The Ultimate Guide for Twentysomethings
From how to make friends to what you need in an adult kitchen, Teen Vogue's Twentysomething Guide is your go-to resource for the more confusing parts of going out on your own.
Most high school students spend so much time racing to the graduation finish line and preparing for college, they aren't left with much energy to stop and think about the more mundane aspects of becoming an adult. So much of life in your 20s is trial and error, but what if it doesn't have to be?
Teen Vogue's Twentysomethings Guide has the answers to many of your questions about housing, friendship, dating, and style. You know you'll need credit, but how do you actually build a credit history in a responsible way? When you finally get a job offer, how do you negotiate a salary? How do you build a sustainable capsule wardrobe for your new life without breaking the bank? What are the hard-won lessons about dating in your 20s that could help you make the most of romantic relationships (and your time being single) during this decade. Now that your teenage years are in the rearview mirror, how do you have a healthy adult relationship with your parents?
For this package our writers have spoken with experts and people who have survived this season in their lives to help you better navigate your 20s.
