My roommate turned 25 the other day. And that was weird for him.
I turn 24 in three months, and I am almost freaking out. What is wrong with me? I feel the pressure, the expectations, the missed goals, etc. Basically I don't have my Aston Martin or the house I designed in my head (it's quite awesome, let me tell you). So what is wrong? I graduated high school as a Valedictorian, and now I drop out of school to start a window cleaning business?!
I am stupid! This is the last thing in the world that I ever wanted! This is definitely not my life plan. Most of my classmates are graduated. But then again, they don't have jobs either. Most of them, anyway. But even still, I feel incompetent. I feel like I should have more accomplished. Maybe I need to take a break. Maybe I need to see the whole picture. Maybe I need to take this year and do all I can so I can have my early-life-crisis when I turn 25.
I think that will be my goal. Starting once I turn 24, I want to live it like it is my last (cliche, I know. Think figuratively). Give that year all that I have. I am going to write down all the important things and check them off if it is within my possibility. Driving fast cars (maybe a driving class with expensive cars), travel around the world (around-the-world plane ticket), watching the Olympics (Vancouver, BC?), buying my motorcycle (I got my license..), get married (ladies? I'm accepting applications, ha ha), and I don't know what else. But I think I am going to let next year be the year. I can freak out on my birthday after that.

Quarter life crises, here I come! HAHA.
I turned 24 in October and let me tell you it's no differen't than turning 22 or 23!! But 25... that's half of 50 so you can freak out next year :)
Good luck Jeff. Let me know before you buy that porsche.
And Courtney, I'll try not to think of it that way, cuz 24 is half of 48, which at this point is just as bad as 50. ha ha.
