The QLC is when you realize that you have to be Responsible. It is when the job you accept is the beginning of a Career Path. It is when the guy/girl you date might be The One. It is when you realize you spend more time at Happy Hour than anywhere else because it is the only place people complain more than you. It is when you know every word to Avenue Q: I Wish I Could Go Back To College.

the time when, halfway to the midlife crisis, you realize that you have spent the last 10 years drooling over playboy bunnies that you have no chance with, drinking enough beer to intoxicate an entire middle school, and fantasizing about a house and car that you could have bought if you wouldnt have spent $120,000 on a private university or two instead of becoming a plumber (seriously, master plumbers with five years experience make 46000 without a degree); also right about the time when college/high school girls start calling you "sir" and stop thinking you are anything but the creepy dude at the club

the years after college when your parents stop telling you how to live you life - and stop financing it.

When a person, usually male, finishes high school or college, and gets their first job. Before they settle down and get married, they are under pressure to live life to its fullest, just like they wished they could have as a student, but couldn't afford to at the time. It is usually characterized by taking wild and extravagant trips and purchasing items that are considered for bachelors....
Wow! Pablo just bought a BMW, kegerator, big screen tv, outdoor heater, and has become a world traveler. He must be going through a quarter life crisis. He better enjoy it while he can.
