College can be a time to see who you are, as a person, and maybe gain a skill that can lead to a profitable career. It is also relatively easy to fall “off the rails” and turn college into a disaster. The latter part is something that the book’s author knows all too well.

In his book, “How To (NOT) Fall Flat on Your Face in College: Where the Nose Meets the Grindstone or the Face Hits the Floor,” Robert D. Engelken offers a candid yet handy guide for college students. From prioritizing the college-party lifestyle to treating college as just an extension of high school, he goes deep into the root of such problems with finesse, wit, and experience. He also encourages students to build better habits that go well beyond academia.

Through this guide, the author emphasizes that it’s never too late to achieve an unforgettable college experience, even if you’re already on the road to graduation. Once you develop some of these crucial habits to attain academic success, you can effortlessly transfer these habits into your work environment.
