Definitely manageable. 4 credits isn’t too hard if assuming you won’t party every night. Writing seminar is an easy A if you don’t screw around; Spanish is fun and not too hard (im assuming 110 or 120?). Have not taken nor on the Political Science route however so I cannot say too much about it. Finally, hardest class there definitely Econ 001. It’s not super super hard but its not a walk in the park. PM me if you want advice for 001.

I understand your concerns for the “intimidation”, but I wouldn’t worry. Most of the rumor is probably because like 50%+ of the kids you’ll meet in CAS will say they want/are thinking about doing Econ as a major or minor. So the Intro to Econ classes are weedout classes. Stuff gets harder with sophomore year+ Econ classes (you actually will have to use calculus) but at that point if you are fully committed to getting an Econ major you should be able to stick with it.
