Course Scheduling
It's about time that I have to schedule what classes I take during next semester. I become a junior and most of the classes will be specialized subjects related to engineering. These may be tough to learn, but I'm looking forward to studying them because they are what I really wanted to learn in university. Half of my university days have passed. I'll make the other half more meaningful and fulfilling days.

It'’s abroutnd the time that I have to schedule what classes I take during the next semester.
This one is tricky! “It’s about time” is technically correct, but it’s too colloquial for this writing assignment. It’s generally preferred by many to exclude colloquial phrases in formal, written English. This is a really nuanced mistake to make, so I wouldn’t worry about it.
It’s ideal to use “the” before “next semester” because the next semester is the subject this sentence focuses on (the classes in the next semester, to be more specific). Alternatively, you can transform your piece into a more colloquial tone:
“It's about time I have to schedule what classes I’m taking next semester.”
It’s up to you to decide the tone of your piece. I’m opting for a more formal tone as it’s never really incorrect in most scenarios.
I become a junior and most of the classes will be specialized subjects related to engineering.

It’s important to maintain tenses throughout your clauses. Since you’re talking in the first person present about your experience in university, it’s advisable that you stick to that present tense throughout your sentence here. There are exceptions, but not so much here.
Half of my university days have passed.
I'll make the other half more meaningful and fulfilling days.
It’s good to not repeat known ideas/nouns in a sentence that can be inferred easily. You already did this with “university”, so you can keep going and combine “days” since the reader understands “university days” as one concept that’s shared by this sentence.
Feedback
This is really good! Most of the corrections are style-based, and to do with the maintenance of tone. Otherwise, great work.
