The College Frenzy
The results are in for our little polls. What did I learn? Hmmm. We've got a lot of teen readers, but also a decent amount of 20 up, I think. And we're nearly all female. Hopefully our Geek Boy Maybe will add a bit more of a male following. I'm pretty content with the ages, though.
I was brainstorming last night, trying to come up with some new ideas for the blog. What do a lot of teens have in common? I came up with: college. Older teens, in particular, are hit with the college frenzy that sweeps America (and perhaps other countries, as well).
It is time to give a little info up about me. I am a teen. I've never stated that outright on the blog to avoid stereotyping/bias, but if most of you guys are teens, too, I don't mind owning up. I am immersed in the college craze right now. Which schools to visit? Which classes to take next year? How to buff up my resume? So many questions. Though I can't answer most of them for my readers, there is one question I can answer: Which college-related books to read?
I've decided to include college-related books in my reviews. This way, readers will know which ones to read and which to avoid.
If there is something else college-related that you guys would like me to write about, I'm open to new ideas. Comment away! Let me know what you think. If its a bad idea, I can always pull the plug on it.
always,

Vegan Virgin Valentine, by Carolyn Mackler. Good for overachieving teens who need to stop and smell the roses once in a while.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankfully past that stage of my life right now but I'm always intrigued by college-related books. Here are a few of my favorites that you should definitely check out if you have the time:
ReplyDeleteThe Overachievers by Alexandra Robbins - nonfiction expose on the scarily intense nature of high school students
A is for Admission - an in on how the college admissions process works
The Price of Admission - also nonfiction, but shows how biased admissions are towards the rich and the connected
Okay, so maybe some of them are depressing... but they were all great to read!
