You could probably max out your daily schedule if you pick nothing but easy classes.

what killed me was 21 year olds taking 9 credits, without jobs ( rich parents ) complaining that between school and their shrink they don't have time to study :D

My most was 18 hours + full time job + volunteer work + life in general.

When I was in graduate school, they only let us take 15 hours...

I took 21 hours my last three semesters so I could get my degree in 4 years. (most guys in engineering went 5 years) Was basically running out of money. Not fun.

I remember the four stages of college:

Freshman: Wide-eyed and clueless
Sophomore: One big drunken blur
Junior: Not enough hours in the day to get everything done
Senior: Exhausted, nearly beaten down, and just plain ready to leave

< Is on the go 7 days a week.

I have uni, work or both every day of the week. Fridays really suck... Uni in the morning, work (outside) until 9pm, home and homework until bed.

I'm doing a double major in philosophy and sociology.

Arts has little to do with a specific career for me.

Taking steps to train yourself as a thinker, writer and communicator is a set of skills that not enough people have these days.

It's a long-winded and expensive way to do it but it is a set of skills that you can take to any job.

While we're on the subject, though, I always preferred this joke:
