College isn’t really for such things. Those are life skills generally passed down from parent to child but many parents are lacking in such skills themselves these days. Still college is not a replacement for them. College is for career preparation and higher learning, high school is more for the basic skills regarded in this article. That is why many high schools are starting to teach classes on how to manage money and do your taxes. They already have skill teaching classes such as home economics and parenting classes.
It is good to recognize such shortcomings because then you know what your next goal is. Even though the author might already be out of high school and college there are still many community programs that offer classes for such skills. There is not much to worry about because there is help wherever you look from either your parents, school, or the community.
No one is ever really ready for adulthood, some people never even grow up. At first you will have to rely on people as you are learning the ropes but eventually, without even realize it, you will be able to do it on your own. Just don’t freak out or overreact because that often makes things worse. As long as you have drive and discipline you will be fine but don’t blame others for what you lack because then you will be treating yourself as a victim and nothing good will come of it. Being an adult doesn’t mean you have all the answers, it just means you have to start being more self sufficient and learn the rest as you go.
