Stuffy-Corporate guy: Brillant! Jenkins! Now, i'll have the usual Club sandwhich on brown bread if you please.
Jenkins: C'ommin right up sir.

Get the College-Life Crisismug. The period beginning some time during high school and lasting until college graduation in which a person feels emotionally and physically out of shape compared to others. Is similar to a mid life crisis but there is no way to spend your way out since you're broke and have to actually change yourself.
I must be going through a quarter life crisis. I just feel so depressed and I'm not even through with college.
