What do you need to know to survive college?
Valmont University freshman Hamilton Carr thought that most everything had been covered in the freshmen orientation. Unfortunately, no one told him what to do if he ever found himself waking up in the hospital, soaked in his own pee, and missing his shoes. How does one handle a situation like that with dignity and grace? Find out in this hilarious tale of college misadventures.
Author Devin DeShields combines stories from his own college experiences with anecdotes related by four different friends to create Ham’s adventures. The blend of nonfiction memoirs and fictional characters keeps the writing sharp, witty, and real. It may sound completely insane, but nothing is too strange or shocking to include in The Hammy Grail. Anyone with a frail constitution or aversion to recklessness may be advised to stay away!
For some, Ham’s journey may be a trip back in time. For others, it can serve as a cautionary tale about the dos and don’ts of college life. Feel free to take Ham’s lessons to heart—or throw the book out and make your own mistakes. It’s the mistakes that tend to be the most memorable experiences of all.
