Letters to the Editor: A UC Berkeley class on ‘adulting’ is a sad reflection of our society

To the editor: A class on “adulting”? At UC Berkeley? Come on!

These kids mean to say that they are capable of earning a degree from one of the world’s foremost academic institutions, yet they cannot figure out by themselves how to read a cookbook, get to work on time or how not to outspend their income?

This is one more puzzlement facing this octogenarian in today’s world gone mad. Still, I suppose one shouldn’t expect more from the youth of a society that elected Donald Trump as its leader.

To the editor: How many UC Berkeley students does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: 30.

One screws it in, and the other 29 refer to their notes in “adulting” class to make sure that’s how the guest speaker instructed them on the proper technique.
