“Half of prospective students want to go to the first school they visit. Everyone wants to go to the first school they drink at.”

This is just a single example of the anecdotes and truisms found in Steve Hofstetter’s first book, “Student Body Shots,” a sarcastic, humorous and very true to life look at the so-called best years of your life.

From moving in, to parties, finals and everything in between, including parents, janitors and security guards, the pages of this brief 99-page book are filled with sarcastic skits describing the basics of what every college student faces in their years away from home.

A 2002 graduate of Columbia University, Hofstetter writes the truth as he sees it, and most of it, if not all, can be related to your own college life. The book includes a foreword by fellow Columbia student, Rider Strong, whom you may know as Sean Hunter from “Boy Meets World,” who has had the unique experience of playing a student on television and actually being one in real life as well.

“Student Body Shots” is a witty look at what we are all going through every day of our expensive, “best four to six years of our lives.” “Student Body Shots” is sponsored as a collegehumor.com book, the sarcastic Web site that college students across the nation go to when they should be studying. This book takes on the Collegehumor.com mentality and shines. Just don’t let your parents read it, or the truth of what really goes on at college may be too much for them.
