I'm excited to begin a new blogging adventure with Psychology Today! I plan to focus this new On Track blog on issues of Young Adulthood including school, work, love, and family, what it means to be an adult, and how we make the leap into adulthood. That just about covers everything! I aim to build bridges between popular media and academic research in this burgeoning field. Google "young adulthood" or "becoming an adult" and you'll find plenty of opinions. Why not let research weigh in too?

I hope this blog is a source of useful information and commentary for young adults and the people who love them. Please feel free to send me questions. On occasion, I'll invite guest student-bloggers from my developmental psychology classes for perspectives from the front lines of the transition to adulthood!
