College-Life Crisis

A type of phase college students go through fearing that once they graduate, they’re gonna think to themselves, “why was I so boring during college?”.

Alice: What’s with JJ? He almost got caught spray painting on the dorms!
Bob: Sorry. JJ’s going through a College-Life Crisis right now. he’s trying to keep himself from being remembered as lame.

quarter life crisis

You are considered to have a "Quarter Life Crisis" if you have had a nervous breakdown between the ages of 20 and 30.

See One Eight Life Crisis or Mid Life Crisis for more information on the former.

"I am seriously, like, having a nervous breakdown"
(Evesdropping Bystander thinks...) She's having a Quarter Life Crisis!

quarter life crisis

an early replacement for the all too impatient, need-to-have-everything-now, cell-phone-me-later-to-say-"hey", internet-crazed, generation x-ers and on who absolutely cannot wait until middle age to have their real midlife crisis, they need one NOW!

Jerry Yang is like totally having a quarter life crisis after having made his first billion prior to mid-life and now not knowing what to do/buy next.

From the John Mayer song "Why Georgia"
"Might be a quarter life crisis"

n.
the moment you realize you are a quarter of a century old.

A: Dude, you're oooold.
B: I'm only 25.
A: That's a quarter of a century.
B: What? What?! Ack!

Millennial Life Crisis

A millennial life crisis is when a youngster realises that the oldies really did send the environment down the whazoo. And no matter being a tree planting square, you always know the cool kids at school will not invite you to the milkbar after class.

Guy 1: I swear im going through a millennial life crisis.
Guy2: Yup dem boomers did it.
