I took five years to get through and loved every moment of it. I did change my major which contributed to it. I could have gotten through in four years if I had pushed myself, taken more credits, done summer school, etc. but why put myself through that much extra stress?
You only get one chance to do college and enjoy those opportunities. I loved being involved on campus and held multiple leadership positions on campus, in the Greek system, and in my chapter. They were more valuable to me than probably 90% of my coursework.
Life after college is challenging enough. Most people graduating now will work until old age (and mostly not by choice). Enjoy your freedom and youth while you can.
