Welcome to my blog.
The aim of it, is basically to discuss, teach and ponder all the skills, issues and potential road blocks that come with being a grown up.
I have always felt, that whilst school instilled some valuable knowledge into our minds, it also seemed to seriously skip over numerous skills and important lessons that were vital for us to learn, to become proper, successful adults.
Whilst we were learning how to find the measurements of a triangle using signs and degrees, those of us who had no interest in becoming builders or engineers, could have been learning how to pay taxes, bills, rent, university fees, fines, and toll fees.
Whilst we were learning about nautical miles, and boat navigation, those of us who were not pursuing the sailor profession, could have been learning how to iron, how to use a washing machine, how to hang out clothes on a washing line and how to colour co-ordinate washes so we don't turn all our white shirts, pink!
Whilst they were teaching us poetry, those of us who weren't into 17th century language, could have been learning how to rent a house, how to get a loan, how to set up a credit card, how to apply for insurance, how to write a will or how the countries political system works.
So if you feel as though you have been brutally shoved out of the carefree, peaceful and enjoyable bubble that was adolescence, and are now stumbling into this new scary world, full of commitments, and deadlines and rules, without any useful skills or guidance to help you through-
Don't worry, you may have come to the right place.
