I’m starting nursing this fall and I’m terrified that my high school habits are going to follow me.

I was a chronic procrastinator in high school. I’d leave month-long projects until the day before, constantly skip class, and regularly hand assignments in late. And that was with only 3–4 classes at a time.

Now I’m taking 15 credits a semester with notoriously difficult courses, and the stakes are MUCH higher. I genuinely want to change, but I’m scared that wanting to change won’t be enough and I’ll end up doing so badly that I’m put on academic probation or worse.

Has anyone here been really bad at procrastinating in high school but actually managed to overcome it in university? What actually did it for you, besides “I just stopped procrastinating”? Did something specific force/change your habits?

I'm trying to register for STAT 1060 in the upcoming winter semester. It's a prerequisite course required for Semester 3 Nursing as listed on the Dal website.

I "registered" for my winter classes back in May, but recently got an email from Dal saying I actually haven't registered in any classes at all 😬. I don't know what happened, and I definitely regret not checking my schedule sooner because now STAT 1060 is full.

I noticed that MATH 1060 is listed as an equivalent/cross-listed course to STAT 1060, but I'm not sure if it would count for the Nursing prerequisite since the requirement specifically mentions STAT 1060.

Has anyone had experience trying to get into a required course after it became full? Do more seats usually open later? Also, has anyone applied to Semester 3 Nursing and knows whether MATH 1060 would satisfy the STAT 1060 requirement?

Any advice would be really appreciated, I’m spiralling right now lol. Thank you!!!
