VP Gems: Adolescence

Welcome back to our newly-resurrected VP Gems feature, in which we give the  Hoodie Allen lyric “Take you to Van Pelt/You become Van Wilder” some real meaning.

If you need some light reading for Thanksgiving Break, we’ve got you covered – especially if you’re still stuck at the kids' table. Swing by the glamorous, oh-so-chic, randomly-selected  HQ 760 B62 – HQ 796 H93 stack on the fourth floor of Van Pelt to check out UTB’s recommendations for some fine literature that will truly bring you back to your childhood. Call numbers included so you can head over and reserve your favorite!

My Son Is An Alien (call no. HQ 796 D248): Pretty much what your parents will think as soon as you get home on Wednesday night.

Adolescence (call no. HQ 796 A3) and Future Choices (call no. HQ 796 F887): We are not quite sure which of these is more terrifying.

Youth, Pornography, and the Internet (call no. HQ 784 I58 Y68): If you wanna know what you'll be missing in that class about wasting time on the internet.

Seduction of the Innocent (call no. HQ 784 C6 W4): Perhaps the sequel to Youth, Pornography, and the Internet?

I Am an Emotional Creature (call no. HQ 777 E57): This is how we feel when we spend more than a few hours in VP.

Children Taken Seriously (call no. HQ 792 A85 C49): Oh, you mean something like this?

GOTH: Identity, Style, and Subculture (call no. HQ 796 H62): Finally, the oracular HQ 760 B62 – HQ 796 H93 stack reminds us that no matter how hard we try, we'll always face the nagging shame that we liked Bring Me The Horizon in seventh grade.

Find anything that catches your eye? We sure did. Happy reading!
