Chronicles the constant angst, hilarity, and self-doubt enmeshed in the experience of going away to college--all through the eyes of an eighteen-year-old burgeoning comics artist. |
|
"Everyone gets a fresh start. Who do you want to be? -- Sarah is leaving suburban Wisconsin for her freshman year in Minnesota. She has high hopes for the foreseeable future: impress her professors, meet interesting new people, stay close to her best friends and boyfriend back home, flourish as an artist, and shed her lingering high school anxieties. What seems manageable at first quickly unravels into a tailspin as Sarah's high-achieving roommate puts her to shame, her summer love dissolves, and she is overwhelmed by the freedom, the isolation, and all the possibilities that await in this new environment. Based on the author's personal college journal and comics, Freshman Year navigates the inner workings of an eighteen-year-old in witty, honest, and heartfelt detail." -- Back cover. |
