The College Survival Playbook
College is freedom on paper and a battlefield in reality. Most students hit campus with confidence… and then immediately get blindsided by responsibility, distractions, drama, and decisions that come with real consequences. The College Survival Playbook is the honest, no-nonsense guide every student needs to stay focused, stay grounded, and avoid blowing up their future before it even starts.
This isn’t another “study tips” booklet written by someone who hasn’t seen daylight since 2007. This playbook tackles the real issues students face: mastering the basics they should’ve learned in high school, setting boundaries with people who drain them, and navigating the freedoms that can launch their life forward — or send it straight into a ditch. From time management and study habits to relationships, roommates, professors, and campus chaos, this guide lays out the practical skills students need to stay ahead instead of playing academic catch-up.
But this book goes deeper than GPA hacks. College exposes every crack in your character, your habits, and your heart. Students will learn how to handle mental health struggles, burnout, emotional pain, and the pressures nobody warns them about. They’ll discover why healing matters, where hope actually comes from, and how today’s decisions shape tomorrow’s opportunities. The College Survival Playbook pushes students to look beyond campus life and start building a reputation, a future, and a life they’ll actually be proud of — not one they’ll spend years trying to clean up.
