Eep I love Animal Crossing of all kinds!  Except sadly I've never had a 3ds so I've never played New Leaf even though I really want to ;o; 
 
I've been hearing from friends about this game called Stardew Valley which sounds really fun.  You can get it on Steam and play on your computer c:  I've been meaning to check it out myself :)

Hello!  Like everyone above me has mentioned--it's totally normal to feel anxious about starting college!  I, myself, am an especially anxious person.  I finished my undergraduate degree about a year ago, and it was an amazing experience.  As a freshman, I picked a high school classmate to be my roommate, but I think it's best to have a random roommate, which is what you're doing!  Become friends with your dorm/hallmates and your resident advisor!  You're being thrown into a completely unfamiliar environment and that is really good for personal growth; you will learn to expand your comfort zone!  Embrace the new things, breathe and take things one at a time.  At first, everything will feel overwhelming, but soon, as you will see, attending college will feel like second nature.  
 
About the textbooks....there is never that great of a price, sadly.  Textbooks are constantly changing and always really expensive.  Once you develop your network of friends and classmates at your college, you'll be able to borrow and buy from one another (someone might have taken Class A in the Fall and now you're taking Class A in the winter; great opportunity to ask for their textbooks, etc.!).  Check out Amazon.com, too!  
 
If you're feeling stressed about your major choice, that's also really normal.  Just know that there are resources out there for you to help manage this.  You can always talk to your academic advisor or even a school therapist!  Many students go to the school therapists just to talk about their stress, not necessarily a super traumatic event.  That's what they're there for!  :)  Also, a lot of students will change their major at one point, and that is also okay.  I entered university as a Social Ecology undecided major, considered theater, music, psychology, engineering, and finally graduated with a degree in English.  What I found especially helpful for stress was to talk to my professors.  By developing a good relationship with your lecturers, instructors and professors, you'll have a fantastic support system for your schoolwork.  Whenever I had trouble with an essay or something, I'd go and talk it out with my professor during office hours or appointment.  They'd offer insight, help me develop my ideas, and then I'd go home ready and confident to revise my essay!  Also, I've noticed that if you're attending office hours, you're demonstrating your interest and effort.  This will always benefit you in some way.  
 
Anyway, I've written quite a lot (college counseling/advising is a little unofficial passion of mine)!  I'd love to answer any more questions or concerns or talk about anything about college if you'd like -- you can just message me!
