<p>I love playing sports and racing video games. I’m thinking about restarting my Gamefly account when I head to USC this fall. I’m willing to shell out $25 a month for the service because I know it is good from my past experience. I will be bringing my PS4 as well regardless, partly because I’m planning to purchase NBA game time to keep up with watching my favorite team. However, I’m majoring in broadcast journalism in sports at Annenberg and it sounds like I will be busy with that, plus keeping up on academics and playing intramural sports. So, will I, considering I will likely live in my own private room, have time to make my Gamefly subscription worthwhile by having time to play video games or is college too busy to have down time?</p>
<p>These next few years are very important to your life. Their will be time for non-stop delivered games to your room later on. Right now your best bet is to focus on your academics and have fun in moderation and don’t forget why you came here! 
</p>
<p>I wouldn’t suggest it at the start of the year, especially if you’ve got a single. Go out, make friends, and don’t let yourself be tempted to hide away playing games all day! Alternatively, bring a couple multiplayer games and invite people to come play with you. :P</p>
<p>Anyway, at least for the start of the year, it’s probably not worth it… first month or two is usually pretty hectic, and you should push yourself to go out and be social while everyone else is doing the same. That’ll also give you time to judge the situation and determine how much free time you actually have, if you find yourself bored later in the semester you can always get gamefly again then, right?</p>
<p>Yes. There will be time. Gamefly would not probably be worthwhile. </p>
<p>Fwiw, I met many a friend in college by going around and hanging out with people who were gaming with doors open- including my fiance. Moderation is the key as in all things.</p>
<p>It really depends on what activities you decide to give priority in your life. Yes, there are people who simply attend classes then stay in their dorm and play video games for the rest of the day. However, If you would like the make the most out of your experience I would recommend branching out and meeting new people at clubs, lectures, and sporting events.</p>
<p>The first month of your freshmen year will be extremely important to adjusting to college life and you will soon find that there are many opportunities on and around campus for you to participate in that will fit your interests. Since you are interested in broadcasting journalism, I would highly recommend reaching out to the school newspaper, tv station, and radio.</p>
<p>Academics should always your top priority but there will be some down time for you to play video games but it will most likely be with a group of friends hanging out.</p>
