    With a drink in one hand and her newly-earned degree in the other, Alida Nugent thought she was ready to trade in all-night studying and parties for the real world. She found, though, that the post-graduate life didn’t offer much of the glamor she had imagined. In a pile of bills, laundry, and three-dollar bottles of wine, it was suddenly obvious that she had no idea what she was doing. Maybe no twenty-something does. Nugent shares her experience making the awkward journey from undergrad to “mature and responsible adult that definitely never eats peanut butter straight from the jar and considers it a meal” in this snarky, heart-felt memoir.
