[quote=Anonymous]I just now got a call from my freshman in a top 20 who is carrying 19 credits. I know he has been to a couple of parties but frankly, he has not had time for a lot of socializing due to his courseload and particularly one course he took which is requiring 14 plus hours of honework each week.  He just called me to tell me he wants to drop it, which is 100% fine with me. I trust his judgment and it’s not going to effect his graduation date because he has AP credits for this requirement. This was an honors level math which was very difficult and apparently the class typically shrinks by half every semester because of kids not being able to keep up.  I am proud that he tried it and also proud he is making the decision that makes the most sense for his physical and mental health.  TBH I don’t want him spending all his time in the library or study rooms. The school he is attending is a lot of fun on game days and there is tons going on otherwise, and I want him to have a balanced college life...and that might include some parties.  I do know he is not A huge drinker, but he will have a beer or two for the social aspect, but not to get trashed.  Glad I had the phone by my bedside tonight. It is totally out of character for him to call me, so he clearly wanted to bounce it off me and I am sure he has been feeling anxious about it.  [/quote]
