10 Reasons "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" Is Just Like Going To College

Making connections, building a new life, and debt are essential parts of ACNH...oh wait, did you think I was talking about college?

1. Choosing your deserted island getaway package is basically like choosing a college to go to and major

When you first choose your island, you're taking a leap of faith into hopefully getting the fruits, flowers, or villagers you like! College is just the same with choosing a major and hoping you get good classes and professors!

2. If you don't like what you get, you will restart

You choose the journey you want to go on, but well.. debt! Tom Nook and your college will both remind you each time money is due.

Partaking in the stalk market means you must sell your turnips by the deadline in order to get rewarded, and no rotten turnips can be sold. College also has deadlines, except the rotten turnips are bad grades!

8. Plagiarism will never be good, and authenticity matters the most

It might be tempting to buy art from Crazy Redd to finish your museum, as it might be to copy off someone else's work, but in the end plagiarism will never be okay. It is best to stay authentic as it is more rewarding!

9. The grind never stops
