Quarter Life Crisis

[patlajan]

Every once in a while I'm sitting at me desk at work, and I wonder what the hell I'm doing with myself. Then I go out on my lunchbreak and I look around at other people who appear to be bored out of their skull. I can't help but wonder if this is what being an "adult" is like.

So is this it? Was this what all the big preparation in college was for? The money is nice, but it's not like I want to buy anything. In fact I can't think of anything I really want. I go to work come back and the days seem to melt together. Am I the only one going through a quasi quater life crisis or what?

The only part i can relate to is that "the days seem to melt together" lol... other than that.. i would sugest you get a dirt bike and hit the dirt roads, if you dont know anywhere to go come on over.. im going this weekend... ... i guess i can show you around... i can almost gaurante e youll be hooked..

bottom line.. the solution to your problems is to get a dirt bike.. (dont forget a gas canister, cause its the only way to fil your bike :P)

Start playing poker and retire

Do you have a girlfriend? That's always a big help.

In other words, find a girl she'll start planning your life for you in return for some nookie once in a while. Takes care of the boredom and the life plan all in one. Down side is, it's her plan not yours, and eventually the sex becomes a coersion tool. But this is not a thread about relationships, I don't wanna get too into this or I'm gonna get all kinds of extra opinions.

Don't listen to that. Get the dirt bike. TRUST me. If you're not that crazy, then a Jeep. Just anything to keep you occupied until the years pass and is time to die.

If I'm riding around on a dirt bike that time might be sooner than expected.

Hehehe ... I changed my mind about the advice but too late I guess. But seriously, just find some way to pass the time and it won't be as bad. A jeep may sound expensive but I guarantee you it doesn't even come close to how much you'll have to spend if you find a girl and not to mention all the nagging and "talking" that comes with the territory.

Hahah all the "talking" that was funny. My answer to "how come we never talk?" is "cause you never shut up".

But let me change subjects before this turns into a relationship thread. I guess the prevailing theme so far is "get a hobby".

Yah, basically find a way not to think about that stuff cause you'll just think yourself into a big depression. There are no good answers I'm affraid.

If you find the one you're gonna be with she isn't really going to be planning your life for you. You plan your lives together. But I won't make this a relationship thread either.

You said while sitting at your desk, do you have a passion for what you do? Do you enjoy getting up everyday going to work, I think not. I think love, and passion and enjoyment for what you do will take care of most of this. And then you should seriously think about taking up hobbies that interest you and try to go all out on them. And if all this still makes you feel like your days are all melting together then you're medically depressed and maybe have an imbalance. Thats my 2 cents.
