I only attacked the "cause I'm bad at it" reason because that was the only one you stated.
I don't know about Count, but when I go to college, I'm either walking or biking to my classes. There's no reason to take a car when you might be stuck in traffic and be late when you could get some extra exercise~
Or, you could just plan your route based on traffic conditions. I haven't walked or biked anywhere since I got my car. In my first year of college I likely won't have a parking spot though so I have no idea what I'm gonna do. Maybe I'll just ghetto it on the street somewhere and hope I don't get robbed. Walking for transportation is really unfathomable when you have the option of sitting in a comfortable seat, listening to your favorite tunes, and driving somewhere.
OT: Grats on starting college. I can only imagine the novelty of living under your own supervision at your own residence (even though you share it) and not dealing with parents on a daily basis. Good luck with your room mate, and be friendly if you see your neighbors on move in day. You my as well be as outgoing as possible, everyone there's new and probably very few people already have a friend group to associate with. Plus, then you get invited to all those dorm parties ;). Oh, and get on your DA's good side. If you see him/her, introduce yourself. I've heard many a story where college students get completely forgeted over by their DAs. That's pretty much all the advice I've got for you, enjoy your new home!
