Category: Adulting

All set to grow up? Then you’re about to start adulting, the next phase of life where things feel much the same – and yet also completely different. Suddenly, you no longer have to deal with school, term papers, nasty group projects, and deadlines… but that doesn’t mean you’re out of the woods.

You’ve got a lot more to deal with now that you’re here.

It’s not easy when you’re suddenly independent. You can’t fall back on your parents anymore – that’s just not the way of the world – but you have to keep going forward, whether it’s building a career or eventually building your own family. (BTO fans, raise your hands!)

Deal with money matters, work-life balance, and other issues that school might not have prepared you for. And don’t worry, we’ve got your back! Don’t sweat it, don’t hit the panic button so quickly, and dig into our advice and blogposts.
