What's on your mug?

aka. Mid-youth crisis. Refers to the numerous personal crises brought on by entering adulthood and being expected to become a responsible, productive member of society. Characterized by first gray hairs/wrinkles, excessive drinking, hanging out with people who are younger in order to feel younger again only to end up looking creepy, extreme fear of all of these things.

Wow, paying back these student loans is really a bitch...they are not helping my quarter life crisis one bit...time to put on my tie and go sit in my cube and play solitaire, I mean, work.

The psychological strain that is encountered on one's 25th birthday. Subject often realizes that he/she has lived a quarter century and still hasn't done anything consequential.

I think Roger is going through a quarter life crisis. He's been talking about going back to college so he can actually get a real job someday.

The diet pepsi of chronological crises. Striking at the 25-35yo demographic, who've realised that: A) Those dreams of happiness that sustained them through high school and college will always remain fantasy no matter how much they earn OR B) Their job at the local McDonalds isn't proving a satisfying career choice and maybe they shouldn't have slept through remedial maths. Either way, common symptoms include a renewed passion for the pop music of their youth, dusting off the skateboard and considering "going pro", and the dating of underage skanks from the local high school to prove they still got it.

No point waiting till I'm 50 to be dissatisfied with life, bring on the retro hits and loose wimmin'!

The period of life during the mid-20s when you realise you've not nearly accomplished as many things as you had expected by now due to changed demographics between your parent's time. Examples include: Struggling to find a job due to lack of experience. Single and still ready to mingle. University debt hanging over you. Living at home unable to even dream about getting on the property ladder. Realising you don't have enough time to enjoy any money you do have. Starting to get wrinkles/grey hair/balding. Realising adulthood isn't all its cracked up to be. A transitional time between the fun of the late teens and the responsibility of adulthood.

When somebody finally realises that they are over 25, still hang around in the parks trying to get laid, still live with their parents, and need to do something more productive with their life.
