This is a great link to an article on eyeweekly. com.
Below is the quiz from their site to let you know if you are having a Quarterlife Crisis. If you are, read the article.

c) registering for a dating website and marrying the first person you meet.

3. You wake up in the morning and dread going to work. You

c) quit your job and apply online to seven different graduate programs.

4. You take up a new hobby. It’s

c) a cockroach, a pile of unopened bills, and a $300 vintage comic book you ordered on eBay when you were drunk last week.

Mostly b): You’re not in crisis, yet, but you’re starting to show some signs. Time to think about a five-year plan.
Mostly c): You’re in full-blown Quarterlife Crisis–mode. Immediately get to a shrink, and hang tight: the storm will eventually pass.
