Seven Year Degree

Things no one tells you how to have fun and successful college life without debt or regrets.

About the Book

Some people are born to parents who went to college who can guide their kids. Most have not. This is a book for those who have no idea how to get there, what to expect and how to get through it. 

This book helps you and tells you: you can do it. Even if it is hard, or takes longer than expected or is horribly frustrating, you can do it. 

The tips are not supposed to show every situation, but touch on many to show that there is always a way out.

Thus using my experience you can succeed and do better than you would have others. 

My personal story is that because of my parents and good friends, I got into a good school. There I floundered and dropped out and eventually I finished. Aftwards I had many people coming up to me and asking me advice about college. So why not put all that advice into a book? This book is my experiences, my mistakes and my triumphs. It is disguised advice.

You can download and print individual chapters or print the whole thing, it is only 50 double sided pages. 

It is a work in progress so feel free to contribute your stories or suggest other topics we can add or expand upon.

Thank you for checking it out and we look forward to your feedback.
