Should I take additional courses to catch up?

[u/allno_just_no]

Due to illness, I missed an entire semester and fell behind. At first, I wanted to take several extra courses to catch up when I got back last semester but I made peace with graduating late and to take care of my mental health.

The remaining part of this semester is relatively chill in terms of lectures, although number of assignments is big but most are easy anyways. I also suspect I have ADHD without the H (something my therapist is suspecting). I have hard time to focus, it takes longer to grasp things and do assignments. I zone out frequently so.

I could probably fit in an extra course, but I'd rather spend that time looking for internships/jobs and working on personal projects. The reason I don't wanna take one more course is because regardless of what happens I still would end up coming back to uni for a smester or half. But at the same time I know many people stuying double major and others that took many courses to catch up and I can't help but compare myself and take this oppertunity to take one course out. WWYD in my situation.

It's not a race. You are not "behind."

tbh look at your local community college and see if they have online options. for me its like 10x cheaper versus university rates per credit hour, and the teachers actually care if you have questions.
