Signs You’re Having a Quarter-Life Crisis

In just a few short months I’ll be 27 years old. TWENTY SEVEN. I might as well be 30. That just seems so old! Like, really old. Growing up, I had a lot of wild expectations for how my life would turn out and for where I’d be and what I’d be doing when I was pushing 30. I hope my ten year old self wouldn’t be disappointed in me.
Truth be told, I typed a book on this topic and then decided to scrap it and just show you this video that I found instead. BuzzFeed says it all better than me.
Has anyone else felt this way!!? I think I’m on the tail end of it all but I’ll tell you that trying to decide what you want to be when you grow up isn’t always fun and exciting. It just isn’t.
I’ll think I’m on the right track but then every time I hit a road block, I question it all and wonder how my life would be if I had never moved away from DC or if I had gone to law school or…so many other things.
My advice: if there’s something you’ve always dreamed of doing then DO IT NOW. Whether it be as simple as taking a trip or more complex like quitting your job and pursuing a completely different career. Pursue what will make you happy. If you don’t do it now, you never will. Plan that trip, take that first course towards a new/ different degree. Also, don’t forget to be gracious and cognizant of what you have and where you are right now. And…

I really love this post – I am 24 and everything feels like it’s going at warp-speed. Starting my blog really helped me prioritize my life a little bit better and get some focus and clarity. Anyways – I just try to keep on keepin’ on and enjoy what I have (easier said/typed than done).
Yeaaaaah, im pretty sure im having a 1/4 life crisis but im taking it one step at a time and enjoying not having all the answers!

I’m going to be 27 in a few months too and it just hit me the other day that i’m going to be old!! There’s a few things I want to do before I have a kid that i need to do instead of pushing it off.

I am 26 and as soon as I passed up year 25 I felt the crisis starting to hit :) I def. want to try to find a job I love asap, so before 30 is my goal. I want to do something I have a passion for and not something that just pays the bills :) then mayybbeeee after that we can talk kiddos ha!

ugh I can SO relate! i’m turning 27 in january & constantly worrying about why i haven’t accomplished more. in the past few years i’ve started taking more risks, but i’m still not quite sure what i want to be when i grow up either.
