By Zachary White, Ph.D.
Incoming college freshmen often hear that college will be the best time of their lives. With new friends, new activities, and new independence, college thrusts young people into a challenging yet exciting situation. But in the midst of entering this thrilling world, many students struggle with the phenomenon known as "binge thinking." After years of research as students, graduate students, and professors, authors Dr. Gino Borges and Dr. Zachary White discovered that the majority of college students obsess over the following issues: Loneliness
The desire for recognition
The need to belong
Dissatisfaction
Finding a perfect relationship and an ideal job
Binge thinking produces an excess of thought that, if not appropriately treated, overshadows the highly publicized positive aspects of the college experience. In Binge Thinking, you'll meet five fictional students suffering from binge thinking. You'll also meet a mysterious and wise character that gives each student a real-world remedy for real-life thinking hangovers. Binge Thinking is the perfect companion for understanding the thoughts you will inevitably experience during your college years.

"Some are single, some are married, some have kids, some do not, some are twenty-four, some are sixty-four We are not straight out of high school living four more years of playfulness. Some of us are in college to improve our future or the future of our children. Many of us are changing an academic legacy by being the first in our families to graduate from college. Others are starting again after military service or making a new path out of a dead-end job or relationship " " I was tired of having spaghetti every night, sick of living in a dump of an apartment. The thought of having children was out of the question. I couldn't believe this was my life. An education was the only way to change that." " Hearing those phrases "It's a girl" and "You may now kiss the bride" made me think, "I am now a wife and a mother never again a student"." "The desks sure hadn't changed, but in the past 20 years, I sure had." Non-traditional students face challenges well beyond academia. In this anthology, adult learners share their personal journeys. Facing fears, overcoming obstacles, to graduation day, these stories will inspire anyone considering their own education endeavor.

The Art of Partying is partying's science, its craft; it's the search for the last piece of joy in a lost corner of the world. It's an introduction into all that's unique and restless in your own being, and an initiation deep inside the woman you've just met. It's a nose thumbing at all the inborn tendancies that make one practical, predictable and prosaic. It's betting the pot, spinning the wheel, picking the mad horse; it's the last earthly chance before your tedious, worthless life reaches its expiration date.

Beyond Majors and G.P.A. is back in this second edition, once again seeking to calm a number of fears that students have. Many students believe that choosing a major means automatically closing career doors; that anything under a 4.0 Grade Point Average will spell disaster; and that something must be wrong if a student stays in college longer than four years. Relying on a combination of personal stories, those of a number of friends, and even those of working professionals, the book demonstrates that beliefs like these cannot be further from the truth. In addition, Beyond Majors and G.P.A. offers resources and strategies on a number of topics that are important both during and after college. Topics covered include financial literacy, building leadership skills, networking, goal planning, entrepreneurship, and personal/professional development, among others. Authored by a recent graduate while still in college, Beyond Majors and G.P.A. is once again edited by a current student and features a powerful Foreword by a recent graduate.
