ABOUT THIS BLOG
What is Department of Adulting?
Department of Adulting was developed because of a common frustration: when I learn something new that’s important for my actual life, I wish someone had taught it to me earlier. If only there was a manual for adulting, I’ve often thought, a one-stop shop for learning how to improve the health of my finances, body, mind, and relationships. Department of Adulting was created to be a funny, accessible, interesting resource for 20- and 30-somethings for learning all those things you wish people had taught you in school.
It was created by me (Christine!) a social science researcher, data analyst, runner, climber, and insatiable learner. If you’re interested in learning more about me, check out the Origin Story.
