Did anyone ever tell you that life’s hard out there…especially after you graduate college?
Well it can definitely be true in this time and economy. This period of anxiety and depression within the age of the mid-twenties is typically known as the quarter life crisis.
According to dictionary.com, it is an emotional crisis in one's twenties with anxiety and self-doubt after leaving academic life.
There is even a special website that only handles this calamity, quarterlifecrisis.com. A worthwhile time “waster” that can help almost anyone boost their self-esteem during this un-sturdy time period.
The website is full of interesting and helpful suggestions on how one might survive this situation as well as practices one can do before this predicament takes over their mind. Topics on the site range from simple life situations of finance and living circumstances to one’s social life.
Quarterlifecrisis.com is an easy site to navigate with sections listed concerning any problem one might have during this situation with updated monthly articles that relates to each section, books that might assist, along with links to other websites that would be helpful. There are also multiple surveys that can be taken and message boards that can be written in or read.
•Life – This section within the website gives advice for people in their twenties on the financial needs and wants and how to plan for their future. It even has links to other websites that you can test your knowledge on finance planning and spending, as well as where one might find roommates online.
•Work – This section relates to how someone can achieve a career rather than just a job and situations and hints on how to keep it. It also has a side panel that allows a site visitor to complete a quick job search.
•Play – This section explains and gives advice on how to mange one’s social life, all while trying to build your financial and career areas within your life. It gives links to other sites that could advance your social realm if that is what one is trying to do. Links of dating websites, dating advice websites and even links where you can purchase a variety of books that could help you even further.
I personally talked with a friend, lets call her Ashley (as she doesn’t want to be identified) about this website as she was going through this crisis without really knowing she was, and found the site to be interesting and worth the time she spent reading the advice and visiting the links that were given.
“I didn’t think there was a site that catered to a problem like this” she said. “But I googled some of what I was feeling and the term quarter life crisis popped up along with this website. I’m glad I came across it.”
Whether your still in college, graduating a few months away or even have graduated already, this website is one that could help with life’s little and big problems you could or already be facing. It’s just a click away.
Unrelated to the website I found a comical but also informative film relating to the quarter life crisis. I figured I would share just in case more of you were interested in this topic.
