How to Easily Graduate College in 3 Years
I hear so many people shocked with admiration of someone that is able to finish college in 3 years. They automatically assume that person must be one of the smartest people because they can do it. I promise you it’s actually fairly easy because I would be able to do it if it wasn’t for my minor, and I’m definitely not one of the smartest at the University of Texas!
Let’s take a look at a typical degree plan. This for an Economics major:
The first thing I would do as soon as I graduate high school is register for summer class at a community college. They are so easy that you can easily get all A’s with little to no effort. I would register for 4 classes in the summer, two in the first months, two in the second month. Let’s say, following the economics degree plan, I register for 2 calculus class because they are fairly hard in college. I would also register for two foreign language classes such as Spanish, because they are very time consuming as 5 hour courses.
Now I have completed summer school, and let’s be conservative and say I only get AP credit for 2 courses (English and government). I’m a freshman in college with 24 hours and I’ve just registered for only 15 hours. Following the degree plan I can take: biology, 2nd English, 2nd government, history and a blow off education class to keep my GPA up.
I’ve completed my first semester with all A’s 
and am already done with English and government requirements. I have 39 hours and am classified as a stud sophomore. I’ve completed my spring registration for 12 hours taking: 2nd biology, 2nd history, psychology, economics, and another blow off education class.
I’m done with freshman year with 1 B 
and have 55 hours. Now I must register for more summer courses. I register for 1 calculus, 2 Spanish, 1 economics course, and another easy elective.
After summer I come into my second year with a confident 72 hours, classified as a junior! I register for 4 more fall classes including: nutrition, architecture, art history, ECO 420K (an upper division class!), and another elective.
Fall semester is done and I have 88 hours. I register for 3 upper division economics classes and a business class to start my business minor. This is my toughest semester yet, but I’m confident with my high GPA!
I’m done with my sophomore year and have 100 hours, classified as a senior. I register for 2 economics courses for fall of junior year because last semester was too tough, topping it off with 2 business courses.
No more summer school and it’s time for a summer trip to Europe or an exciting internship!
Fall of junior year is done and I’m a knowledgeable economics student. I have 112 hours and am ready to graduate one year early! I register for my only classes left: 2 economics courses and 1 business course.
It’s May of my second semester junior year and I’m ready to apply for graduation. I have 121 hours, just enough to graduate, with a major in economics and a minor in business. I have a job offer through my internship the summer before and am laughing at everyone I know stuck in school. My first paycheck is gonna be big and I’m already searching eBay for a new car!
