Description
The school system does not require a class for students to learn how to live in the real world and function as an adult. We often enter college unprepared to take care of ourselves. Many life skills, including how to develop good habits, manage stress, pay taxes, budget our spending/income, and to live a healthy lifestyle, are necessary, especially when college is the bridge to adulthood. This course will explore the many dimensions of how to successfully adult.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who has the willingness to strengthen a set of skill sets for a well-rounded life. Specific lectures will be geared towards high-schoolers, college students, and young adults.
