I'm 26. I had a bit of a quarter-life crisis when I was 21-22.

At that time I...

- fell in love with a man that my family didn't approve of
- then when that fell apart I proceeded to date two guys at once (S, T)
- walked away from my parents' religion (was raised Mormon)
- found a faith that meshed better with my lifestyle (Catholicism, oddly enough)
- dropped out of college (returned to a better university 2 years later, graduated, now in grad school)
- considered a new career path (thought of going into theatrical lighting professionally, decided my heart was in Botany afterall)
- traveled Europe with only backpack and a male friend (now my husband)

Quarter-life crises are great. It was an excuse to do all of that rebelious stuff that I neglected when I was a teenager.

I'm currently in a comfortable place and happy with life, utterly confident of the choices that I made along the way.
