Download or read book The Freshman Fabulous written by Jess Ekstrom and published by Headbands of Hope. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Freshman Fabulous: The Girl's Guide to College is a humorous, helpful and honest interactive guide written by a recent grad, for the future grad. As a college student, Jess secured an internship all four years with companies like Disney World, Make-A-Wish and the TODAY Show. She gave campus tours every Tuesday and taught fitness classes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. She played intramural coed flag football and got a stage three concussion. As a sophomore, she made it on CNN running the Krispy Kreme Challenge (eating a dozen donuts and then running 5 miles). Her junior year, she ended up starting my own company, Headbands of Hope, which gives headbands to children with cancer. By the time she graduated in May 2013, it was her full-time job and in over 100 stores in the US and Canada. Being fresh out of college, Jess decided to put all of her tips and tricks (and mistakes) into a guide to help others who are about to embark on their college journey. The Freshman Fabulous: The Girl's Guide to College isn't filled with statistics and studies about college. It's filled with real and honest stories and advice from Ekstrom as well as other anecdotes from female grads. Topics range from what to wear on your first day of class, what to do if you fail a test, how to land internships, studying abroad, what to eat (and what not to eat) at the dining halls, dating, what to do when you have roommate troubles, joining clubs, picking electives and important topics like safety on campus and alcohol. One of the most unique parts about this book is the interactive opportunity. Readers will be encouraged to map out their own college career and goals along the way by using helpful guides. This book isn't a "how to book" to live a college experience like Jess did. But rather, a compilation of lessons learned in college. Through this book, readers will be able to use her stories as a foundation to map out their own college journey.

Book excerpt: I started flirting with a guy while waiting for my car to be serviced. Now granted, he wasn't just any guy. Tall. Dark. Hot. Mysterious. Can you blame me for wanting to talk to him? He's in town visiting his parents. So am I. He goes to the same college as I do. Such a coincidence. Almost as if our meeting is destined... But I shouldn't believe in that sort of thing. I am single as a Pringle and always ready to mingle. Until I keep running into Mr. Tall, Dark and Mysterious everywhere I go. Tony Sorrento. Turns out he's on the football team. I mean, I'm not one to chase after a sexy jock but, okay. I'm down. And did I mention he's only a freshman? Our fathers are business rivals, and they forbid us from dating. We need to keep this on the low. Can we remain friendly? Sure. Maybe turn our friendship into friends with benefits? Most definitely. Here's the thing though. I didn't plan on catching feelings for him so quickly. Seems like he's falling pretty hard for me too. Defying our fathers' wishes is only asking for trouble, but is being with Tony worth the risk?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One flicker of hope. That’s all it takes to catapult yourself into the life you’ve always imagined. Success is not born out of skill, school, where we’re from, who we know, or what we scored on the SAT. None of us were born ready. None of us started life knowing how to fly a plane or launch a company or knit a sweater for our dog. But we are born with something more important than skills. We’re born with optimism—the initial seed for success. Optimism fuels the belief that you can be the one to create the good the world needs. But you’ve got to hone it. And practice it. And determine to live from it. In Chasing the Bright Side, Jess Ekstrom shares her own inspirational story of how optimism helped her overcome multiple challenges, and the dynamic ways her mind-set propelled her as a young entrepreneur, international speaker, and philanthropist. Do you have dreams for yourself and the world that are tucked away in your box of somedays? What would happen if today was the day you opened the box? And what if that box was the key to a better tomorrow? Jess’s journey will inspire you embrace the power of optimism in your own life, and help you reimagine your purpose so you create good in the world while fulfilling your own dreams—right where you are.

Download or read book The Fab 5 written by Hannah Harshe and published by America Through Time. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Webber, Rose, Howard, Jackson, King. Five names. Five players who epitomize the greatness of Michigan basketball. Five players who helped set a game on its head, and who revolutionized how players dressed, talked, played, and competed. Yet, aside from a photo archive and some stored banners, one would be hard-pressed to find any information on the Michigan Fab Five. Through painstaking research, two turbulent years of NCAA basketball come to life, told through the lens of perhaps the greatest recruiting class to ever suit up for one college basketball program: the Michigan Fab 5. The crown jewel of Steve Fisher's long and storied coaching career, the five talents came from Michigan, Texas, and Illinois. As they converged on Ann Arbor, their undeniable talent ushered in a new era of college basketball. The images--a combination of press materials, memorabilia, and photographs from the Bentley Library archives at the University of Michigan--work in concert with the written words of historians Hannah Harshe and M. Earl Smith to provide a glimpse into the heart and soul of basketball's first modern revolution.
