Jill Madenberg draws upon her 20-plus years of counseling experience while her daughter Amanda—a student who just recently went off to college—adds tips and personal stories. Whether you are wondering how to choose high school classes and activities, create a realistic college list, get the most out of a campus visit, or maintain a positive and healthy attitude, Love the Journey to College will help you make educated decisions throughout the process—and show you how to do it with a smile. As the daughter of an experienced college counselor, Amanda Madenberg has been visiting colleges for as long as she can remember—on family vacations, weekend road trips, and school holidays. Even at a young age, she took interest as her mom spoke with tour guides, admissions counselors, and students on campus to get a feel for life at a particular school. Most importantly, Amanda greatly enjoyed her own college application process—from visiting campuses to writing supplemental essays. Writing as both a typical high school student and as the daughter of a college counselor, Amanda lends a unique and entertaining perspective to Love the Journey to College.

“Charming. . . . A moving testament to the diversity and depths of love.” —Publishers Weekly You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be swept away—in less time than it takes to read this paragraph. Here are 175 true stories—honest, funny, tender and wise—each as moving as a lyric poem, all told in no more than one hundred words. An electrician lights up a woman’s life, a sister longs for her homeless brother, strangers dream of what might have been. Love lost, found and reclaimed. Love that’s romantic, familial, platonic and unexpected. Most of all, these stories celebrate love as it exists in real life: a silly remark that leads to a lifetime together, a father who struggles to remember his son, ordinary moments that burn bright.

College life is fast, fun, tiring, stressful, but most of all, memorable. It is a place where people from all walks of life gather in hopes of obtaining a higher education and where unexpected bonds are forged. Those bonds come with life lessons that either make or break you. Whether you fold- that lies strictly in your hands unless life's hardships threaten to get in the way. Iyana, a nineteen-year-old mother of two, is determined to make something of herself. The road to obtaining her education hasn't been easy, but she will stop at nothing to accomplish her goals. Not even the drama with her baby's daddy and his girlfriend is enough to stand in her way. All Cartez knows is gang life, but he has the chance of a lifetime. Not everyone from his background has the opportunity to become more than just a product of their environment. Yet, he struggles to find his footing in a land so foreign from what he knows. Montreal's a spoiled rich kid who loves football, his fraternity, and sex with lots of women. However, his love for the girls is the gateway to many troubles, especially when his girlfriend, Brittany, from back home, follows him to the university during her freshman year. Brittany's love for Montreal knows no bounds. She has one hundred percent faith in their relationship until his true nature is revealed. Riddled with heartbreak, she loses herself, and there's no telling if she'll ever recover. After being abandoned by her parents at twelve, Ebony has practically been on her own. Her aunt has given her everything she could. However, what she wants more than anything is to be accepted and live a lavish lifestyle. And she will get both by any means. School's in session, but not every lesson learned comes from a book. Sometimes the best teacher is life, and not everything is sunshine and roses when studying at Hard Knock U. This is the Story of Us!

When a knee injury ends twenty-year-old Quinn Rowland’s pro tennis career, he’s not only dumped by his hot Russian girlfriend but ordered to attend college by his disinterested billionaire father. A rich kid who’s not used to being disappointed by life, Quinn and his sociopathic half-brother Sebastian create a frat house game intended to treat girls how they see them—as simple game pieces to be manipulated for their pleasure. College sophomore Emilie Swanson knows Quinn’s reputation—after all, he did send one of her sorority sisters into therapy earlier in the semester—but the game and his charm bring them closer together and soon she starts to believe there’s more to Quinn than people think. But what if the more is something darker than a game of toying with emotions and breaking hearts? Quinn and Emilie might be falling for each other, but there are secrets he’s not ready to tell—and lifestyle changes he’s reluctant to make. She willingly stepped on the court, but if Emilie finds out she started out as nothing as a pawn in Quinn and Sebastian’s twisted game, she might never forgive him. To his surprise, Quinn finds that he might finally care about someone more than he cares about himself…even if that means letting Emilie walk away for good.
