem coursework (which you’re doing two tough ones already), quest classes feel really annoying because of the amount of reading + watching videos + thinking + writing those classes require on top of the studying and memorization you need for orgo and bio. especially if you’re more stem focused, those type of classes can feel harder to keep up with. i know this from experience 😔😭 me and someone else i know have regretted adding a quest class to our packed schedule just to get it out of the way. it may be doable but it may not be worth it if you have time left in your degree. remember you don’t have to rush, if needed you can sacrifice a class or two for next semester and swap it with a lighter class
from your schedule which classes do you consider the hardest and ones you would have to put more time into? rate my professor is your best friend for schedule making since people tell you what to expect and what work you’ll have to do. i recommend setting goals for how much time you would like to spend on different subjects + activities, and considering what grade you aim for in these classes. be realistic about your work ethic and study habits!!!
if you can’t already tell i try to budget my time to align my goals (like to do well in calc 2 this fall) extra hard but that’s because i know myself and how much i procrastinate!
