What is the best present to make to someone who is going to college?

My name is Erin and I will be a "freshman" in college this fall. I got this book as a present from the Office of Campus Life and first I though that it was going to be boooring but as I started reading it I realized that It is actually interesting, informative and easy to read.

You always keep a map in you car don't you? This book is your map in college; it is a guide you need from the day you arrive in campus and up to the day you graduate and throw your caps in the air. In the main time you have to deal with bum professors, roommates with smelly feet, and some boys and girls in the bar who you do not know very well. You have to confront alcohol, drugs, and unprotected sex but you are not sure how. This book will help you; it is the best source out there; I say it loud, I say it proud.

What do you say? Read it and find it out.

From dealing with practical-life issues of roommates; to driving to school; to dealing with registration; to holding down a job; to keeping balanced finances; to practicing effective study habits, and a great deal more, Giving Away The Keys is a very highly recommended and superbly presented compendium of sound advice making it a "must-read" for every high school graduate, whether they intend upon entering a local community college or attending a major university.
