QLC !!

Quarter Life Crisis, I don't know who invented this term, but I understand it as the most common word associated to any problem faced in a window of 23 – 29 years. Bad work environment, relationship, studies, all come under this umbrella. But do we need to really call it as a crisis.?? Is it really that bad..?? Are we in a soup ?? Well, It is not the case. What had been a smooth sail till now, is just going to pass through a region of rough weather. It all depends on how good a sailor we are. And yes, even if not, there is an alternative. Recruit a crew that can support and handle the pressure along with you, like below.
1. Never get depressed with scoring less in your board exams. By all means, you can make a second attempt, provided you are ready to waste another year and lag behind all your friends. You just have to worry about making friends in the new batch and act junior to your own classmates later.
2. There are thousands of Engineering Colleges(Your mom and dad would prefer Engineering than all your other Fine Arts Interest) with all types of courses. You need to contemplate only on how much money your parents are ready to waste on you, how soon you need to earn and what would happen at home, if you do not.
3. It is ok if you flunk a subject or two, or even more, in all the 4 years. After all, you cannot sit all time with books, labs and assignments. TCS, CTS recruit people with a history and you definitely have a better future than all the people who got selected in the best interviews.
4. If TCS and CTS are not interested in you, then there is definitely nothing to fret. Freshers are required in abundance globally and Walk-ins are conducted in all remote places. May be you land up with a better job than campus recruitment.
5. College love stories don’t succeed mostly. So guys, do not get over depressed if the gal, who said that she can’t survive a day without you, doesn’t pick your calls. It simply means that she has found a better guy and you will get a better gal soon. Gals, do not confuse and get desperate over the guy who used to talk overnight. It just means that he has other priorities in his life and he simply doesn’t have time for you.
6. Corporate world is huge. There are a lot of eligible singles, you will definitely find a better match than the previous one and be contented too. Life can be as awesome as possible. The mistakes of the lost relationship would have molded you into a worthy person, good enough to handle a new one.
7. Marriages require Parents presence. Announce your marriage to them and ask their consent. But if they are still stuck with caste, community, religion, nationality, etc., a marriage surrounded by friends, would also be great. You will see nothing beyond the person you chose, provided you and your fiancé are that deep in love to forego your parents.
8. If you choose to stay on your parents side, the path is still clear. Your parents will be more specific in finding a match and you are destined to get the right person. This person might love you more than anyone else, in spite of coming from a different family and accept all your family and relations as theirs. You have the benefit of learning from scratch, how to fall in love, head over heels, conditions apply.
9. Career might seem all the more important at this stage. Marriage might add pressure to increase the pay package. Consistently updating resume might not work. But you can still threaten your current manager with attrition and get a hike.
10. Marriage talks don't work..?? Forget it, GRE and GMAT is waiting for you. Give it a shot. There is a college for everyone to do their MS and MBA. There is no age limit to chase your dream, you see. And after finishing the course, you are a potential candidate for a great job and henceforth, the most liked entry in all matrimonial websites.
11. Done with post graduation and Marriage., bored with work ?? Throw away your laptop. Pick a pen or camera and start practicing the old childhood hobby denied by your parents. You have all the liberty to do it now. Enjoy life from the beginning with a new atmosphere. It can never be awesome than this. 

So the conclusion is that, whatever happens in life, is according to what we decide. Persistency and continuous new efforts can only build a person. There is no end to life factually. It will continue until it has to, no matter where, how and whom you are with. Believe in positive energy and fill your room with colors.

A bad day at work will suddenly seem to vanish when you hit the bed, watch the ceiling like you are lost and sleep without your knowledge. Talk to your best friend when you feel that you were dumped by your loved one for no reason. It will make you realize how precious you are and that they didn’t deserve you. Surround yourself with people and smile at everyone you meet at work, no harm at all.
Thank a waiter for his service, ask an auto driver how his day was, appreciate a coworker when he hums a beautiful song, feel elated when someone compliments that you look great today, laugh heartily over a joke, immediately call the person whom you feel like talking with and never postpone meeting your grandparents. Life is tightly packed with loads of surprises. Enjoy every bit of it. Take advantage of every second.

Feeling lonely.? Get down in the street and walk. Meet new people. Smile at everyone you pass by.

Lost your way.? Try to remember the roads that you pass through. Explore new places which can be of use in future.

Your manager doesn’t like you.? Definitely not your problem. You are there to work and not to please anyone.

The pain of rejection is killing you.? Divert your mind. There are 1000 good ways and a million bad ways to do that. The only choice you need to make is, how good a person you want to be in future.

Feel that you have not done anything in the past.? Then why worry and again waste time. Start now, accomplish more than what you could have done before. You still have lots of time.

Parents are not happy with your behavior.? Apply leave, go home and stay with them for a week. All those misunderstandings which seemed huge, will suddenly disappear.

Bored of friends who exaggerate their achievements.? Very easy, keep in touch only with people whom you can relate to and who can relate to you. Singles are the best company to keep. ;)

Eliminate all the unwanted and do things, which can bring a smile on your face.

Moral of the story: Smile and make everyone smile. 
