In today’s world, young adults face unique challenges. Legally, you are allowed to vote, and if you’re at least 21, you can now buy alcohol at the store. Still, you may not have the life experience that that you would like to make the best choices for yourself.
What are the challenges young adults face?

- Create an identity which is not imposed on you by other’s expectations – like peer pressure or family expectations
- Establish close post college relationships
- Excel at a wide variety of activities
- Find a partner or build a family

- Get the highest grades possible in high school and college
- Graduate with honors
- Manage drug or alcohol use, often from peer pressure
- Navigate parental relationships
- Pay down significant debt
- Pick a career
