Why smart... yet clueless?

So, you're pretty smart.

Okay, maybe you're really smart. Maybe you invented Blogger before Google bought it. Or maybe you invented blogging itself. Whatever.

Maybe you went to a good college. Maybe you will soon go to a great college. You're well educated.

But if you're between the ages of 15 and 25, you either have realized or will realize the following soon: no matter what your IQ and how rigorous your courseload, some things will catch you absolutely off-guard the moment you step out of that campus bubble.

Your problems may be small, or they may be big; regardless of their nature, many of them will probably be unexpected.

That's where I come in. In some ways, I've learned more in the past two years after college than all four years during. I don't have all of the answers -- hell, I probably don't have most of them -- but what I do know is how I've been able to deal with the issues I've faced so far.

I'll offer my thoughts when I have them, and I hope you'll offer yours, too. Perhaps together, we'll be able to crack the confusion that is being in your 20s in the 2010s.

Figuring out your place a new media universe? Or just sick of living with horrible roommate after horrible roommate? This is your outlet.
