Life Update and Lessons Learned
posted 7th October 2009 Written by: Andrea CATEGORY: All Posts, Andrea, Life Lesson, Quarterlife Crisis, Season 1, What I've Learned

I can’t even believe that thirteen weeks have gone by since we all started blogging about the “Quarterlife Crisis”. As, I look back over my posts and my very first introduction post, I gotta say I’ve done a lot over the past 3 months!
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Molly for posting this opportunity on HARO (if you are a journalist, PR professional, HR rep or in corporate communication and do not know what HARO is, you should so take a look at it right NOW)
So far, I think this experience has done wonders for my chaotic mind and really helped me to see which areas of my life I struggle with (anxiety and work) and which parts of my life are just awesome (my friends, family, Beau and living in DC)!
Here is a general recap of the past 13 weeks, just in case you haven’t had time to read them all or if you are just discovering Stratejoy. Enjoy!
Direct From Washington DC, 13 Weeks Of A QuarterLife Crisis
- I got a tattoo
- I went to Bonnaroo the first music experience of my life and LOVED it. Maybe I can like music?
- I turned 25! WHO HOO!
- I realized the difference between MEN and BOYS… and when I need each of them in my life
- I learned to appreciate the wonderful close friends I have
- I went to the first of my college roommates weddings and discovered I don’t want a traditional wedding and ANY sense. A boy, a beach some booze and the people that matter the most. THE END
- I found that frenemies do not exist in my world. I have friends and acquaintances. Frenemies should not exist in your world either- they aren’t worth the time and energy because life is just too short
- I was forced to see that vacation is essential and everyone deserves to relax, refocus and regroup
- I still wake up every day questioning “How do you know when to go?”
- I’m still learning that its going to be a long a long process trying to figure out my purpose in life and my future career path, but at least I’m working on it
- I am still not a Grown Up… and that’s okay!
