<p>I have taken some time off since school had ended me for 2 years ago and now everyone my age is ahead of me I was wondering how I can catch up? Should I take classes in the winter and summer semesters as well? or take more classes?</p>
<p>If you’re two years behind, you’re not going to “catch up” to them during the time you’re in college. Why is that important to you, and why did you take time off if it is?</p>
<p>Well, you probably COULD treat summer as 2 separate semesters (summer 1 and summer 2) and take 12 credits each section along with taking between 16-20 credits during the fall and winter semesters, but that’d be really hard on you… Hard on anyone, really. And you wouldn’t be able to work or anything, or even enjoy the presence on your friends since you’d seriously be SWAMPED. </p>
<p>Is there a certain reason why you want to catch up to them? If there’s not, I’d say to take your time and do it right. You know what they say: slow and steady wins the race.</p>
<p>Stop trying to play the catch up game. I started out in college as a full time student, then dropped to part time so I was behind a lot of people my age. You can take classes in the summer and winter, but don’t overload.</p>
