Question
Assignment 3 – Adulting
Do you feel prepared to enter the world of adulthood? What sorts of skills and habits do you think you need to be a successful, self-sufficient adult?
Make a list of the emotional, academic and daily functioning skills you think adulthood requires.
In “Preparing ‘Emerging Adults’ for College and Beyond,” Alina Tugend writes:
Rachel Ginsberg is a clinical psychologist at the NewYork-Presbyterian Youth Anxiety Center, a research and clinical program that brings together experts from NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia University Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medicine. She is part of its Launching Emerging Adults Program aimed at teenagers and young adults.
Dr. Ginsberg works with clients on lack of emotional readiness and academic and “adulting” skills, as well as on social anxiety — issues that can become more apparent in college and can lead to students’ lives’ unraveling.
So how can a person develop these skills? Below is a list of “exposure tasks” to help students develop strategies for coping with possible challenges and “assertively get their needs met, or manage circumstances that do not go the way that they wished,” Dr. Ginsberg said.
Some of these tasks may seem oddly fundamental, and they aren’t all relevant to everyone. For example, Dr. Ginsberg may ask a perfectionist to turn in an imperfect assignment, she said, “so that they learn to tolerate the anxiety — that it was not so bad after all, that the outcome does not define them and that the incident did not propel catastrophic consequences, as they might have predicted.”
For people wary of speaking to classmates or professors for fear of being embarrassed or judged as stupid, she might suggest that they place an order at a restaurant and then change it.
“These tasks help them validate themselves and not be scared to ask for what they want,” Dr. Ginsberg said. “In essence, these tasks help to shrink anxiety and avoidance down to size.”

Adulthood doesn't magically arrive at age 18 or 21. In general, being grown up indicates that you’ve evolved into a new stage in your life in which you take your career, relationships, and future more seriously. At the very least, you have more concern for your future needs and are no longer as easily persuaded by shallow thrills and aimless meandering. If you are able to maintain long steady relationships,during conflicts can remain calm and handle them intelligently,can come to a conclusion,behave appropiately in a social gathering then you can call yourself an adult.
