I am stuck trying to explain that "I got accustomed". I would like to use the
same grammar as in:

> 寒くなる

But with

> 慣れる

Could you point me to the right direction and also share other patterns to
express the fact to get accustomed/used to something over time?

Grammar: Combine 慣れる and -くなる
One cannot combine 「[慣]{な}れる」 with 「なる」.

「[寒]{さむ}くなる」 is fine because 「寒い/寒く」 is an adjective. 「慣れる」 is a verb.

To express "to get accustomed to", you can say:

> 「慣れてくる」 and 「慣れていく」.

No other forms could express the "get" part of "to get accustomed to" nearly
as closely as these two.

> 「[大学生活]{だいがくせいかつ}にも慣れてきました。」 = "I am getting used to my college life."
>
> 「まだ大学生活には慣れていませんが、これから少しずつ慣れていくと思います。」 = "I am not used to college life yet,
> but I think I will get used to it little by little from now on."

Notice neither いく nor くる is used in the first part of my second example
sentence because it says "I am not used to".
