Has anyone taken an extra semester to graduate or plans to?
I'm seriously considering it. Right now my gpa is kind of low because I was pretty sick for my first two years of school... also, I declared my majors late. So in order to graduate I have to take 4 more french classes and 6 more psychology classes in my senior year. Five classes a semester is definitely doable, but they're all advanced, and I know I'll be stressed out. If I stay an extra semester, I'll be able to spread out those classes and take some easy courses to raise my gpa - plus, I can study abroad next summer like I've wanted to and can finally afford. And I'd still walk with my class at graduation.
It makes a lot of sense the more I think about it, but I'm not sure if it seems like I'm taking the 'easy way out' since I can logically graduate on time. Any advice or pearls of wisdom would rock.
