With a glass or two in one hand and her newly-earned degree in the other, Alida Nugent thought she was prepared to trade in all-night studying and celebrations for the real world. She found, though, that this post-graduate life didn’t offer a lot of the glamor she got imagined. Within a pile of expenses, laundry, and three-dollar bottles of wine, it was all of a sudden obvious that she acquired no idea what she was performing. Maybe no twenty-something does. Nugent shares her experience making the awkward journey from undergrad to “older and responsible adult that certainly by no means eats peanut butter right from the jar and considers it a meal” within this snarky, heart-felt memoir.
