[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a college prof, and this is what I'd recommend based upon my work with undergrads: 1) Time management--how to work backwards from the time you need to be there/deadline 2) Public transportation--where to get a Metro card, how to refill it, how to hold onto it, how to transfer, how to read a map 3) Anticipation--can you anticipate needs (food, clothing, transit)? events? accidents? 4) Prioritizing sleep, healthy eating, and wellness. It's OK to not stay out until 3am. It's OK to listen to your body. 5) Reading a real newspaper--what is news, what is an op-ed/opinion piece, what is an ad 6) Budgeting--including paying taxes, saving for retirement, saving for emergencies, paying bills on time, setting up a credit record 7) Cleanliness--how often wash sheets, vacuum, do laundry, dishes, etc. 8) Cooking--basic meals, pantry items to have on hand, tossing food out when it goes bad[/quote] Good ones![/quote]
