The information that surprised us the most is that she got caught drinking already in the first chapter. The reason this was surprising is because she is of age and is allowed to drink outside of the dorm. Also with her being the age she is, you would think that she would know and follow the rules of the place she is residing in. It is also shocking because you don’t hear of people with doctorates getting in trouble and having disciplinary measures taken upon them. Another thing that surprised us is that she participated in athletic events provided by the university. The most shocking thing about this is that she was actually good for her age, and despite her age, she found a way to connect with other college students.
Some information that has been left out so far is how this experience has affected her in her transition to living in the dorms. If she does have a family, we wonder how they are handling living without her and if she visits her home often. We also would like to know if she went to any college parties, or if anyone invited her because of her age. We wonder if she was accepted and seen as an equal in the classroom by both students and her professors.
The ideal audience for this book is college students, preferably freshmen, because they can relate to it better. The book may help them deal with the new situations they are being thrown into; also may bring humor to what they go through and the struggles they face. Professors may also be a good audience, because it may help them understand his or her students better. It may also answer the questions for people wondering if the typical college student has changed throughout time. Changes that are due to the influence of culture, and what is accepted in these groups of young adults.
