Does this look like a decent 1st semester plan?

That seems like a good number of courses to me, but are any of those particularly fun classes? I would recommend taking at least one class that you’re going to really enjoy taking - it’ll make your semester a lot better.

Where do you stand on gen eds? Unless you’ve placed out of most of them with AP credits, those are a good thing to get started on, and they could be a good way to fit in some fun classes. Many classes that fall under the I-Series or Scholarship in Practice categories might be on subjects that you really enjoy, so you could find fun classes that still fulfill requirements.

And I agree with maryversity that you should consider taking a gov class. I’m a GVPT major too, so PM me if you have questions about what classes to take! There a bunch of specific ones you need to take in the first 3 semesters, but after that you just have to take 9 gov electives so you have a lot of room to explore. That’s another option for fitting in a fun class - if you find one with room, a gov class about something you really care about could be great for adding variety and fun to your schedule :)
