Once upon a time, you had it all figured out - your dream major, the perfect career, the catalog-quality husband and two-point-five kids. And then one day you wake up in a Pepto-pink cubicle wondering what happened to the life you were meant to lead. Where are the romantic proposals, the sleek power suits, the all-consuming feeling that you just know you're on the right track?
It's time for your coronation, Crisis Queen, because you've just hit your Quarterlife and crisis is here to stay. So live it, love it, slap a crown on it and call it your own.
"The quarterlife Crisis Queens are blessed with intelligence, civic-mindedness, a cosmic need for the greater good, to strive for something better. We seek fulfillment, truth and justice in everything we do and somehow, fulfillment, truth and justice don’t quite add up to a 401(k) or a shiny new car. We have shiny crowns though. And sometimes that’s enough."
