Mid twenties Crisis

“What would you like to do with your life?” How many times do my generation counterparts get asked this question and what is the correct answer? Life plans seem expected from older successful counterparts, yet surely in your twenties you are supposed to snatch upon the freedom of inexperience and live with a slight ounce of spontaneity. The conventional expectations that are imposed upon this generation by older society have now become flawed. The older, traditional life route would be to indoctrinate yourself into education from age four until twenty one, followed very closely by a jump into a career and then eventually marriage and babies. But this just isn’t possible any more. Life is expensive. University is expensive. Cultural recession makes it difficult to get a graduate job. For me, the thought of getting married and having a baby is so far off, it is as elusive as the philosophers stone. Hence then, the question positions the lack of answer and then instigates the “Whatthefuckamidoingwithmylife” mid twenties crisis.The Mid-twenties crisis; a phenomenon that my friends and I certainly weren’t expecting. The transitional period between student to adult is difficult and rarely smooth. A life faced with low income and high bills is not a pretty one. Another facet of your education begins; life education.Your twenties are supposed to be the time in your life where you make your mistakes and learn from your experiences. There are many things that make it tough. Heartbreak, housing issues, emotional displacement, job searches, but they’re supposed to be FUN. So I say let’s wrap up the crisis together, experience everything, grow from it, learn from it and then decide.
