Nobody hands you a syllabus for actual life.

You get a student ID, a schedule, and a vague sense you're an adult now — then everyone expects you to figure out the rest.

The First Year is that missing syllabus: money, grades, and the life skills nobody teaches you before college.

Inside: how to budget on financial aid before it vanishes, the study method that beats rereading notes, how to stop procrastinating in 20 minutes, plus the independence basics — cooking, credit, talking to professors.

No filler chapters. Just what second-years wish they'd known in September.
