How to Survive the Dreaded Quarter-Life Crisis

EVEsdropping

Elise is turning 25 this week, so the quarter-life crisis feels are running high on our team. We’re talking what the quarter-life crisis is, what triggers it, and how to just not give a shit. Plus, we’re giving our humble opinions on Lindsay Lohan’s new lifestyle site, Kylie and Kendall’s blatant disrespect for musical icons, and Bachelor in Paradise’s future (as always).

What’s Happening in the News?

Lindsay Lohan launched a lifestyle site and it costs $2.99 a month. Kylie & Kendall Jenner put their faces over a bunch of musical legends on T-shirts.
Sharon Osbourne was NOT having it. http://www.refinery29.com/2017/06/161306/kendall-kylie-vintage-shirts-black-culture-appropriation?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=post
Bachelor in Paradise will show Corrine and DeMario before the incident + discuss what happened when the show premieres.

Real Talk: The Quarter-Life Crisis is Happening

What are the triggers?

Love life. Whether you’re single or in a long-term relationship without being engaged, the pressure is there. JUST LET ME LIVE. Friendships. Your friends are either on baby #2 or they’re still partying 4 nights a week. There is no in-between. Work. Not making as much as you’d like? Maybe you’re thinking about going back to school? Who tf knows what they want to do when they grow up?? Finances: 401k, IRA, emergency fund, credit score blah blah blah. Basically you’re too old to ask your parents for money anymore.

YOUR BODY. Weight gain. Cellulite. Spider veins. Wrinkles. It’s all happening right fucking now. Also less energy and a harder time losing weight.

Meleah: the worst part for me is that I’m old/mature enough to know that I shouldn’t care about these things… but I STILL CARE OKAY.

Dear HBIC

“So I have two friends-slash-acquaintances who are pregnant. They’re both friends of friends (one of them is my boyfriend’s best friend’s wife). Well, a mutual friend is texting me asking what I think about throwing them a joint surprise baby shower since they are both having boys and they are due around the same time in like September or October. I really feel like she’s trying to get me to volunteer my house for this but liiiiiike….is it my responsibility to throw these people a baby shower??????? I feel like I know them well enough to GO to their baby shower, but I’m not sure I feel close enough to them to be the one who is hosting it. Plus she’s wanting to do it at the end of August, which is going to be a CRAZY time for me since I’ll have just quit my job to start grad school. Oh and not to mention i’m going to be broke af. Because grad school. Our answer: That’s weird AF. Tell her no. Make an excuse. Do what you have to do. But that’s just weird for everyone involved -- and it sounds like you have better shit to do.

Would You Rather…

Live to the age of 90 and retain the mind of a 25-year-old for the last 65 years of your life, or the body of a 25-year old for the last 65 years of your life?

What We’re Loving This Week

Meleah: Follow up on “what we’re loving” from two weeks ago: GLOW rocks. This week, I’m loving secondhand fast fashion. Forever 21 clothes at Goodwill prices? Yes plz. Elise: My new notebook from The Crybaby Club. It says “I may cry but I can still get things done” and it was my birthday gift from Meleah and Christine. <3 <3 <3

Boss/Adulting Moment

Elise: I am going on VACATION!!! Not really an adulting or boss moment but it’s currently the only thing going on in my life. Meleah: I woke up early this a.m. and then I did dishes because the sink was full. That’s either called being crazy or adulting so I choose adulting.
