Volcanically greasy, artificially gooey, lusciously bubbly. Rich, warm years of adolescence tucked into a breaded role of cheese, brimming with vitality. Say goodbye to those mozzarella sticks of youth because college graduation has passed, and it’s time to face… life! From this point forward I intend to blog about articles that deal with the ups and downs; ins and outs; overs and unders of quarter-life crises. Not only have I been consciously ignoring the fact that I’ll be twenty in less than six months, but I’m also just slowly coming to terms with the concept of life after graduation. Sooner or later I’m going to hit the quarter-life mark, and I’m looking forward to exploring the ranges of emotions, experiences, and longings that instigate such “trauma.”
What are the major factors that cause the onset of a quarter-life crisis, and how have its effects and results changed from generation to generation? Are there any preventative measures that can be taken to mitigate the negative repercussions of facing the real world?
I’m also planning on researching how the symptoms of this crisis may vary across various portions of the American or even international population. If are any particular racial, socio-economic, or gender-related trends, I’d like to take them into consideration as I narrow my overwhelming number of questions related to this topic to a single research point.
