Summary of 101 Things a College Girl Should Know
The thought of her little sister, Amy, going off to the big world of college frightened Stephanie Edwards. How would she handle registration? What would she do on the first day of classes? How would Amy ever survive being away from home and family? Instead of taking the usual big-sister approach ("Oh, it's great. You'll love it!"). Edwards thought back to the trials and tribulations of her own first year at college, then created what has become the thoughtful gem of a book, 101 Things a College Girl Should Know from a Big Sister Who's Been There. "I tried to think of all the things I wish I'd known when I was a freshman," Stephanie writes her sister. "This list is advice based on some of the things I did wrong, something of the tings I saw my friends do wrong, and some things all first-year students do wrong. I hope you can learn from our mistakes." Edward's enlightening list will help college-bound freshmen everywhere to make that exciting-but-scary transition to campus life. She's full of thoughtful insights on the learning experience, such as Tip No. 2: "Whenever a professor offers office hours, visit him/her. (It makes a good impression.)" or Tip No. 19: "Remember: Frat guys + beer = TROUBLE"; and to help with life away from home, Tip No. 44: "Don't discourage your feelings of homesickness. (They pass.)" From tutoring to tooth care, class registration to roommates, 101 Things A College Girl Should Know has it all. Filled with helpful hints and gentle musings, this little book is a guaranteed hit as a graduation present, send-off gift, or thoughtful gesture for any campus-bound young woman.General Books
