quarter life crisis 

The diet pepsi of chronological crises. Striking at the 25-35yo demographic, who've realised that:
A) Those dreams of happiness that sustained them through high school and college will always remain fantasy no matter how much they earn OR
B) Their job at the local McDonalds isn't proving a satisfying career choice and maybe they shouldn't have slept through remedial maths.
Either way, common symptoms include a renewed passion for the pop music of their youth, dusting off the skateboard and considering "going pro", and the dating of underage skanks from the local high school to prove they still got it.

No point waiting till I'm 50 to be dissatisfied with life, bring on the retro hits and loose wimmin'!

Quarter Life Crisis 

The period of life during the mid-20s when you realise you've not nearly accomplished as many things as you had expected by now due to changed demographics between your parent's time.

Examples include:
Struggling to find a job due to lack of experience.
Single and still ready to mingle.
University debt hanging over you.
Living at home unable to even dream about getting on the property ladder.
Realising you don't have enough time to enjoy any money you do have.
Starting to get wrinkles/grey hair/balding.
Realising adulthood isn't all its cracked up to be.

A transitional time between the fun of the late teens and the responsibility of adulthood.

Q: Why do you look so depressed?
A: I'm having a Quarter Life Crisis!!

Quarter Life Crisis 

The QLC is when you realize that you have to be Responsible. It is when the job you accept is the beginning of a Career Path. It is when the guy/girl you date might be The One. It is when you realize you spend more time at Happy Hour than anywhere else because it is the only place people complain more than you. It is when you know every word to Avenue Q: I Wish I Could Go Back To College.

See kbtheqlc.blogspot.com for real life examples of a Quarter Life Crisis.

quarter life crisis 

the time when, halfway to the midlife crisis, you realize that you have spent the last 10 years drooling over playboy bunnies that you have no chance with, drinking enough beer to intoxicate an entire middle school, and fantasizing about a house and car that you could have bought if you wouldnt have spent $120,000 on a private university or two instead of becoming a plumber (seriously, master plumbers with five years experience make 46000 without a degree); also right about the time when college/high school girls start calling you "sir" and stop thinking you are anything but the creepy dude at the club

College grad: Boy, I would love to have a a Lexus IS300 with chameleon paint.
Owner of Lexus IS300 with chameleon paint: I can't even read.
