ABOUT THE AUTHORS

JOSHUA PIVEN graduated from a large Ivy League university in just four-and-a-half years. He owes every-thing to his English professors, who choose to remain anonymous. He is the co-author, with David Borgenicht, of the Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series.

DAVID BORGENICHT has survived dozens of collegiate nightmares, including the one where you wake up naked in the middle of an art history exam for which you haven’t studied. He is the co-author, with Josh Piven, of the Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series.

JENNIFER WORICK graduated from a kick-ass Big 10 school. After surviving pints of peach schnapps and countless walks of shame, she moved on to an illustrious writing career. Among her many books, she is the co-author of the Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Dating & Sex.

BRENDA BROWN is an illustrator and cartoonist whose work has been published in many books and major publications, including The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series, Esquire, Reader’s Digest, USA Weekend, 21st Century Science & Technology, The Saturday Evening Post, The National Enquirer, and many other magazines. Her website is webtoon.com.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Josh Piven thanks all of the experts, for their college knowledge; his parents, for footing the bill for his education; and the cast of the film Animal House, for their inspirational approach to higher learning.

David Borgenicht would like to thank his alma mater and his alma pater; his editors, Jay Schaefer, Steve Mockus, and Melissa Wagner; the entire team at Chronicle Books and Quirk Books; Frances J. Soo Ping Chow; and all the experts who contributed their, er, expertise. He’d also like to apologize for the time he started that food fight, killed the ROTC captain’s horse, slept with the mayor’s daughter, and ruined the big parade at the end of the movie.

Jennifer Worick would like to thank the following people: editor Melissa Wagner; co-authors Dave Borgenicht and Josh Piven, whom she sorely wishes had gone to college with her so they could have helped her research and cram for exams; all of the talented experts; and Sacha Adorno, Brenda Brown, Mindy Brown, Kerry Colburn, Josh Freely, Liesa Goins, Laurel Rivers, Alison Rooney, Jay Schaefer, Frances J. Soo Ping Chow, Ann Wilson, and all of her family and friends. She also thanks her college room-mates—Maria, Donna, Janet, Amy, and Nadine— who helped her through four years with minimal damage to her liver or her sanity.
