By seizing all the wonderful opportunities, both inside and outside the classroom, you can make your college years the rich and life-changing experience you’ve always dreamed of. But you need a plan, an approach, and some perspective. From your dorm room to your classroom, Carpe College! has you covered. Whether it’s planning your week, poppin’ in to see your professor, or partying like you know what you’re doing, with this book you’ll know you have what it takes to truly seize your college experience!

So, what the heck is Carpe College!?

Well, it’s certainly not a perfect Latin translation because that would mean ‘Seize the College!’ and inciting riots won’t get any of us anywhere. So let’s simply settle on a fast and loose translation: ‘Seize the college experience (in its entirety).’

Carpe College! is an idea. An approach. An M.O. A habit. A way of embracing everything college life throws your way – academics and the rest – and doing so with vigor. Or, as President Kennedy would have said, “with VIGAH!” It’s also an exploration, a continual experiment, a series of tests and trials and the dipping of many toes into many different waters in an attempt to uncover who you are and how you fit… with others… with the world at large… with your own notion of who you’d like to become.

About the Author

After a roller-coaster undergraduate experience, a couple of masters degrees and an uninspiring advertising career, Mike Metzler ventured into teaching, where he has found his bliss and earned praise from every corner. Now, having taught nearly two decades of high school and college combined, Mike has learned a few things about the challenging transition from high school to college life, and he's eager to share his insights in Carpe College!.

A native Chicagoan, Mike picked up stakes and spent seven years on a Minnesota farm while his kids were younger. Now his family resides in upstate New York, where Mike teaches, plays pick-up hoops, guitar, and baseball for old(er) guys. Oh yeah... and he invented a drink called the "Grape & Granny."

What Mike's students have said....

"Metzler loves his job, and it really shows."

"Thank you for being the best teacher I've ever had!"

"There are few people who really get through to stubborn, obstinate, annoying, frightened teenagers; you got through to me."

"You are a teacher we will all remember forever."

"You have truly been an inspiration to me. I will never forget you."

"You made learning fun, different, enlightening, and treated us like adults."

"Mr. Metzler is the reason I'm alive. This hero truly saved my life."

"Thank you for encouraging us to reach outside ourselves and explore."

"In my list of inspiring educators, his name is at the top."

"He really makes us think for ourselves."

"I feel better knowing there's a teacher like him."

"I am a life that was changed."

"Until I stepped into your class, I was taught 'the one right point of view' and just accepted what I was told."

"I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to know you and learn from you."

"Your class was a tough one, but only because you would never let us sell ourselves short of what you knew we had."

"You accepted nothing but our hardest efforts."

"You encouraged me to reach beyond my limits."

"I am a better person having known you."

"A teacher who dares to change 'the way it is' and always believes in us students."

"I have always looked forward to coming to your class."

"You have been the most intriguing teacher - my all-time favorite - no lie!"

"You taught me to be excited when my thoughts differ from others.
