About


Think of this site as your survival guide for life.  Twenty-somethings are constantly graduating from college, only to find themselves running headfirst into that brickwall known as life.  While these people have enjoyed some degree of success before this point, be it in school, their social lives, or elsewhere, they commonly find themselves completely lost.  The sense of comfort and security that college provided fades with each new responsibility that arises and each significant decision that must be made.

This site is meant to provide a small light through the fog that is “adulthood.”  In these pages, we will be collecting tips and guides for many of the common situations that twenty-somethings find themselves faced with.  Here are a few of the types of information you can expect to find:

 

Who Are You?

Who am I?  Do I possess some sort of expertise that allows me to give advice to others?  Do I have all of the answers?  Not even close.  Truth be told, I’m simply another twenty-something trying to handle the transition to adulthood.  I guess you could say this is what makes me an expert:  I’m confronted with these “real world” situations on a daily basis and do my best to manage them.  Essentially, this site consists of the lessons that I would have shared with myself. 

 

Confronting Intelligence?

I know what you’re thinking:  “What’s the deal with the name, Confronting Intelligence?”  When you think about entering the “real world” and transitioning into adulthood, you are basically expected to obtain and maintain a certain level of intelligence.  This intelligence consists of different topics depending on the individual and may include things like:  paying your taxes, obtaining a mortgage and purchasing a home, finding and retaining a job, or, simply, saving money.  This site is about coming face-to-face with that threshold of intelligence and not merely acknowledging it but, rather, confronting it.

 

What If I’m Not a Twenty-Something Anymore?

What about those who can no longer claim to be a “twenty-something?”  Does all of this information no longer apply to them?  If only life were that simple.  In theory, twenty-somethings fresh out of college are the ones suddenly overwhelmed with all of these major decisions and new responsibilities.  In reality, life provides major obstacles irrespective of age. 

To take an example from a potential topic mentioned about:  obtaining a mortgage and purchasing a house.  I’m 28 years old, recently graduated from law school and, even more recently, got married.  I’m hope to get my license to practice law in July of 2009 and, then, obtain an associate position with a law firm.  Based on these facts alone, I feel it’s safe to say I won’t be able to use information on this topic while I’m a “twenty-something.”  Therefore, I may find this information useful irrespective of my age and you should be able to as well.

Also, I’m a strong believer in the age-old saying:  “You’re only as old as you feel.”
