Is this too much for freshman year?

Hello, I am trying to plan my freshman year roughly and am thinking of these courses for my first semester. However, I am worried that it will be too much.

Statistics - 3 Hours

Undergraduate Seminar - 3 Hours

Creative Arts (core curriculum) - 3 Hours

Psychology - 3 Hours

Beginning Spanish II - 6 Hours

This totals to 18 hours. I know that 18 hours is a lot (especially for a freshman), but I have taken AP Spanish and do not think that Beginning Spanish will be too difficult for me, nor will Undergraduate Seminar. Is this too much, or will it be ok, considering the low difficulty of the courses? I want to minor in Spanish, and this is the only way for me to be able to fit it into my schedule, or I will not be able to graduate in time. I cannot take summer courses because I want to do nursing and it already has required summer courses in the degree plan.
