Adulting & Life Lessons

Life after college and growing up: living on your own for the first time, post-graduation change, making extra money, goal setting and New Year resolutions.

The topic also covers money and goals: how she made extra money as a full-time college student, visualizing and achieving New Year resolutions, three resolutions worth adding to your list, a crash course in last-minute gifts, and what it is like to own a hedgehog as a pet while still in school.
