I would like to see a club in
which students could get togeth

or anti-violence rally for middle
and high school students would
be important to include.
Chicken Soup For
The College Soul
Now there’s one more thing to
pack up when students go to col
lege —a special edition of a best
selling book series dedicated
especially to the college student.
The college years are a time of
transition for students—and their
parents—as students experience
some challenging life lessons and
move toward adulthood.
Chicken Soup for the College
Soul (Health Communications,
Inc., $12.95) captures the confu-
sion of collegiate emotions in the
vivid and empathetic manner that
the Chicken Soup for the Soul
series is known for.
Co-authored by Kimberly
Kirberger, Jack Canfield, Mark
Victor Hansen and Dan Clark, the
book captures the laughter and
tears, triumphs and trepidations
and joys and fears associated with
the college years.
Chapters include “Getting In,”
which illustrates the humor and

I would like to start a club to

for the first time; “Tough Stuff,”
which deals with tough decisions
and tragedies; and “Graduation.”
One story, “A Dad Says
Goodbye,” shares the reverie of a
parent who remembers bringing
his daughter home from the hos
pital as she is setting up her col
lege dorm. His memories help
him prepare for the fact that she
won’t be coming home when he
and his wife leave.
Another story, “Some
Professors Are Smarter Than You
Think,” tells the tale of four col
lege students who faked an excuse
for missing their chemistry final
and thought that they could not
only get away with it, but ace the
class. As smart as these A students
were, their professor found a way
to outsmart them.
As with the other books in the
series, Chicken Soup for the
College Soul is bound to leave an
indelible impression on readers,
showing that no matter what your
age, you’re never too old for
some Chicken Soup.
