1. Some basic knowledge about student loans

When I was picking out where I wanted to attend university, the thought of student loans never even crossed my mind. I was so focused on the next four years and getting in somewhere, that I didn't think beyond college graduation. To add to this point, my guidance counselors also pushed for me to go to the absolute best college that I could get in to. This came with a price tag. I believe it is a public school's duty to educate incoming seniors on student loans and urge them to have a talk with their parents or guardians about this topic as well.

2. Digital etiquette

This one is huge, especially for my generation. I believe public schools should teach their students how to write appropriate emails to their professors, set up a linked in, and make students aware of how important it is to present the best version of yourself on digital media, whether that be social media or through communication with superiors. I have witnessed so many of my friends email professors asking to raise their grade or an extension on a paper but did not word the email correctly and were simply denied.

3. How to have thick skin

The reality is, it's a tough world out there, and I feel as though a lot of our teachers baby us. When our teachers give us an answer we don't like, our parents step in and fix everything. This is so beyond the point of wrong. Mom and Dad can't fix everything. There comes a point in your life where you will just need to figure it out without Mom or Dad's help. Our schools need to stop babying us and give us tools to thicken our skin and strengthen our minds.
