The Carly Quarter-life Saga Continues
WIKIPEDIA defines 'Quarterlife Crisis' as:
The quarter-life crisis is a term, coined in 2001 by Abby Wilner and Alexandra Robbins, authors of Quarterlife Crisis: The Unique Challenges of Life in Your Twenties, and is applied to the period of life immediately following the major changes of adolescence, usually ranging from the ages of 21 - 29. The term is named by analogy with mid-life crisis.
Among the symptoms:
- Confusion of identity
- insecurity regarding the near future
- insecurity regarding present accomplishments
- re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships
- disappointment with one's job
- nostalgia for college life
- tendency to hold stronger opinions
- boredom with social interactions
- financially-rooted stress
- loneliness
Dunno folks, at risk of turning this into a thought-provoking, what-is-my-purpose-in-life-drivel, I do believe I'm going through an English version of Carly's Quarter-life crisis, (having gone through a NZ version just before I left Kiwiland), and more than one of those symptoms applies to me!
Doh!
THIS sums things up nicely too!
