Nothing about this guide for university is AWFUL, but I definitely wouldn't spend money on it, as you can find almost all of this advice for free online.

So um clearly My Dad saw me struggling at Uni... Jk😭 He brought me this for Christmas, and I fancied a quick read but ended up finishing it the same day, lol.
This book isn't bad it's just meh. I suppose it does make a good pocket guide, but most of the things I already knew about. There were some quite handy life hacks included, though. As well as recipes, I'm excited to try.
I liked the tone of the Author, it wasn't patronising, which can come across in some books. I liked the easy layout/format, which made it easy to read. Although there wasn't any stimulation for visual imagery. Or any colour, just black and white, which I think would've improved the book. I rated it 3☆ because there was some genuinely good advice included, just not as visually pleasing as I'd hoped.
What I will say, though, on a positive note, is there were a few drinking games included, which I've never heard of before! Will be interesting to try these out, lol.
