About this listen

You’re Moving Out of Your Parents’ House. Now What?

Worried about stepping into the real world unprepared after high school graduation? Gain the confidence and competence you need with our comprehensive guide to essential life skills for college and beyond.

Life Skills for College – A Practical Guide to Adulting for Teens and Young Adults has everything you need to confidently navigate the most important areas of adulting while sharing the real-life entertaining (and sometimes cringe-worthy) experiences of other young adults.

  • Simplify meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking
  • Learn the basics of budgeting, banking and credit
  • Discover boundaries, belongings and respect for roommates
  • Cover your car care basics
  • Unlock the secrets of resumes, job hunting and freelancing
  • Liberate your laundry skills

These are not skills you can easily figure out by yourself; they’re not taught in school.

Skills are learned abilities, not usually common sense.

We've either all been there or someday will be there... we've moved out of our parents house, gone to the grocery store, and said "now what?" I've definitely been there. Walking down the aisles with my mom on the phone telling me what to get and giving me dinner ideas. Something breaks on my car, now what? Can't pay rent. Now what?

This book is an essential guide to help with adulting and gives fantastic advice that certainly would have come in handy when I was moving out and becoming more of an adult. If you're someone around this age, or even if you know someone who could benefit from this book, I highly recommend it. There's great advice in here!

Wish I had this book when I was younger
