Thanks for your response again. I don’t plan on not being young when I graduate. I can without a doubt gaurantee that I’ll be 28 or younger when I’m done, but I’m just not seeing myself doing C or higher level while taking more than 6 credits considering how my life just is. I know it won’t go lower though. I even imagine in my latter semesters I’ll be taking 3 classes (I did so last semester and got a 3.3 GPA, and in the semester before that, I was taking 12 credits and got a 4.0 GPA literally! Though I admit they were intro-level classes that semester lol. Either way, I pained like hell though, and I honestly don’t want EVERY semester to be like this…).

…And I asked about the community service since, for example, some scholarships require that and I wanted to know if what I did was community service or not. Anyway after some research a month or so ago, apparently what I did wasn’t. It would be had it been non-paid, but “since it was paid”, it’s not community service. It should be then be more called “volunteer work”, “non-paid service” or something of the type. Community service = service to the community, paid or not. :/
