.. 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.

.. taken from "mid-life crisis"
which is at 50
quater being 25
one can get quarter life crisis from any of the below
1. not married
2. feels so old and still wants to be in college or high school
3. getting married
4. married

.. an early replacement for the all too impatient, need-to-have-everything-now, cell-phone-me-later-to-say-"hey", internet-crazed, generation x-ers and on who absolutely cannot wait until middle age to have their real midlife crisis, they need one NOW!

.. the moment you realize you are a quarter of a century old.
A: dude, you're oooold.
B: i'm only 25.
A: that's a quarter of a century.
B: what? what?! ack!

.. similar to a mid-life crisis, but in your 20's; average life expectancy is around 80, so a quarter of the way through is 20

.. a time period of confusion, self doubt, and need for change during the first 25 years of one's life

.. subject matter of an accurate john mayer song "why georgia" (see music review)


i'm in my 20s and i'm having a quarter life crisis!
