Navigating Your Quarter-Life Crisis Together

It was the summer of 2018 when I graduated from my last year at The University of Washington. As I walked into my last quarter, the past 4 years of my college experience flashed through my eyes as I gazed upon my lecture hall. Memories of my crazy nights out, drinking with my friends, and having your heart skip over that hot girl in my Econ 201 class. Was this was all going to be just a memory in a couple weeks? Am I ready to to enter adulthood? The scary part was, was this going to be the best 4 years of my life that I was going to leave behind?

But why was this such a scary idea for me, to move on from college? My life was set. I knew I had a full time job waiting for me and I was going to work for corporate America at one of the biggest airplane manufacturer with a good paying and secure job. I had secured plans to move back home, to save up money, to buy a house even in a couple years. And to top it off, I had the most amazing and beautiful girlfriend that I was even shocked could ever be interested in me.

But you see, this was what terrified me inside. Was this really want I wanted and did I make the right choice?
