Aimed at young adults/first time out of home

It was fairly basic overall, probably some good content there if you have no idea where you should start or the types of things you may encounter or want to be aware of, but it didn’t really cover the depth/etc that I was hoping it might.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
