Hi. I am an Incoming college freshman and will attend my local Community college. My classes that i registered for are English Composition, Anatomy, Speech, and Introduction to Chemistry. I do consider myself to be well rounded when it comes to studying, but sometimes I can really get stressed out and overwhelmed. In my senior year of High school, I took 3 (Technically 4 Because Macroeconomics and Government were separate semesters, then psychology, then statistics) AP classes and I was able to get a 4 or a 5 on each of the exams. This was actually the first time I had ever taken AP courses in high school and I thought that it wasn’t as bad as I thought would be. Just wanted some feedback (And even advice if you have the time lol). Thanks!!
If you manage your time well, I personally believe your schedule would be manageable, barring factors such as a full time job.
However, you’ll be in the best position to answer your question, particularly after the first week of the semester, as your professors will have gone over the syllabi and what would be expected of you for the classes.
Some advice:
For time-management:
- Get a planner or have a system to have test dates, homework deadlines, etc readily available.
- Since it’s summer, I’d advise you to see what system suits you best. Some people like to see the breakdown of hours in their week, so they print out a week with grids marked off for time. Then they block out classes, and other commitments they have, so they can see when they have free time for homework, studying, etc. Others just need a layout of the month and write their test and homework dates and other things they have to do.
- Know what you can handle. You likely won’t really know what you can handle until the middle of your first semester, but use that knowledge when selecting classes and/or whether to work or how many hours to work for future semesters.
Other advice for an incoming freshman:
- Get to know your campus and where your classes are before they begin. Perhaps keep a map of the school in your binder or on your phone.
- Your syllabi holds a wealth of information regarding your classes. Be sure to keep them and look them over. If you intend to transfer, I recommend keeping copies of the syllabi just in case you have issues transferring the course(s) over.
- Go to office hours! Your professors are great resources not only for the classes, but for advice regarding careers, or possible references or writers of letters of recommendations for schools, internships, etc.
- Look into resources offered by your community college. For example, I didn’t know that as a student, I have access to a few free mental health care appointments. You said you get really stressed and overwhelmed, look into health resources, workshops on how to study or how to manage your stress. My college offered courses on how to study, and one on interview skills, how to write a resume, and explored career possibilities, etc. Your college may offer similar courses. Your college likely has a career resource center where you can look into internship and job opportunities and access to someone who can help advise you.
- If you haven’t already, make an appointment with an academic advisor so you know what classes to take to stay on track to complete your goal.
Other tidbits:
- Try to stay healthy - pack healthy snacks and lunches, and drink water. Try to get enough sleep.
- Keep spare change with you in case you get hungry or need to print something.
- Bring a charger for your phone and/or laptop/tablet.
- Keep an open mind! Look into classes, clubs, and/or activities you may not have considered before. They can also be a good way to balance the stress of your classes.
Lastly, enjoy your college experience! 
Good luck!
