<p>I'm a second semester senior and realized I should probably start planning for it. Any life skills I should learn in the next 6 months?</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>Time management is probably the one you’re going to hear most, and you’re going to DEFINITELY need it. </p>
<p>Also, if you’re a shy person, work on being able to talk to strangers – in college, no one is ever going to spoonfeed you. If you’re having issues with something, you have to find the right person to contact and initiate it. </p>
<p>For classes, it’s helpful to know how to keep track of your grades (most of my professors never hand back papers or update us on grades – if I want to know what I’m getting, I have to scout for my scores). </p>
<p>Learn how to make a budget.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks! Those are definitely all things I need to work on.</p>
<p>Ugh, making a budget 
Ah, well I suppose I should start working on that. How much does the typical college student have to spend on living expenses per month?</p>
