Time in Question: College Freshman Primer: 1st Semester Alexander Michaud

Time In Question follows a college freshman through his first semester. A right of passage when what were once facts, or at least reliable anecdotes, heard from well-meaning parents and friends very quickly become absolute myth, totally out of touch with today. The many frightening and exciting aspects of college are discussed, always with questionable humor and a total lack of respect. The backdrop for this merciless glimpse into higher education is Mourning College, dedicated to the pursuit of glorified, self-indulged "excellence." Professors enjoy inflicting the most pain and suffering on students' mental and physical states daily. Lackluster sport teams are cheered to ever lesser heights by overweight, underachieving, though often wealthy, alumni. And weekend parties consist of stale beer the froth of which is only freshened by rudderless conversations ultimately leading nowhere but filthy sheets and hangovers. Please read with diligence and leave all humility, sanity, and predispositions well behind. Be Warned:"The book will offend a great many people with its tactless, senseless attacks on various groups, all for the sake of 'humor.'""Everyone else will find the book insulting at best, and slanderous at worst."
