Find out why the best grad gift is not a tablet, a smartphone or an app!
College students today are working college students, trying to balance class work with a work schedule, a social life, their health and wellness, housing, a vehicle and more. They are feeling overwhelmed with all the extra stuff that suddenly comes along with being an adult.
How can you help your young adult cope? “Give them the proper tools – not just the latest digital device,” says Susan M. Sparks, mother of two and author of The Student Life Jacket, The Easy-to-Use Guide to Staying Afloat in a Sea of Paperwork for Young Working Adults and College Students.
Susan noticed that her son had papers he couldn’t manage with a computer or smartphone app. There were piles of receipts, pay stubs and other paperwork littering the top of his dresser, his desk and the floor. They were both frustrated when he missed payments or incurred late fees.
It was an unplugged solution that tipped the scale, a combination of how-to and where-to store it that gave him the confidence, independence and success in managing his bills and other important papers.
She knew it needed to be easy to follow; flexible, and explanatory, or her son wouldn’t use it. The result is an organizer with a slice of motherly advice on everything from storing original documents to living with difficult roommates to the importance of thank you notes. 
If you’ve ever worried that your young adult was not ready to navigate those rough waters as they transition from high school to college and beyond, The Student Life Jacket is your best unplugged solution.
Some of the tools from The Student Life Jacket, include how to manage money and balancing work, school and social life. Susan developed the organizational strategies as a military spouse moving around the world and translated them into easy organization steps for young adults.
