The Best Four Years - How to Survive and Thrive in College (and Life)

Adam Shepard, author of Scratch Beginnings is back with his new book The Best Four Years: How to Survive in College (and Life). After speaking at colleges and universities across the nation he found he was being asked the same questions by students and parents hungry to know how to capitalize on their education: How do you walk away with more than just a piece of paper saying you graduated? What are the pitfalls and the opportunities that you should look out for? How do you make the absolute most of your time in college? As a result, Adam became interested in providing a comprehensive guide to answer these questions-and many more. In The Best Four Years, Adam uses his own experiences from college and lessons learned on his speaking circuit to examine and explain the many aspects (and surprises) of college life, including: -the transition to life away from home -the ins and outs of a tight budget -the necessity of scheduling -the importance of time off -the subtleties of social life, and much more. Adam offers students motivation and direction as they tackle what could be the best four years of their lives.
