Full time job + returning student?

Full time job + returning student?

Hi all!!

I’m 20. I work full time in the semiconductor industry, and I’m going back to college for the first time in years to finally get a certification to further my career. For reference, it’s a 12 class certification program, and the 3 classes I’m taking make up about 9 credit hours.

My boyfriend thinks it’s too much for me to manage between work + so-so mental health. I really thought I could do it, or I wouldn’t have signed up for the classes, but he’s kinda worn me down on the subject, and I’m wondering if I should drop a class. Honestly, I want to quit all together after hearing how little people seem to actually believe in me.

I guess I’m just looking for some reassurance and some advice. Do you think this is a reasonable workload? (My schedule is attached). Is there a way I can make it easier on myself?

Sorry for the messy stream of thought, I’m kinda getting anxious just thinking about it.
