If you have a child heading off to college in the fall, you’re probably starting to realize about now just how short the summers are. Very soon, you’ll be purchasing new items, packing up, and shedding tears as you say good-bye to your child, whether he or she is heading off to college for the first time or the fourth. Now would be a good time to get a copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul: Campus Chronicles for advice and support.
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Campus Chronicles is divided into chapters such as “Overcoming Fear,” “Trying New Things,” “Good Friends… and Not,” “Professors and Mentors,” “Family Bonds,” “Love and Dating,” and “Personal Growth.” The stories in this book about acclimating to college life, resolving roommate squabbles, and surviving difficult classes are great conversation-starters for parents to talk with their teens about being away from home and experiencing college life. A few of the stories you’ll read about include:
- Finding closure in a college romance gone bad
- Dealing with a problematic roommate’s unwanted guests
- Studying abroad
- One student’s struggle to figure out her major
- An unusual spring break trip spent in service to others
You can find Chicken Soup for the Soul: Campus Chronicles on the Chicken Soup website, on Amazon, and at your local bookstore.
