Ahhh…the student life! For most, it’s the first glimpse of freedom and what adult life may feel like. Some even go to the extent of  saying  university years were by far the best moments of their lives. Still, most students completely disregard the subtle changes made when more and more responsibilities fall on their shoulders. Where is the next lecture? What are the basics for cooking? How does an insurance actually work?

Sooner than later you, the freshmen, realize that a lot of the skills you require to live by yourself are not actually taught in school! Do not worry. EM has compiled a crash course of vital lessons to ease the shock and surprise you may be feeling at the moment.
