Doesn't mean this isn't a good time to treat yourself, you need to do that too.
Where will you park? Can you afford the insurance? Will it be a vandalism target? (A couple locals are having issues with this, sadly.) Where will you work in it if you do the mods? Will you be able to afford to fix it if it breaks? Can you do without the car if not? College is a busy time.
I got my first new car (a Neon ACR) as a treat for landing my first real job out of college. It felt good having earned it rather than scratching that "want" itch... Especially because the want itch would bankrupt me.
Not going to say you shouldn't jump in, but trying to share some things I've learned that might help you consider the options.

There's a ton of things to consider. I really think I could handle it but I think I want to wait like 3-4 more months just to save up a few more thousand and then find the right brz for me. Luckily vandalism isn't a problem where I live. And parking isn't an issue I have a garage. I can afford payments pretty easily, and mods can be done in my garage for sure! Just have to be patient like you said which is hard to do when I daily an automatic cobalt 🙄Kills me just wanna be driving my manual brz around already. First car I learned to drive was manual and its a lot better then auto, really don't like auto haha.
