Learn How to Not Suck: My College Story

Whether it was a 62-mile spirit quest hike amid Australia’s southern rainforests or the homemade boat he and his best friend sailed across a northern Minnesota lake, Greg Larson's college mantra, “Push Your Comfort Zones” almost got him killed more than once. Learn How to Not Suck is a college memoir that journeys with Greg Larson, a rambunctious student with a penchant for adventure, through successes and failures that eventually lead him to redemption before commencement, although not in the ways he had hoped for or expected. Follow Greg as he pursues his dreams of being a stand-up comedian, eventually performing twice in front of crowds of more than 700 people and running his own weekly comedy show. Stick with him when he is cut from a Division-III baseball team before transferring schools and earning a scholarship with a Division-I team. Support him even after he immerses himself in the world of Pick-Up Artistry only to become somehow worse with women and fail with all but one. Learn How to Not Suck utilizes these experiences and more as it takes an atypical route to illustrate a well-known but often overlooked point: college is about finding and eventually being yourself, no matter how much you screw up along the way.
