Should I take calculus?

I don't know if I want to take calculus next year as a senior. I am okay at math. I am in precalc and have 83% average.

Supposedly, calculus is hard, but I know I can handle it if I study. My question is this- is taking a class like calculus akin in benefit to something like honors chemistry in terms of college admissions?

If it's not a class that will impress colleges like an honors or ap class then I still want to take it- just because I want to be able to take pride in the levels of classes I've taken. But if it really is a too hard class that doesn't even impress colleges, I'm not sure I want to take it.

    Calc is definitely one of the hardest math class. It requires a lot of memorization and algebraic work. I don't think taking calc helped me with chemistry. But it may be useful to take if you plan on taking it in college.
