This is one of the assignments I got to turn in for my CAPSTONE!!!!!! I really can't believe that I get to do this. And that this is the project that defines my college career. Crazy.

TwentySomeone
For the past to weeks my partner, Danny Kern and I have been trying to prepare for our book study. At least two weeks ago, we selected what we think will be a perfect book for the circumstances, entitled TwentySomeone, co-written by local campus minister and author Doug Serven. Since then we have been patiently waiting for our contact at Westminster Presbyterian Church to notify us as to whether or not the session approved the book as being appropriate for their students.
While we wait, we have met a couple of times to discuss topics and our goals for the study. We met over dinner last week and shared common experiences of our twenties thus far. We found that we had similar struggles which fit appropriately with topics discussed in the book. TwentySomeone sets out to help students, ages 18-34, answer not the typical questions of what are you going to be when you grow up, but who are you going to be. Danny and I feel this is an important idea to bring to young peoples attention at this time in their life. We both wish someone had sat us down to discuss these issues when we were their age.
Meeting to discuss these points of interest has been a great use of what could have been lost time. I feel like we are a lot more focused on the overall goal of leading this discussion. It was also a good time to bond and get in-sinc with one another, which will be vital for the first weeks meeting, which should be happening this coming Wednesday.

Sounds like a good book - that Serven guy has a lot of good things to say.
It is amazing that you get school credit for this project. You should try going to a real university. :)
Looks like a weird book.
