Higher Education: A mind-altering coming-of-age campus novel

More about the book

How many college parties does it take to get over your high school ex? College freshman Carlos Vasquez hopes to leave teen problems like that behind with a firehose of first-evers: first frat party, first Fireball shot, first bong hit... First blackout? First failed midterm? First roommate's girlfriend moved in and now she won't leave? Every day feels like a hangover at his second-choice school until he meets Julie Kim, weed-lover and aux-lord extraordinaire. She's looking for a new start of her own and inspires Carlos to see new perspectives, another "first-ever." Together, they and their new friends partake in the mind-expanding work of identity, sexuality, and relationships. You know, "adult" problems. Experiments in love, friendship, and other drugs will teach Carlos and Julie that they'll need to do more than pass their classes to make the most of their higher education.
