Hope everyone had a good weekend!
What this is all about...
A quarter life crisis is a real thing. I know this because myself, and my best girlfriends, are going through it right now. This blog is dedicated to the day to day banalities/craziness of those quarter life crises. For those of you with questions, 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 get pushed out of the nest and you have to flap your wings enough to cushion the fall. Perhaps your thirties are when you get to fly?
The question isn't who is going to let me;
it's who is going to stop me.
-Ayn Rand

Need a Laugh? Here's 3!
Three years ago I lived with 3 girls from my sorority. It was everything you are imagining it was - we made cookies, ballroom danced in the living room, brought back firemen, took jumping photos, and recorded "Ellen." Every day. Seriously, every single day. And we had an unspoken rule - you couldn't watch it without Jen there. Well you could, but you would have to watch it again and pretend like you hadn't.
For those of you who have never watched "Ellen" then I hope it is because you live far away and don't have reliable internet access. "Ellen" is one of the funniest shows ever and it will ALWAYS put you in a better mood. That is a promise. She does everything from make dreams come true to embarrass her own crew members for our pleasure.
I bring all of this up because tonight Jen posted this video on Facebook. I watched it and during the first minute I was thinking "ha ha, ok, how is this funny for 5 minutes?" By the end I was actually laughing out loud and I may have snorted. There aren't any witnesses, but it's a possibility. If you time - and sound - you should watch this video. Then, just for good measure, I posted a hilarious video of audience members playing "Aw Snap." Just watch it and try not to pee your pants.

And just for good measure, in case you were wondering what else the show offers, here is my 2nd favorite game she plays - Blindfolded Musical Chairs

What Age Do You Act?
I love Facebook quizzes. It's one of my favorite aspects of Facebook. All those quizzes that tell you all about you - anything from What Disney Princess Are You? (Aerial) to What Movie Love Story Describes Your Life? (Serendipity).
So when this one popped up I had to take it: What Age Do You Act?
Guess what I got? You Act Like You Are 22 Years Old
You are a twenty-something at heart. You feel like an adult, and you're optimistic about life. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. You're still figuring out your place in the world and how you want your life to shape up. The world is full of possibilities, and you can't wait to explore many of them.
Sometimes Facebook is spooky.

A Quote And Links - Fun Stuff To Check Out
I came across two things that I really wanted to share with you. The first is an excerpt from the book I am reading, David Nicholls' One Day:
I found this to be a funny, yet accurate, explanation of how we all felt those first few days out in the real world.
The other item I had to bring to everyone's attention is a post from a blog called "Avoid This Job." Unfortunately the blog hasn't been updated for months, but I stumbled upon a hilarious post that you will undoubtedly giggle while reading. It tears apart a craigslist ad, which for my international friends, is a website where people post job openings amongst other things. Definitely take the time to read this:
Shake it Like a Polaroid Picture - Avoid this Job
Also, take the Color Quiz! It is scarily accurate and it takes about one minute to complete. You will be amazed: Color Quiz
She didn't feel like an adult. She was in no way prepared. It was as if a fire alarm had gone off in the middle of the night and she was standing on the street with her clothes bundled up in her arms. If she wasn't learning, what was she doing? How would she fill the days? She had no idea. The trick of it, she told herself, is to be courageous and bold and make a difference. Not change the world exactly, just the bit around you. Go out there...and work hard at...something.Nicholls, David. One Day. New York: Vintage Contemporaries, 2009: 12-13.
