Mid-youth crisis 

A Millennial phenomenon in which a young adult, usually 25, who has yet to establish a career is in an odd position where they realize they turn 40 in 15 years. Individuals experiencing such a crisis are often out of college with a B.A. in the Arts and Sciences, work retail, and ruminate over the missed opportunities of youth and the crippling fear of growing old. They are compelled to find a meaning in their life, but become overwhelmed by knowing that no matter what they do, they are robbing themselves of valuable time to do something else. Because of this, they often choose to do nothing but entertain themselves by binge watching Netflix shows on their parents' account. They have little concern for the importance of money as they live in their childhood bedrooms rent-free.
Abdul, who chose a career in STEM with the knowledge that he would be kicked out of his parents' house, is not experiencing the mid-youth crisis of Jody, who's main concern is not learning the guitar he bought when he was sixteen nine years later.

Serial Monogamist 

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
