At the young age of 19, I can't even answer all of these.

30 Life Questions You Should Be Asking
Wordpress

We all know that as soon as we get out of high school, we aren’t fully prepared to live on our own quite yet, so I’ve come up with some questions that I think we should ask before we can fully become adults. Now, I’m not saying that I’m clueless about everything that’s on the list, but knowing the answers to these questions could be very helpful later.

  1. What is a mortgage?
  2. How much do cars cost?
  3. How much does insurance cost?
  4. How do I do my taxes?
  5. How do I install my TV stand?
  6. What are the differences between screwdrivers?
  7. How do I make coffee?
  8. What does this switch by the sink do?
  9. How much laundry soap do I use?
  10. How much does my cell phone plan cost?
  11. How much should I tip our waiter/waitress?
  12. How do I pay my bills?
  13. What does a credit card do to my credit score?
  14. What’s that funky noise my car is making?
  15. Should I get a roommate?
  16. Can I live off of ramen noodles?
  17. When should I buy new clothes?
  18. Should I buy this new purse?
  19. Should I buy this new tie?
  20. When should I mow my yard?
  21. How often do I need a new toothbrush?
  22. When should I buy a new laptop?
  23. Should I spend my money on this?
  24. Should I trust eBay?
  25. I should bring a jacket, right?
  26. What does APR mean?
  27. How often do I need a new license plate?
  28. How long are eggs good after the date listed on the package?
  29. Should I start a garden?
  30. What is this noise my toilet is making?

Hopefully after these questions, you’ll find which ones you don’t know the answers to, and find those answers. And I expect that you’ll be better off in life with these questioned fulfilled.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
