So I'm about to be 26, just applied again to my dream college, Texas A&M Kingsville, for my dream career, veterinarian, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be accepted because of my letters of recommendation and so what would yall recommend I get to be ready to start classes?

You have to know how you learn :)
It’s very important in order to work better !
This is incredibly important. It took me a long time and working on things on my own to figure out that, i don't totally suck at math, i just need to see the big picture, how it all fits together, and how it is used in the real world.
Okay so I know this website that sells pdfs of textbooks FOR WAYYY CHEAPER than Chegg. I don't know if it's propaganda from SK, all I know is that I got 2 pdfs for $40 and I was about to pay $90-100 to rent the same textbooks on Chegg.
Also in my opinion, learn asap the way that you learn the concepts. Such as if you are a visual, auditory, kinesthetic person. Take in consideration that you have to have a schedule, it's not about "oh getting into the university is the hardest part". I hate to be like this, but I'd rather just tell you straight up than to sugarcoat it. I'm 18 and I'm a few college hours away from being a junior in college. I learned the hard way in middle school college classes.
Amazon does rentals, as well.
I always have a notebook, a multi pocket folder, lots of colorful pens (for me I color coordinated my notes but thats me being extra :sweat_smile: ), and my laptop/charger(s).
Rent textbooks if you can unless you really think you will reference them again in the future. Look at Chegg or thriftbooks for really good prices on books and sometimes i like to just double check google by typing in the ISBN number and seeing what pops up. I have found some really cheap online textbooks that way.
