Young/Middle/Late Adulthood: Section 1-19 to 22 years
WEEK FIVE
19 years = 4 Points
1. What are some behaviors or choices that you have a tendency to do (habits, perceptions, stress or
other health-detrimental aspects of your life) that you might need to work on? How might these serve
as obstacles to later life success?
I tend to not think about money so much and make some bad decisions in regards to finances. Instead of
staying home and getting an associate’s degree first, I decided to do a year at a community college and
then go away to school and live off-campus in a house with some friends. Down the road, I am going to
really understand the value of a dollar when I am struggling for money based off of my financial
decisions as a young adult. It will take a while to pay off debt, even while working and attending school
at the same time. I also chose to go on vacation with my family because family is super important to me.
I understand that life is short, and that it is extremely important to spend as much time as possible with
family. This being said, I do not regret the decision to go on the summer vacation with my family, but it
may add onto my financial hardships down the road. For example, because of all of these decisions,
when I want to buy a house of my own or a new car, I might struggle with making a decent down
payment, I might have a high interest rate, or I might get denied. It will be hard to pay off school and
make payments on a house or a car because of the decisions I made early on regarding money.

2. What kinds of social behaviors in your pre-college days do you see as related to the behaviors you
display now, in college? Make a list of "good behaviors" and "bad behaviors". Do these map onto
"good outcomes" and "bad outcomes?" How or why?
Pre-college I partied, and didn’t care too much about my grades as I had already gotten accepted into
the schools I wanted to go to. I didn’t let my grades slip too low, but they could have been better had I
stayed home more often and studied. I was very serious about my body image pre-college. I did my hair
and makeup every day before high school and tried dressing nice. Part of this was because I was a
cheerleader, and I wanted to feel good about myself. I ate right, and exercised, and was in incredible
shape. I also let myself get consumed with one guy in particular and that took over my life. I started
changing and just let him control me.
My pre-college party days turned out to actually have good outcomes because I got a lot of my partying
out of my system before it really mattered. When I started college and when I eventually went away, I
still partied every once in a while, but my grades always came first. If I had a homework or studying to
do, I would make sure that was all done before I went out for the night. If I had a ton of stuff to do, I
would pass and stay back to study and do homework. I still worry about my appearance because that is
how I’ve always been (and that was only a few years ago as I’m only 22 now), and I think that also had a
good outcome because I am a very healthy person because of it. I make sure I work out as often as I can
and I try to eat right as well so I like the way I look; thus, making me healthy. Finally, I dated the guy I let
control my life for about 4 years. He was controlling the entire time and I eventually fell into a pretty bad
depression and was put on mood stabilizers and antidepressants because of it. The outcome was bad at
first because I let him control me for so long and agreed to move in with him and live with him for a year
