VOX: THE VOICE OF OUR GENERATION (MAY 2004)
Good advice about saying goodbye to your parents, dealing with homesickness, making new friends, and getting around campus. Should you live in a dorm or off campus? What activities will fit you? What about a roommate? Yikes! If you were a good student in high school, should you take extra classes or wait until you get your bearings? Oh, yeah, and what about studying? Alone or with groups? Is it really necessary to attend every class? These questions and lots more (money, laundry, food, sex, parties, time-management, etc.) are addressed with honesty and humor. This would be a great book to have for the graduating high school seniors to make them less anxious about college.

Introduction
The world contains well over a billion people between the ages of 12 and 20. Thats enough to fill a small planet: in fact, many of them seem to come from another planet. True, only a small fraction of these teens are your direct responsibility here on earth. But, as youve no doubt discovered, they carry with them an entire universe of problems, dramas, issues, feelings, and MP3 files.
