Is 17 credits too much? (Freshman here)

Hi, I’m a freshman planning my class schedule for next spring semester. I come with zero credits and need 122 to graduate, so that means i should take about 16 per semester to graduate in 4 years.

My current 4 classes in the list:
Math - Linear Algebra (4 credits)
CS - Object-Oriented Programming in Java (3 credits)
Intro Psych (3 credits)
English II (3 credits)

Totals to 13 credits. I need to take one more class, and it’s either one of these:

Earth Science with lab (4 credits)
History - American Constitution (3 credits)

I am definitely not good at History, so I figured taking it with the known-to-be difficult Linear Algebra class might not be a good idea. However, the Earth Science class has 4 credits and an 8 AM lab (though it’s most likely easier than History); I’m scared of not being able to manage my time. If i do take that Earth class I’ll have 17 credits.

Please give me advice on which class to take, and whether it will be the right choice to take 17 credits.

Thank you
