The quarterlife crisis is a term applied to the period of life immediately following the major changes of adolescence, usually ranging from the early twenties to the early thirties. Abu did a post about this on her blog, so I'm gonna give it a try!

Characteristics of quarter-life crisis may include:

-Realizing the pursuits of one's peers are useless (what about if your peers ARE useless? hahaha kidding! But their pursuits? Seems ambitious enough to me.. or maybe it's just the people I mix around with..)
-Confronting their own mortality (Not mine, my parents')
-Watching time slowly take its toll on their parents, only to realize they are next (Oh yeah watch those wrinkles baby!)
-Insecurity regarding the fact that their actions are meaningless (To a certain extent but that never really stops me from trying)
-Insecurity concerning ability to love themselves, let alone another person (Not a problem there!)
-Insecurity regarding present accomplishments (Try, try again..)
-Re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships (Oh yeah, ever since leaving high school..)
-Lack of friendships or romantic relationships, sexual frustration, and involuntary celibacy (Nope not a problem and my celibacy was voluntary too haha!)
-Disappointment with one's job ( I know that's gonna come sooner or later..)
-Nostalgia for university, college, high school or elementary school life ( Erm no.. I'm actually having the best time of my life here in uni.. but I know I WILL long for the days when you could sleep in lectures once I'm working..)
-Tendency to hold stronger opinions ( Always did.. moving on..)
-Boredom with social interactions ( Sadly that usually only applies to my interaction with most girls..)
-Loss of closeness to high school and college friends ( True, but I have a whole new social circle here!)
-Financially-rooted stress (overwhelming college loans, unanticipatedly high cost of living, etc.) (Especially true during the hols here =S)
-Loneliness, depression and suicide ( Um, no.. I like living too much thanks..)
-Desire to have children ( Yeah that's new.. )
-A sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than you ( Nope.. I actually see people going both ways.. I've always been average..)
-Frustration with social skills ( When it comes to interacting with most girls, sadly yes =( )


And Happy Birthday Joe!
