This is for second semester. Currently, I'm taking 12 hours.

This is what my schedule would look like.
English at 11 am (MWF)
Film at 12 pm (MWF)
History at 1 pm (MWF)
Precalculus from 2:00 to 3:45 (MW)
Chemistry from 5-6:15 pm (M) and 6pm - 9pm (W)

I think Precalc and Chemistry are worth 4 credit hours and the rest are worth 3.

I'm happy with all my classes. I decided to take film because it sounds interesting and
a Fine Arts is required at my school. But does it seem like too much? Should I drop Film and just take it later?
Oh and the Chemistry I'm taking is a more advanced Chemistry, since I'm a Biochem major.

You are the only person who knows yourself the best. On my own experience, I was taking 18 units for one semester and all the classes were within 15 minutes of each other so I was in class all day long. It resulted in lots of frustration and caused my GPA to lower because my grades suffered and caused a lot of stress with all the homework. I was taking
Psychology
Criminology
Biological anthropology
Spanish
Biology
And another criminology class
I did it to get ahead but it just put me behind :( so in my opinion DON'T exhaust your schedule just because you have the time, energy and willpower. You could always take the "fun and interesting" classes during the summer :) GOOD LUCK!
