Description
You¿ve waited for this moment your entire life. Being able to come and go as you please, to eat what you want when you want, to listen to your music as loud as you¿d like, and the option of going to Wal-Mart at 3am just because you can. Your mind is filled with excitement, enthusiasm, and anticipation as you grow up and prepare to enter the real world of life. But then it hits you like a ton of bricks¿A Reality Check.The days of choosing between white milk and chocolate milk are replaced by decisions on paying bills, making career decisions, attending college classes, and preparing your taxes. Recess and nap time are distant memories that have now been exchanged for frustrations with your boss, relationship challenges, and the need for health insurance. Pretty exciting, huh? In this humorous and relevant book, Reality Check, author Grant Baldwin helps you navigate both the challenges and opportunities of the real world in a practical and applicable manner. He addresses the real and honest questions that students are asking on issues such as creating a budget, applying for scholarships, dealing with relationships, and finding a career that you¿re passionate about. This is your guide to the Real World.
