Hey Look!\u00a0 Here Are All the \u2018Look it Ups!\u2019
\n<\/i><\/b>
\n<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n

Throughout the book, I peppered you with opportunities (commands?) to \u2018Look It Up!\u2019\u00a0 The intent is to help wean you off any leanings you may have toward passivity.\u00a0 Although you\u2019re entering that time in your life when you need to take control of your own development and LOOK STUFF UP ON YOUR OWN, I\u2019m not going to leave you hanging entirely.<\/p>\n

Of course, you know the web is ever changing and as fickle as a first year college student (Wow! That may have sounded insulting).\u00a0 So, although these links were good and accurate at the time of printing, they may not be by the time you\u2019re reading.\u00a0 So, let me know if you find some bad ones. \u00a0At least you\u2019ll have the general categories and you can LOOK THEM UP!<\/p>\n

More important, this collection of resources should simply be a springboard to vault you further.\u00a0 If you encounter something you don\u2019t understand, look it up.\u00a0 If you\u2019re curious and intrigued by something, explore it in depth.\u00a0 Enough passivity already! (Especially if you\u2019re reading this in the summer with plenty of time on your hands.)\u00a0 Become an active, life-long learner and do your own research, damn it!<\/p>\n

Your Sex Options<\/h3>\n

At the writing of this book, there was a thought-provoking article by Kate Taylor in which the author explored campus sexual relationships through in-depth interviews at Penn University.\u00a0 It\u2019s called \u201cSex on Campus:\u00a0 She Can Play That Game, Too.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
