So I am kind of a non-traditional student. I was a Nursing major, and switched my major junior year. Am I doing too much this summer? I am starting research, taking a biology class, and doing a volunteering program (that requires 125 hours this summer). I feel like I can handle it but I am just nervous about it. I took Chem II and Physics I last summer and did pretty well. Thoughts?

I dont understand the above posters. Just because you will one day be a resident working 80 hours a week, doesn't mean you should now! That being said, your schedule doesn't sound too bad depending on how many hours you will be spending on research.
 
No one can answer this other than you, unfortunately. I would recommend charting out your week with expected hours/schedule and seeing if it is something that seems overwhelming to you.
