How did you become an adult? Any advice to impart?

How did you get your first job? Apartment/house? Dating?

I ask because I really only did so after years of bouncing around from colleges, summer abroad programs, living with friends, and really just use Zillow or StreetEasy to look.

(I also ask because I want a distraction from the world that isn't entertainment or documentary/non-fiction and often daydream about what things I could have done different had I known things - real life skills - earlier.)
