Toni Buxton Offers Freshmen The Secret to Your College Success
(PRWEB) May 5, 2002
Nearly everyone who goes to college makes dozens of “freshman blunders.” Many of these could have been avoided if they had someone to point them in the right direction. These blunders run the gamut from money woes to weight issues to dealing with professors and working the system to your best advantage.
Coming upon her ten year reunion, Gulf High School graduate Toni Buxton published her words of wisdom for incoming college freshmen in the form of a book entitled, The Secret to Your College Success: 101 Ways to Make the Most of Your College Experience. Based on her experience as a student at a number of universities, as well as a Graduate Teaching Assistant and Adjunct Professor, Buxton first compiled the list to give to her students. “I had dozens of students ask me how to handle other professors, money crises, financial aid matter, and other important issues that were important to them as beginning college students. Those experiences demonstrated the need many college students have for information from someone who is close to them in age and experience,” Buxton explained.
The Secret to Your College Success: 101 Ways to Make the Most of Your College Experience answers the questions most asked by college students. The book tackles serious issues like money management, health, and safety in a lighthearted manner. Other issues addressed by Buxton include how to handle an unfair professor, maintaining ones sanity during college, and what to do during college to ensure you get a great job after college. This book provides college students, both incoming and returning, advice “from the trenches” about avoiding these pitfalls to make their college years truly memorable.
A third-time graduate student, Toni Buxton has attended Florida State University, the University of Texas at Austin and is currently attending the University of Central Florida. Buxton taught communication courses as a graduate student at the University of Central Florida, and as an Adjunct Professor at St. Petersburg Junior College.
