It’s back to school time. If you’re looking to have a relaxing semester, take advantage of drop/add week and create a schedule that will make you feel like you don't even go to school. The key to the perfect schedule involves two important things:

1. Online classes. Any class that’s online, is a good class, even if it’s hard as hell. Because a hard class is going to suck regardless, so it might as well suck while you’re in your PJ’s eating ice cream at home.
2. Classes that are held once a week. Some people really don’t like the three hour blocks, and those people are wrong. Before you got to college, you had class 8 continuous hours a day every single day for your entire life. You’re telling me you can’t sit through less than half of that one day a week in exchange for a 5 day weekend? Be rational.

Now that you know what you’re looking for, the trick is to add all the online classes you can get and then try to work in the rest of your real classes into one or two days a week, preferably consecutive days.

If you like to sleep in, aim for those later classes and if you like to get school out of the way and have the rest of your day ahead of you, then have fun waking up at the crack of dawn to take notes for three hours.

The only downside to this is that no other semester will ever be as perfect.
