50 Thoughts During a Quarter-Life Crisis

How many years until I can retire?
Can I buy groceries on Amazon?
My entire paycheck has gone to wedding presents.
Maybe I should get another cat.
Seriously? Are there any other pictures on my newsfeed
besides engagements and pregnancy announcements?
No, I’m sorry I can’t go, I only have twelve dollars left in
my checking account.
I’m going to move to Europe.
I’m going to move to Australia.
I’m going to move anywhere but here.
Should I start wearing eye cream?
I can’t wear a suit, I look like I’m playing dress up.
I really thought I would have my life more together by now.
Should I start a blog?
I’m definitely going to start a blog.
What is FICA?
I wish I had your life (while talking to your cat…)
No, sorry I can’t go, I’m in a wedding that weekend.
No thanks, I don’t want to hold your baby.
I have to go to the gym. I don’t want to be the fat
bridesmaid.
How is it possibly time to go to work again, I just left?
I’m just going to close my eyes for 20 minutes.
I promise I used to have friends.
I want to go back to school.
Do I have anything to wear that doesn’t have Greek letters
on it?
This can’t be all there is.
I’m overwhelmed, I’m just going to lay here for a few
minutes.
How is my apartment dirty again?
Why is the fire alarm still chirping?!
I need this outfit for a night out.
I never have a night out…
Maybe I should just buy some more slacks.
Why did my metabolism just quit on me?
What do you mean sequins aren’t appropriate work attire?
Let’s take a road trip!
Just kidding, I can’t take that much time off work.
9:30 on a Friday night…I’m exhausted, I’m going to bed.
Can you give me the recipe if I’m making it for one?
Does it have more than 3 ingredients?
What is tarragon?
I need to take self-defense classes.
Is my hair too blonde?
No, my biological clock isn’t ticking?
No, I don’t need to be set up.
I have a love/hate relationship with carbs.
It’s in the take-out menu drawer.
I have two weddings on the same day…
Is it too early for Botox?
Hold on let me get my planner.
Can you turn the music down?
Oh my gosh, being an adult is hard. Nobody tells you how hard
this is.

    Yes. Especially this… I’m overwhelmed, I’m just going to lay here for a few minutes.

    I just lay FOREVER.

    LOL seriously every single one of these thoughts! Especially the wedding baby announcements, gym for the bridesmaid deal, and I wish I had my cat's life! Oh and yes – you can get groceries through Amazon!

    • HelOnHeels says

      May 6, 2015 at 1:27 am

      YES! Best news I've heard all day! and seriously, I'm out of fridge space from all the invitations!

    you should always get another cat, and you should definitely move somewhere fun – i wish i had moved to europe when i was younger!

    EVERY.SINGLE.ONE. I think I go through all of these repeatedly on a daily basis. The one I always come back to is my 20-something crisis would be so much better in Europe. I'd get my act together there, I'm sure of it!

    • HelOnHeels says

      May 12, 2015 at 10:35 pm

      I would definitely enjoy it more!
