1. Balancing a checkbook

I'm not even sure if this is necessary, but it sure is something I see my mom do often? That should say it all if one doesn't even know if it required or not, but it also makes you sound responsible in my book.

2. Writing a check

Yes it is decently self explanatory... however, that doesn't mean I didn't mess up not once but twice when writing my first check!

3. How to do your taxes

Do you go to H & R block? Is turbo tax sufficient enough? Also, no one even mentions to tell us to keep track of school related expenses to claim (or how to even claim them).

4. Changing your oil/a tire

Yes yes triple A is a must now, but that doesn't mean we should be 100% clueless when it comes to basic car maintenance. While its easy to drive in and have someone do it for you, does not mean we shouldn't be aware of how to take care of our most important means of transportation.

5. Credit card etiquette 

Most young adults are totally unaware of how to and that they should be building credit. Credit cards are not the devil like most will try and tell you. HOWEVER, understanding the basic ways to navigate them is essential, and once again this is taught to us no where.

6. Tying a tie

Note to all males ever: CLIP ON TIES ARE NOT COOL PAST AGE 12

But also, ladies: know how to tie a tie for your man, they could use all the help they can get sometimes

7. Cooking basic meals

Maybe I'm the only one who is illiterate in the kitchen.... and yes I know that they have cooking classes in high school, but those are never taken seriously. People wonder why freshman 15 is a thing? It's because all we know is the McDonald's dollar menu and that you can order pizza with a click of a button online.
