Ross Griffith, a senior and a Hatchet columnist, explains the phenomenon of the quarter-life crisis.

“It’s called the quarter-life crisis, and just like a mid-life crisis defines a baby-boomer, the quarter-life crisis defines our generation as much as anything else (except for maybe the Internet). It references a series of anxieties about basically every aspect of our lives. From relationships and friendships to jobs, careers and even morals, the quarter-life crisis basically implies a real sense of insecurity and nervousness about all aspects of your future life.”
