Which was fine, I was okay with this. Now, all students of Science have a H&SS requirement of taking some amount of Humanities courses and some amount of Social Studies courses. In my second semester, I took Japanese as a Humanities course, because hey, I already knew a good portion of it, might as well hone it.
But I hadn't taken into account that as a dual major component, Electronic Media, Arts, and Communications is chock full of arts courses that automatically fulfill the Humanities requirement. In other words, I only actually had a social studies requirement and I had just taken a free elective.
So, I ended up panicking about not being able to finish in four years because I just burned credits on a course I didn't have room for. This led me to cram 20 credits for the next four semesters, making my sophomore and junior years to be exceedingly painful (aside from creative schedule mongering for 2 weekdays off a week on the 5th and 6th semesters)
Then my academic advisor for Electronic Media, Arts, and Communications brought me over for my senior year and we started to plot out what I'd need for my senior year, and she politely informed me that "Because of your cramming, you don't have enough required course credits to stay a full time student."
