Although sometimes the last thing you want to think about is the upcoming semester during your winter break, inevitably you have to consider—or reconsider—your class selection at some point. If you are a freshman, you may be still exploring and trying out new classes in search of your passion or your prospective major. If you are a senior, you may be most intent upon finishing up your requirements for graduation. Regardless, it is a good idea to keep certain factors in mind when selecting classes.

First of all, even if you are not a senior, know the requirements for your major and for your degree in general. Sometimes these requirements can be confusing. If you have any questions ask your advisor now before you make your choices: you don’t want to find yourself several credits short when you want to graduate on time. Secondly, if at all possible don’t take too many of your most difficult courses over the course of the same semester. Sometimes, pre-med students will elect to take organic chemistry over the summer by itself or freshman will limit the number of challenging new subjects they take their first year: it’s not ‘wimping out’ to make smart decisions about budgeting your time, especially if you have a number of outside family and work commitments. Challenge yourself, but also be realistic. Think about the classes you enjoyed last semester and also what you’d like to do differently.  Finally, for the difficult classes you are going to take, make sure to have a plan.
