I recommend this book to all future and current college students. It was kind of annoying how in the book they kept on advising. Otherwise, it was a great book, its filled with how paths of life, life is all about choices, how to manage your money while in college on a tight budget, etc. I really liked the inspiring quotes and personal stories it had every now and again about the chapters.
