LJ is my main source of distraction and time-wasting. I'm horrible about procrastinating, and so I always have something like that. If it isn't lj, it's something awful like BJfic.net. My freshman year before I had an lj and was actively involved in fandom, I played minesweeper a lot. Hours a day on live journal is not do-able for me when I'm in classes, but as it is my main source of time-wastingness I do manage to stay fairly well caught up. Then again, I'm not really as involved as a lot of the fandom people on my flist are. I keep up with my flist, but I don't update everyday or anything like that.
I'm going into my senior year in college. I remember leaving for my freshman year and having all of those exact same worries. I wasn't a people person and I needed my space. I was (am) very close to my family, especially my brother, and moving away from them was difficult. I couldn't decide what to take with me and what to leave behind and I ended up with way more stuff than would fit in half a dorm room. The worries are normal, but I'm sure you'll be fine. I was no good at sharing a space with another person - but I did it for two years, and found it much easier to adapt to than I thought that I would. Change is scary, but it's exciting too. Good luck! You're going to be fine. *hugs*
