Description
Eric's one goal for his first semester at Harvard is simple: to not thoroughly embarrass himself. He manages to fail this single objective in the first hour of the first day when he accidentally locks himself out of his room in nothing but his underwear.
Thus begins one of the craziest years ever at Harvard, in which Eric finds himself involved in a cheating scheme, trying to join a prestigious Finals Club, falling for a stunning type-A brunette, all to finally understand that the success of his life isn't defined by a girl, a social club, or even a Harvard degree. Instead, happiness is about accepting yourself.

Advance Praise
”Eric Kester has written the kind of book I wish I had the courage and insight to write. His illuminations on everything from Larry Summers to the Harvard football team to cheating, tourists, and competitiveness are dead-on. His writing has also provided me with some of the best laugh-out-loud moments I’ve had in recent years. God knows Harvard could use some humor!”
