Thanks alot! Seriously Danielle, Sheesh!  This isn't the best motivation during exams is it? I suppose its better us late teens keep believing in the American dream myth for their post graduation years: Job with a prestigious firm, Condo on Bloor, Black beemer, Snazzy Hugo Boss worksuits a classy significant other etc etc
We DO NOT need to know about a quarterlife crisis

I didn't read the whole article but "quarterlife crisis" just seems like a convenient buzzword/label that psychiatrists can use to label bored unmotivated people who regret not doing anything with their lives...
The true earmark of these sorts of long, boring, sociology essays that you usually find in some rag magazine is the attachment of some pointless quiz at the end..oh look...
(not that its particularly bad, just not insightful)

actually, if you had read the article, the quarter life crisis is regret at having to do something, not having done nothing.

I thought it was really interesting, particularly since I had a mini crises the other day, involving not knowing what I wanted to do once I come out of university. But all this stuff about women being caught between having all this new freedom and knowing when to do other things like having kids is quite scary, and I'm not really looking forward to it. I think a lot of us (if not all) will go through something like this at some point, if they haven't already.
