The last time the thought popped was yesterday night, when I found out that our electricity bill is extremely large than it is supposed to be. So while walking like a ghost in the apartment on 1am while trying to forget about my insomnia, I found out that there are small letters in the bill that says the bottom line it is an "estimation" of our electricity usage (only it's a *7 one).
So, why are there colleges who teach about financial investments, raising babies and so on, but they don't teach you how to be a grown up?
I thought about these subjects as a basic discussion for a curriculum:
- How to deal with bureaucracy.
- Taxes.
- Contracts (work, rental, etc.).
- Fixing stuff in the apartment (such as blocked sink).
- Paying bills.
- Handling car issues (tests, bills, fixing basic problems).

Like most common knowledge in life, you are expected to either learn it from your parents and friends, or figure it out yourself.
Up until a few decades ago, it was even very reasonable.

(but according to their press page, it's "i'm a woman without a man nearby" college).
