Even though the main character, Mickey, is a college freshmen, this publication is considered immature adult. He is not yet of adult age, and he deals with the same aspects young adults execute in those transitional years. Finding who he is and what he wants to be is a key aspect in a immature adult&#;s life.

The only difficulty is that sometimes depression gets in the way, and that can produce him to concern about nothing at all.
