Help me choose my last subject

So far my subjects look like this:

Sem1:
Calc 1
Physics 1
Introductory Microeconomics

Sem2:
Calc 2
Physics 2
esd2
linear algebra


As you can see I need to choose one more subject for semester one but I'm having a difficult time because of the sheer number of subjects to choose from. Can anybody recommend any subjects? I'm hoping to major in civil engineering btw. I was thinking maybe philosophy or another commerce breadth subject but I'm not sure. Please help!

Could take linear algebra in S1 and then do Engineering Maths in S2.

Sorry, my bad. Read S1 as Calc2 and completely disregarded the 2nd semester subjects.

Since you're not doing a breadth in sem 2, I would pick another one in sem 1 so you won't be behind in breadths and have to do them later on when when you might not want to.

I actually liked that I could do 2 first year breadths in 2nd year, and a 2nd year breadth in 3rd year. It slightly lowered the load and expectation (as it jumps up a lot from 1st to 2nd year) and made everything I little more relaxed.

Thanks for the responses guys. I tried to choose introductory macroeconomics but I couldn't because introductory microeconomics is a prerequisite, so I chose "Philosophy: the big questions".

Thanks basicacid, same to you! I'm pretty sure we can choose a few more commerce subjects than just the two introductory economics. For example I think we can choose finance 1 and a few others but the rest didnt really interest me.
