I went through a similar experience last semester and decided to change my approach. From now on I'm going to be taking fewer classes and no longer worry if it delays my graduation date. Why? What matters most in undergrad is what you do OUTSIDE the classroom. Are you attending hackathons/programming competitions at your university? Are you applying for internships? Are you part of any club where you learn stuff? Are you preparing for coding interviews? Are you making friends? Right now the competition is easy. Most students in comp sci are caught up in their course work so it's not hard to stand out. The tech giants and local startups will be looking for undergrads/fresh grads for their internships. The biggest thing to realize is that the first serious job out of school is going to set the trajectory for the rest of your career. So you should think of your time in undergrad as a time when you set yourself up to get that ideal job. Don't expect your classes to prepare you for anything. In other words, don't worry so much about grades. Take a lighter course load if you have to. Focus on the extra curriculars instead.
