Once I get my registration approved (hello, administrators!) I look forward to connecting with the other 20-somethings, and sharing what I have learned, and getting some camaraderie with others feeling the way I do.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot lately (as may be evidenced by my lack of writing) about who I wanted to be when I grew up. As a child, I told people I wanted to be a corporate lawyer, a writer, a librarian, and President of the US. As I got a little older, I still wanted to be a writer, and study literature, and then decided on becoming a genetic counselor/therapist. Of course, that all changed when I actually got into college and worked in a lab. I was so&#8230; bored.</p>
<p>Now, here I am, in a job that most would envy &#8211; a marketing position in a growing segment of an industry I&#8217;ve loved. And somehow, I&#8217;m still not content. It&#8217;s not that my job doesn&#8217;t challenge me (it does, even on days that I&#8217;m not working), and that I don&#8217;t believe in what I do. I thought that my job would provide the fulfillment that I needed.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Maybe it&#8217;s because I work from home. Maybe it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m not involved in the community. Maybe it&#8217;s because I no longer find common ground with the people I once considered friends. Whatever it is, there seems to be a void that no number of hours can fill.</p>
<p>About a year ago, I discovered &#8220;The Quarterlife Crisis&#8221; &#8211; a couple of books that talked about what it feels like I must be going through. I&#8217;m planning on looking into the online groups dedicated to discussing the phenomenon, and maybe starting a local group. Living in a college town, there have to be more people here who feel this way!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also re-dedicating myself to documenting this process, here, on my blog. Maybe it can inspire someone else who&#8217;s struggling. And if not, at least it gives me a voice.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s to the future!</p>
