Let the quarter life crisis begin!

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a starter home. Choose dental insurance, leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose your future. But why would anyone want to do a thing like that? *Finally at that phase in life where they say, you have to make the right decisions, take up the first right job, meet the right people, live the life of deadlines, make it or break it, do an MBA..the list goes on.
*(Excerpt from the movie trainspotting, which i read in the newspaper some months back.)


It's been two weeks since the exams got over. 3 years of college bygone? This was something i thought i'll never have to grapple with. Or atleast will be able to magically delay. The prognostication was true!
"Callows who shall graduate, shall bear the suffering of the Quarter Life Crisis."
I quite affiliate myself with it right now. Not all the symptoms, but yes, it caught me offguard. I am a victim. :-p
I've been at home mostly (which has started taking a toll on me) but still have been able to keep myself busy with meeting friends, painting (a wedding present for my cousin), the internet and some job-interviews. That still leaves me a lot of time, so let us analyse my situation.

The following are the qualifications for QLC and my association with it.

• Confusion with identity->Not really.
• Insecurity regarding the near future->Not at all.
• Re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships->YES!
• Insecurity regarding present accomplishments-Accomplishments?
• Disappointment with one's job->Considering washing the car is the only real job i do, YES!
• Nostalgia for college life->YESSSSSS!
• Tendency to hold stronger opinions->YES
• Boredom with social interactions->At times.
• Financially-rooted stress->Sometimes
• Loneliness-depends what kind, but in general, no.

Hence, I pass. But I know I'll get over this soon ;-)

A few exciting plans for the near future in the oven, you'll see a travelogue here soon.
Signing off with another rhymey..

I'm done with a social obligation

Floyd's on target, "we don't need no education"

I just want to love, laugh,

take a hike or sit by the ocean

I want to read, sway, ponder

Live a life with lesser inhibition

I love the way animals live,
Not sure I wanna learn how humans function

..thats my gumption

N mom..I won't be doing an MBA. Ever.
