Mid-20s Ambition Crisis

Here's a breakdown of my quarterlife stress (written while I was living in New York City, just over one year ago):

We have to go to grad school now to get better jobs/make more money--but then we have student loans.

Can't really “live” in NY because we don’t have money or we have to work all day so we can't actually enjoy it.

Some of us decide get married for security...

Have to know what we want so we can get life started

Have to get married by 30s

Now that women are expected to have careers we have to have that too

Oh and we have to be attractive and fit

Because at the end of the day, no matter how successful we are, it is on our biology to find a husband (for heterosexual women).

How depressing.
