The 20-Something’s Guide To Becoming A ‘Real’ Adult

By Swirled 01/01/18

There are some things they just don’t teach you in college.

From first jobs to first apartments, figuring out life in your 20s can be tough. Unfortunately, “Adulting 101” class isn’t required for you to graduate from college, so much of it tends to be learned in the moment rather than in advance.

Get ready to understand the key to picking the right health care plan, learn to cook quick-and-easy meals and more. Don’t worry — we didn’t learn any of this stuff before receiving our diplomas, either. But with a few helpful tips and tricks, you’ll be brunching on weekends, hitting the barre studio and still tackling those must-dos that come with being an independent adult in no time.
