Interspersing personal vignettes with lesson-book activities, Roselli lays out a path to college success by promoting social networking and campus placemaking as grounding exercises, among many other actionable steps. From registration and course selection to mental health and self-care, money management, studying, and graduation requirements, Roselli emphasizes the \u201ctransformative power of post-secondary education\u201d to not only reach career goals, but also develop social skills and self-esteem. By treating the college opportunity itself as a vehicle for self-development, he demonstrates how this experience helps one to grow into healthy adulthood.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Editions:<\/h4>\n<p>ISBN: 9781989467367 (paperback). $19.95 CDN, $17.95 USD<br \/>\nPages: 180<br \/>\nPublication date: August 2022<\/p>\n<section><!-- Add div where you would like to see the button or link --><\/section>\n<div class=\"tbm_shop_local\" data-options=\" { 'api_key' : 'Ig2QS4vFSIjfccJNAZQ2EckJi54QknoS', 'product_code' : '9781989467367', 'image' : 'https:\/\/bookmanager.com\/public\/api\/btns\/Shop Local Button@2x.png' }\">\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/bookmanager.com\/public\/api\/tbm-shop-local.js\" ><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Available via your local bookstore,\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chapters.indigo.ca\/en-ca\/books\/hitting-your-stride-achieving-life\/9781989467367-item.html?ikwsec=Books&amp;ikwidx=0#algoliaQueryId=a16aaa7dd4463035cba8b265f9ecffa3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indigo-Chapters<\/a> <\/span>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Hitting-Your-Stride-Achieving-University\/dp\/1989467369\/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1PUA5I4SW192X&amp;keywords=Hitting+your+stride&amp;qid=1661196262&amp;sprefix=hitting+your+strid%2Caps%2C144&amp;sr=8-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Amazon.ca<\/span> <\/a>| <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hitting-Your-Stride-Achieving-University\/dp\/1989467369\/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1SOOQ8OXTQB01&amp;keywords=hitting+your+stride&amp;qid=1661196292&amp;sprefix=hitting+your+strid%2Caps%2C128&amp;sr=8-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Amazon.com<\/span><\/a><br \/>\nDistribution in the UK via Gazelle Book Services<\/p>\n<p>ISBN: 9781989467374 (eBook). $9.99 CDN, $7.99 USD.
