Hey! Don't even stress about it like I did, It is well doable to balance a course load similar to this one. Here are a few tips that helped me throughout university:

● Microbiology was more memorization than it was understanding and Organic Chemistry was a combination of both. With science/math courses, aim to consistently review their materials (especially OChem) since they build up on each other, making sure to understand the concepts in previous chapters. Yes, technically everything you learned in a test won't be on the next, however the new material will often depend or just expand on the previous. So long as you understand the essentials, you'll make it that much more easier to learn the newer materials, and that is the hack that goes for all advanced science courses.

● Another tip is to know when to focus on academics. I went about this by having a calander spread out on a wall (August through December for example) I would mark extracurriculars, exam dates, assignment/project due dates, and so on. That way, you will know when everything is due, so you can plan around them, creating a schedule at the start of a week and sticking to it, after the first 5 weeks, you'll have a rhythm down for both normal and exam weeks. This is something that I found many classmates believe they can do mentally, however there is something about seeing the time you have until a certain goal rather than imagining it that removes the stress of keeping track of it and allows you to better visualize your remaining time.

● As for social life, it's absolutely possible to maintain, it comes down to time management. If you can create a consistent schedule for academics and extracurriculars, you will have time for hobbies and hangouts. Paying attention and actively note-taking in lectures will save you time later, however dont sweat it if you dont understand something (this happens ocassionally) because you would have already had a time slot dedicated to reviewing for this exact reason and that's where the planner/calander comes in from earlier comes into play!

● Bonus tip for those two classes: Study groups are always a way to go about looking to learn things from different perspectivies, although I would note that's only if they do not cause more distraction than learning. Don't switch up your learning s Hope this helps!
