How long has it been since that fateful night? Or the other fateful night? Or the other? Ah, it's not all so bad. Surprisingly, I'm still alive. That's gotta count for something. An angsty, yet overconfident undergraduate. A writer looking for a novel to write. Go to school, get a degree, get a job, buy a car, buy a house, go to church, get married, have kids, die. To many these are desirable goals that seem simple enough to attain. For others, the sacrifices that are necessary to obtain them are far too great. In this campus novel, we follow the experiences of Piers, an arrogant, type-A student (some might say he's a neurotic in denial) who recounts his years as a university undergraduate eager to tick off the boxes of his goal checklist. In time he will learn the futility of making big plans... Watch as he grapples with the start of his journey and the ambition to see the end of it against the backdrop of the Rio Grande. The challenges of academic rigors intertwine with the complexities of forging new friendships in a town where cultural diversity thrives. The campus and it's eccentric professors add unexpected twists to Pier's academic journey which turns out to be about more than just textbooks and lectures-it's about self-discovery and the bonds that last a lifetime in the furthest corner of the Lone Star State. Between lectures, lovers, and a lot of rhetorical questions, come learn about the tumultuous realities of the college experience through a different lens of the Hispanic milieu. Whether you're an alumnus reminiscing about your own college days or a prospective student peering into the future, Pier's story will remind you that a college education is indispensable far beyond the confines of the job market.
