…if you consider a scanty readership and endless weekday midnights in my dad’s kitchen writing about refrigerator mold a saga.

Saga, it was not. Undiscovered gem, perhaps.

Attention all students, prospective collegiates and wayward Internet lurkers.

Welcome to your brand, spankin’ new daily dose of college life: A Shot of College.

Hi. I’m Lisa Rau.

Four years of college having flown by me like a Boeing 747 on a half-ton of Red Bull, I’ve crash-landed here at Yollege, hell-bent on offering you a bit more character and insight into this oh-so-poignant chapter of your life (sans a literary analysis on that 400-page Russian novel that was due last Thursday. Seriously, you should get on that.).

I’ll be here every day, giving you a taste of college living, one shot at a time. Part-time jobs? Pontificating professors? Pompous parties that don’t let you in if you show up with too many dudes? Let’s hash it out.

Hell, maybe I’ll inspire you. Maybe I’ll make you laugh. Maybe I’ll irk you to tears, making you rip up term papers one at a time, wishing you hadn’t wasted the majority of your academic career groaning about your major. Whatever it is, let’s keep you coming back for more.
