Don't take classes you don't need in college

Transcript

Don't take classes you don't need in college, okay? Cause your school or your advisor will tell you classes that are mandatory, but all the time they're really like, suggested mandatory classes. Like I never took Calc 1 in college because it wasn't actually mandatory, it was like a suggested mandatory class, but it said on the site that you needed it or like a language is required. A lot of times you could test out of a second language if you fluently speak a second language. So don't be taking all these classes you don't need, filling up your schedule, pushing classes that you actually need back. Nah.
