No, I am not going to rant about a so-called 'quarter life crisis'.
I live in a European capital since 6 years. Now at the moment I just turned 25, I see my social reality changing. It did not happen spontaneously, but the first half of this year I was living in Spain as an exchange student and I had a lot of great nights going out while living in Spain.
Now, back in my city, most of my friends have reached an age on which they work and study more, leaving less time for going out. When my friends go out, their most important objective is to find a place where they really enjoy the music. A lot of people don't go out for girls but more to listen to music.
The time of living here as an undergraduate is gone. While I have friends here, and of course I still go out, they don't join me going out so easily as they did 3-4 years ago.
While 25 is a great age to be, a curse is that my friends this age are not doing many interesting things, or doing them on themselves. It is difficult to put my feeling into words. Moving cities and meet the right people seems as a solution.
I'm now doing a masters and looking into exchange programs, but on the other hand, after all those years I'm pretty tired of studying. University is cool, but if people refer to student life as their best part of life they seem to forget that it is mostly the first two years that are filled with craziness and in the later years it is more about the ability to find freedom, I think. Being a 5th year student is not so much fun.
Anyone recognize this feeling?
