The story so far
Started because of one bad month, not a business plan.
Offsyllabus began as a shared doc of "things I wish someone told me" between three classmates after a rough semester of overdrawn accounts, missed deadlines, and one very avoidable argument with a project partner.
What we believe
Small, specific, and finishable
Most "life skills" content online is either a 40-minute YouTube video or a 200-page finance book. Neither fits between two lectures. So every module here is scoped to one scenario and one action, meant to be finished in the time it takes to wait for a canteen order.
We're not experts. We're students who read the actual research, tried it on ourselves first, and only kept what held up.
