Hey there Sarah! Thanks for making this blog! It's SUPER helpful. What does a normal week look like for you in terms of busyness in schedule? I've heard that some people get days where they don't have to go to classes. When do you usually "start' and "end" your lectures for a day? I'm thinking of taking Marine Bio and Honors too so our schedules might be the same when I go to college here. I also want to get a job, but idk if I'll have the time for one if I'm so booked with school.
Hey there! So my normal week this year looks kind of like this: (under the cut because this'll be long)

Bio lab– 9:00a-11:45a
Honors 101– 1:30p-2:45p
Ceramics (Art)– 3:00p-5:45p
Wed:
Chem lab– 9:30a-12:20p
Biology– 12:30p-1:20p
Chemistry– 2:30p-3:20p
Thurs:
Honors 101– 1:30p-2:45p

So depending on your class load (I'm currently at 15 credits, freshman year fall was 14, spring was 16), you will likely have time to work too. It's not a super busy schedule for me since I'm not trying to jam everything into my semester because I take summer classes to make up for that and stay on track for graduating in four years (hopefully!).
I prefer keeping my schedule for classes between 9am and 5pm like the typical full-time job schedule just so that I'm used to that type of schedule (also waking up early is NOT my thing!), and I prefer to have my labs tues/thurs just because those are usually my less-busy days. If I don't have to include labs, my classes usually end by 1 or 2 every semester, but I've had a couple late classes, it just depends on when you decide to take your labs and how they'll fit into your schedule!
Honors won't really effect your schedule a whole lot since you'll only need to take 4 honors classes total for your sophomore AND freshman year (generally 1 class per semester but you don't have to).
