Download or read book Adulting 101 written by Lisa Henry and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The struggle is real. Nick Stahlnecker is eighteen and not ready to grow up yet. He has a summer job, a case of existential panic, and a hopeless crush on the unattainable Jai Hazenbrook. Except how do you know that your coworker's unattainable unless you ask to blow him in the porta-potty? That's probably not what Dad meant when he said Nick should act more like an adult. Twenty-five-year-old Jai is back in his hometown of Franklin, Ohio, just long enough to earn the money to get the hell out again. His long-term goal of seeing more of the world is worth the short-term pain of living in his mother's basement, but only barely. Meeting Nick doesn't fit in with Jai's plans at all, but, as Jai soon learns, you don't have to travel halfway around the world to have the adventure of a lifetime. This is not a summer romance. This is a summer friendship-with-benefits. It's got pizza with disgusting toppings, Netflix and chill, and accidental exhibitionism. That's all. There are no feelings here. None. Shut up.

Download or read book Your Turn written by Julie Lythcott-Haims and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Julie Lythcott-Haims is back with a groundbreakingly frank guide to being a grown-up What does it mean to be an adult? In the twentieth century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Since then, every generation has been held to those same markers. Yet so much has changed about the world and living in it since that sequence was formulated. All of those markers are choices, and they’re all valid, but any one person’s choices along those lines do not make them more or less an adult. A former Stanford dean of freshmen and undergraduate advising and author of the perennial bestseller How to Raise an Adult and of the lauded memoir Real American, Julie Lythcott-Haims has encountered hundreds of twentysomethings (and thirtysomethings, too), who, faced with those markers, feel they’re just playing the part of “adult,” while struggling with anxiety, stress, and general unease. In Your Turn, Julie offers compassion, personal experience, and practical strategies for living a more authentic adulthood, as well as inspiration through interviews with dozens of voices from the rich diversity of the human population who have successfully launched their adult lives. Being an adult, it turns out, is not about any particular checklist; it is, instead, a process, one you can get progressively better at over time—becoming more comfortable with uncertainty and gaining the knowhow to keep going. Once you begin to practice it, being an adult becomes the most complicated yet also the most abundantly rewarding and natural thing. And Julie Lythcott-Haims is here to help readers take their turn.

Download or read book Adulting 101 written by Erin Clark and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why didn't anyone tell me this?" was something I said to myself over and over in my early and mid twenties. Despite going through a good school system and being college educated, I was frustrated time and time again because there were so many "adult" things that I simply didn't know how to do, or had to learn to do the hard way. I realized that I wasn't alone in this struggle. Most of my milenial friends didn't know how to save money, grocery shop properly, manage time or just be prepared for life as an adult. I realized though, that despite what older generations think, and despite what some media tells us, our generation is not lazy. We are not stupid, we were simply not taught many of those basic life skills. Many of us can tell you the pythagorean theorem, but are totally lost when it comes to filing our taxes. Or we can recite from memory "oh captain, my captain" but know nothing about insurance. So I took what I had learned, added in personal life lessons, asked some experts and the result is "Adulting 101: the things they don't teach you." You can use this as a tool for success, or simply learn what not to do from my experiences. Either way, enjoy the journey!
