This is it—the moment you’ve spent so much time preparing for! What will it
really be like when you finally step onto the campus of your dream college?
You’ve imagined your cool roommate and the hot guys who will live down the
hall in your dorm. You have spent hours on Pinterest pinning décor ideas for your
dorm room and have mentally planned all the late-night hangouts with the new
friends you will meet. It’s fun to imagine and reimagine all the amazing ways
your life is going to change once you get to college. It’s going to be epic!

But those college fantasies can get a little murky when you’re faced with the
reality of living alone for the first time. College can get complicated: How will
1177CCoolllleeggeeTTeexxtt..iinnddbb 66 11//2299//1144 1111::4488 AAMM
you know which guys are cool (and which are creepers)? What if your roommate
turns out to be the worst? And what is that smell in the caf?!?

That’s where Seventeen comes in. This book is packed with the best advice
from girls who have been total college newbies and figured out how to ace
every party, date, sorority event, and social situation. They know exactly
how to make your roommate love you (or how to keep the peace if that’s never
going to happen). They can tell you where to find the hot guys and the telltale
signs of the dudes who will be a complete drain on your fun. They even know
the best stuff to eat in the caf and how to make your room the place where
everyone on your floor will want to hang out.

Your college experience is going to be every drop of crazy-delicious fun that
you’ve always hoped it would be. With the advice in this book, you can skip
every rookie error and walk onto campus on day one like you’re a total pro.
Who’s that confident chick? You are!
