I'm sure most of the people reading this are or remember being in their twenties and how hard adult life seemed. Being young is the supposed to be the time of your life and fun as heck, but most of the time it definitely isn't. This is not the "best time of my life"

Living life as a young adult is hard. You have to go to college, but going means most people have to accept crushing debt for a majority of their life. College is so expensive, and if you don't choose the right degree or subject, you waste time and money. It's so stressful. You also have to work to save money but to get a good job you need experience and to gain experience, you need a job! Who has time to focus on school fully when you also have to work full time? Somehow people out there manage to do it, and they are incredible for it.

I often wonder how people can get through it. There's always those classmates who are in three clubs, a sorority/fraternity and working an internship all at the same time. Just how? The thought of it makes me want to implode. I'm just not that kind of person. I can't handle a life as hectic as that, and that's okay.

Most of that comes from having anxiety, I guess. Those of you reading this who can relate, anxiety is a bitch. It makes everything ten times harder than it needs to be. It tells you everything is going to have the worst outcome and you will fail. It makes nothing seem worth doing.

It really discourages a person from pursuing their dreams.

Now having that constant battle going on in your head along with fighting the daily struggles of being a twenty-something trying to graduate college can be rough.

Being young is full of struggles, yes that sounds entitled and "millennial-y" but is it wrong? No. Life, in general, is hard, let's be honest.

So when I say I have realized I'm having a quarter-life crisis, it seems just about right. I came to the conclusion a month or so ago. Before then, I would jokingly say I was experiencing a midlife crisis because that's what it felt like. I have been feeling run down and like a light bulb struggling to stay on, slowly flickering faster and faster.

What should I minor in? Is my major right for me? Where should I go to graduate school? What career path should I choose? Is it all right for me? Is it all worth it?

At some point, it all becomes way too much and makes dropping out and moving away seems way easier. But of course, that is not true. So, painting and shopping online are some of the things I choose to fill the ever-growing hole in my heart and soul with.

I always feel like I'm just kind of floating without a real purpose but I think that's all okay. It just means I don't have any hangups and my passions can take me where ever they will in life.

If this is what the rest of adult life is like, I do not find myself feeling sufficiently prepared. Unfortunately, like most people around the world, I have to just push forward. Hopefully, my mid-life crisis is different from this.
