This might seem a bit offbeat, but what in your experience was the easiest class you took in college? I've been having a tough time balancing everything recently and a less burdening class could be really helpful.
This is a tricky one because what makes a class "easy" can vary greatly from one person to another, depending on interests, abilities, and prior knowledge. That being said, a lot of students often find "Introduction to Art History" or "Survey of Classical Music" to be more manageable classes because they generally consist of memorization and can be quite interesting, especially if you've an inclination towards arts or music.
Being that you're seeking an easier load, you might want to find a class that aligns with your interests. So, if you find yourself intrigued by public speaking or have an interest in communication, a course like "Public Speaking 101" might not appear as labor-intensive for you.
Alternatively, you might consider a course that provides skill development, such as a basic computer programming class or a physical education class. These can often feel lighter, even if you're learning a lot, because they tend to have moment-to-moment goals and clear paths to improvement.
However, I would advise that you maintain a balance with courses that are relevant to your major and those that you are taking to lighten the load. Remember, in the long run, the most valuable courses are often the ones that challenge you and help you grow in your field of interest.
