Your course load should be fine (I assume that most of them are lower-level classes since you're a freshman).
If you really need the money, then keep your jobs b/c it is posssible, just not easily to accomplish. Otherwise, if the pay is about the same, keep your daycare job and give up your weekend job so you'll get the weekends off.
Then, with weekends "free," you can get homework/papers done for the upcoming week and throw in a little relaxation (and relaxation keeps you from burning out, which you are currently at risk of).

I think I am the only one, who does not think it's too much for you...
Well, I think you would feel better if you knew my schedule...
I am a 15 years old high school student in KZ.
Monday, Wednesday.
9 AM - 4 PM - school.
4 PM - 4:30 PM - homework
4:30 PM - 5:30 PM - german class at home with a teacher
6 PM - 8 PM - go to gym.
8:30 PM - 10 PM - English, French, German classes at home by myself.
10 PM - ... (every day different) - math correspondence school.
Tuesday, Thursday - same thing, but instead of german I have 1.5 hour french classes, and instead of gym I take a guitar lessons.
Saturday:
9 AM - 2 PM - school
2:30 PM - 4 PM - french classes.
the rest of a day - math and homework. at the end of a day I also have german, french and english lessons by myself.
But it's Ok for me - I got used to it. You can get used to it too. Just try to find something interesting or different in each your action and everything is gonna be Ok!
Good Luck!

The only suggestion that I would make it to drop one of your jobs...preferrably the one outside of daycare. Working 5 days per week is a LOT, especially as a freshman in college.
Your classes seem fine, even though you don't specify which classes they are, or what level they are. I am assuming that you are taking a couple of science classes, since you have two different lab times. This will take up a lot of your time.
I would, at least, stop working so much until you know how you will adapt to college life. It is much different than high school, an you have a lot more responsibilities. You have to weigh the benefits of working so much.

I would say this is a little bit much. You are working 2 jobs and going to school, when do you have time for homework and rest and study times, and just time to yourself? Maybe, it possible don't work at the day care or something. Maybe cut 1 class if possible. I am not sure how many credit hours you are taking, but it sounds like quite a load from your schedule. I hope you can figure it out for yourself too. Good Luck with everything.

I know it seems like alot .. but some of us do not have a choice.. I work full time and go to school full time too... i do not have a day off between the two of them. 7days a week i am at one of them. It would be nice to just be able to go to school and not work but for some of us this is not an option. Hang in there and realize that one day it is going to pay off and you are not alone out there. but if you do have a choice then make it a little easier on yourself.sounds like you dont. if you do really need to work to provide for yourself then just take up to 12 credits, and maybe one or two to make up for it in the summers. no one graduates on time now a days, dont make it harder on yourself then you have to. I went through the same thing when i was a freshman and am still doing this right now.
hang in there and lots of love

If anything I would say to quit the daycare job, and that should lighten up your day some, since you only work 1 1/2hrs a day. Or if your getting paid good there, quit the othe job. If you feel like your not making enough money then you can always get a federal loan, which may or may not be interest free for you.

that looks about typical for someone working and going to school
