It wasn’t just me, so many of my friends and other twenty-somethings were similarly overwhelmed that sociologists gave it a cute new name, the Quarter Life Crisis. If you haven’t heard of it, the QLC is the younger, poorer cousin of the midlife crisis. It involves much of the same paralytic fear about who you are (i.e. you don’t know, and even if you do you’ve wasted your life not being it.)
