Adulthood seems like a necessary and possibly desirable life stage, but HOW exactly does one do it? What are the essentials? Brown steps away from cheerleading and the examination of deep psychological concepts, and instead focusses on the actual skills you need in order to be a tolerably functional, reasonably independent adult.

From Randy's list on building adulthood in your twenties.

Twentysomethings who are looking for a silver bullet will find it here in the form of 535 silver pellets.
