Please note, while this book offers universal tips for college success, its advice is primarily based on American customs and educational systems. Listeners from other backgrounds may need to adapt the guidance to their unique contexts.

Are you worried your high school grad might be diving into college life unprepared? Transitioning to college is exciting, but it comes with challenges—from managing their own schedule to tackling adult responsibilities. Life Skills 101 and College Bound combine to offer a practical guide for conquering both academic and personal challenges.

Healthcare Away from Home: Can they find a doctor near campus, handle emergencies, or navigate their health insurance in a new location?

Balancing Academic and Social Life: Do they know how to prioritize coursework while managing social events and staying on track?

Financial Savvy: Can they budget for textbooks, food, and emergencies? Do they know how to save money using student discounts and campus resources?

Roommate Dynamics: Are they ready to communicate with roommates, handle conflicts, and create a respectful shared space?

Self-Care and Mental Health: Do they understand the importance of mental health and how to access campus support services?

College-Level Academics: Are they prepared for independent learning and able to seek help from professors or tutors?

Career Services and Internships: Do they know how to explore career opportunities and build a professional network from their first year?

This isn’t just a college manual; it’s the ultimate insider’s guide to thriving in college and beyond. Perfect for a high school grad’s going-away suitcase, it provides the tools they need to navigate this new chapter confidently.

Great advice for young adults and their parents

I am a father to children in their early twenties, late teens, and a few that are pre-puberty. I worry about all of them. I was happy to listen to this comprehensive 2 in 1 collection of practical advice for late teens and young adults. There is a ton of great information, and I am going to make it required for my teens, and suggest that my older kids give it a listen, as well.

On a need to know basis; this is a NEED to KNOW!

"Adulting Life Skills" is a refreshing and insightful guide for young adults stepping into the complexities of college life and beyond. This well written guide cleverly combines essential life skills with practical advice, making it an comprehensive resource for anyone transitioning into adulthood. Its not preachy or too Mom sounding.
Lyons captures the essence of the freshman experience with humor and relatability, addressing everything from time management and budgeting to handling relationships and self-care. Her engaging storytelling style makes the content not only informative but also enjoyable to listen to, ensuring that listeners remain engaged throughout.
One of the standout features of this audiobook is Lyon's emphasis on empowerment. She encourages listeners to embrace challenges and view them as opportunities for growth. As she states, “Success is not about being perfect; it’s about being resilient and learning from every experience.” This perspective is particularly valuable for young adults navigating the uncertainties of their first year in college. Sometimes learning what not to do or say is as good as what you should do or say!
Additionally, Lyons offers practical tools and actionable steps, making it easy for listeners to implement the skills discussed. A memorable quote from the book encapsulates this: “Adulting is less about knowing everything and more about being willing to learn and adjust along the way.” This statement serves as a comforting reminder that growth is a continuous journey, and it’s perfectly okay to seek help and ask questions.
Overall, this Audible book is a must-listen for anyone preparing for the transition to college life or adulthood. Whether you’re a parent or a freshman or just looking to refine your life skills, this guide will inspire confidence and provide the tools necessary to thrive.
