Know how to say no and know what you’re capable of. People say yes far too often, so if you’re feeling insufficient or unhappy, stop saying yes and start saying no.

So, with this newfound independence comes a lot of responsibility, and it can be hard to manage your spending. This is where budgeting comes into play. Whether endless funds are still supplied by your parents or you pay for everything on your own dime, budgeting is an important skill…

High school students imagine themselves overpacking boxes of their stuff into the car they learned to drive in to take with them to college like the end scene of a coming-of-age film. And in the same way that real life doesn’t work out the same way as movies, leaving for college doesn’t need to be accompanied by your old beat car. You don’t really need a car when you live on campus. Since freshmen are required to live on campus, a car would get in the way of making the most of their first year. Living on campus, you are…
