Quarter-Life Crisis

I want to get a degree in Psychology and Anthropology, travel around the world, be a people-watcher, use my observations and my studies, and eventually, write a novel. After I write my novel, I want to teach Psychology and Anthropology. Yes, that is my direction right now, my mother thinks it is crazy, but at least, I have a direction now. This dream of mine is not at all at impulse. I have been thinking about doing it for so long that I started to doubt myself about it. It's better than my wanting to try to make money off of being a literary crticism writer in which high school students have to use my argument in order to either make a counterargument off of or use it in order to support their own argument. Either way, that was the most ridiculous thinking I could have ever thought of.

I know what I can do well and vice versa. I can observe people and think of ways to either develop a certain theory of them and how they process.

Over the years, I have noticed that my presence do not really influence people on its own, but with my voice, people listen to the thoughts I have. I do not know why, but I think that getting a degree in Psychology and Anthropology, writing a novel, and eventually become a teacher is my direction in life. Even though I am not helping humanity as a whole, I think that at least I am able to do something with my life.

I have been looking at other blogs, vlogs, videos, and articles, and they are mostly written or done by people who are going through a quarter-life crisis.

You are probably wondering, "What is the quarter-life crisis?". The quarter-life crisis, as I define it, happens to people in between the ages of 16 to 25, take or add a couple of years. Usually, we end our schooling, but we have no direction. We do not know what we will do with out lives. It is similar to the mid-life crisis except by the age of 40-50, again take or add a couple of years, we are already doing what we are suppose to do, and we have no excuse except that we are bored. However, the quarter-life crisis involves choices that may or may not influence our future.

We are indecisive people, and we have no direction because we are afraid sometimes, or just confused. I think the latter because I see many people with this condition. It cannot be cured, only coped and eventually, we will get out of it. If you want to see examples of people in the quarter-life crisis, look at YouTube vlogs, blogs, and other things.

Hopefully, you are not in the quarter-life crisis and have direction. If you are, it is ok, the future will work out itself. We will get it through together.
