Woodinville High School – Yyn890– “Adulting” 101: A Life Planning Course

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

The course would be broken up into 3 units. Senior “Adulting” and Life Planning Class is a course offered in order to prepare seniors (and juniors) for the next phase of life. Let’s face it, “adulting” can be difficult in 21st Century America, and this next chapter of life can feel, well, a bit daunting! However, this anxiety can be diffused with just a little planning and foresight. The course objective is to provide units of study around what is needed to “adult” well, and to end the course with a plan for the life ahead. The course would be a semester-long elective. The units would be as follows: Unit 1–College life planning--Including aptitude testing, research — 3 career interests--Ending in an internship. Unit 2–Life planning--What is a financial plan, and how to implement it--including how to pay taxes. We will also delve into what makes people happy (in 21st century), mindfulness and exercise, etc. Unit 3–Interpersonal Relationships--What does good communication look like?! What makes for a healthy marriage, parenting, and even what a healthy single life looks like. The course would end with a presentation—A solid plan for the next year of life.
