Summary: This was a very funny and entertaining book!
Review: I found Chicken Soup for the College Soul is a very humorus and entertaining book. In many ways this book hit home, and not only because I am a college student myself, but because I am a young adult and going through many changes in life, as are the writers in this book. This is a very easy to read book because it is seperated into many different very touching, humorous, and informational stories. This book gives young adults and collage students a good chance to hear stories about other people and and there reactions to certain incedents. It may even give the reader a chance to learn from there mistakes, or even just be able to relate to someone else. In the fast moving world today it is very easy to forget that there are other people dealing with the same everyday stresses and challenges, and this book gives the reader a chance to sit down and find the humor and the sadness to alot of these experiences. I highly recommend anyone to read this book.

Summary: I couldn't stop laughing :)
Review: I never knew that there was a book called chicken soup for any soul until my mentor suggested I read Chicken soup for the Women's soul. I liked that one. All of them have short stories about real people and things that happened to them as they walk threw their lives. On my first day of College which was July of 2001 I went to the bookstore and I saw Chicken soup for the College soul and I thought I have to get this book, I read a little bit while I was in the store, and I could relate with some of the stories about classes and room mates. I brought it and when I was bored some days in my dorm I would read the book ,and I would laugh so much my room mate whould ask me are you ok? I highly recommend this book for any college student. There are stories that could make you emotional, laugh, or perhaps know what not to do. There are definitely stories that many people can relate to. In my case:
I love philosophy and there was this one story about a student who didn't really like the class too much I think. (It's been a while since I read this one) but the teacher said how many people know there grandparents most people raise their hands, than he said how many people know there great grandparents a couple people raise there hands, and how many people know anything about your great great grandparents one or two people raise their hands. He said something about leaving your mark so people can remember you down the line, so you won't be forgotten or perhaps no will remember you exist later on in the years. It made everyone in the room stay 5 minutes after class wondering about that. It made me wonder too. There are other stories that are like that. It's a great book.

Summary: A great collection of comforting and funny stories.
Review: I received Chicken Soup for the College Soul, for Christmas during my senior year of highschool. During this time, like many seniors, I was completely stressed out over choosing and appling to colleges. The stories in this book helped me to realize that college can be a lot of fun and is not something to stress out about. The section titled Transition was the most helpful to me. Saying good-bye to the only family and friends that you have known during your life is hard. This section shows how other seniors handled saying good bye to life long friends and saying hello to students on their new campuses. High school seniors have a hard time showing emotions and admitting to others that they are afraid of what lays ahead. This book explains different aspects of college life and how to handle them. The best way to learn about college life is from people who have experienced it. Chicken Soup for the College Soul is made up entirely of stories people have written about their college experiences. If you know a high school student I highly recommend purchasing this book for them. Going to college is going to be scary, but having a book full of people who have been in my situation and survived will give me the courage to conquer college life.

Summary: THIS BOOK SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT IN A 1ST YEAR G.E. CLASS!!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I read it the summer before I started my junior year. It prepared me for transferring to a university from a community college. I think all college students should have to read it in one of their required G.E. classes to get them adjusted to college life. It is so wonderful!!! I would highly, highly recommend it to current college students of ANY age, high schoolers, and teenagers. I think they would all like it. I would recommend it as a high school graduation gift for the high school senior going in to college, whether it be the community college level or university. It will be so helpful to them! It really helps to know that you are not the only one who is going through many things in life, especially in college. This book helps you know that you are not alone in the feelings of confusion and frustration during life in college. It shows you that others have experienced the same thing, and it even gives you ideas on how to handle certain things that come up. I really enjoyed it!!!
