The Quarter Life Crisis

What is a quarter life crisis? I thought that I made up this crazy phase I was going through until I looked it up and found out it is real!  The quarter life crisis is the frustration that people in their 20s and 30s go through because of how the world has changed.  30 is the new 20, 40 is the new 30 and so on.  The economy sucks and even when you do get a job it's tough to afford to move out of your parents' house.  Your friends lose touch, your family  judges you and acts as though you should be married with a great jobs, a house, 2 kids and a dog.  They can't understand why you are single, living at home and haven't started your career yet.

How to get through a quarter life crisis? I don't know!  Sorry...  The only thing that I can do is keep trying; keep applying to jobs for what it is I went to school for, keep making plans to go out, and just keep believing that everything will be ok.  There are many days that I get upset and depressed about this but we can't spend our lives being sad.  We need to count our blessings and always be aware of them.  Things can always be worse.  Keep your heads up and stay confident! 

IMPORTANT ADVICE: DON'T BE JELLY!
Yes! I'm serious!  Being jealous or envying other people will get you no where.  Love yourself and love what you have.  Being jealous won't make your life any better so start doing things that will!
