Demi Bang talks about having a Quarter-Life Crisis in her early 20s.

I’m Having a Quarter-Life Crisis!

13 September 2020 | College + Career, Lifestyle, Personal

I’m Having a Quarter-Life Crisis!

13 September 2020

Someone, please tell me that quarter-life crises are a thing! I had to do some self-reflection a week ago after we came back from Sedona. I was having a quarter-life crisis. For a few days, I was very sensitive and I would cry just about everything and anything.

Demi Bang talks about having a Quarter-Life Crisis in her early 20s.

Shortly after graduating, I was so weirded out how I wasn’t a college student anymore. Whenever someone asks me what I do, I couldn’t tell them I’m a student. “I’m a recent college graduate but I’m working at a consulting firm doing marketing.” At what point do I stop telling people that I’m a recent college grad? When does ‘recent‘ no longer become relevant?

It was a new adjustment.

Luckily now, I’m just going with the flow and I try not to overthink things. When I feel like it’s no longer relevant to say I’m a recent college grad, I will stop. Eventually, I want to go back to school for an MBA in either Marketing or Public Relations. I’m not ready to let go of my title student yet!

I’m no longer a student!

These past two weeks, I don’t think I’ve ever been so wishy-washy about my career. I know I’m still pretty young – I’m 23 for those who don’t know. People always tell me that it’s okay if I’m unsure of what I want.

Not many people my age start on their career yet – even Tyler didn’t start his career until he was 26! He took some time after college to play golf professionally. After that didn’t work out, he went into Investment Banking.

I think I’ve always known what I wanted to do since I was 12. Of course, there would be some moments where I was confused – do I go into the medical field? You know, Asian parents – you have three options and it’s either lawyer, doctor, or engineer. I didn’t want to go into the medical field because I once dated this jerk who told me that I needed to become a doctor in order to be ‘successful‘. Pfft, success is so subjective.

Also, at one point during my first year of college, I had this idea of going into Computer Science. Obviously that didn’t happen but I do know Java!

I knew deep down that I wanted to go into Marketing or Public Relations.

At 12 years old, I remembered being so fascinated with influencer marketing. I would even develop marketing strategies too, haha. I loved to pretend that I owned a beauty company and I would scout out YouTubers I would ask to review my products. This was all before the term ‘influencer‘ was a thing and before influencer marketing. Who knew I liked to scout out influencers?

Additionally, I loved pitching. I landed my first sponsored video when I was 13 years old. I would pitch to so many beauty companies because I wanted all the makeup in the world. Now looking back, why would anyone trust a 13-year-old! I didn’t know that it was considered Marketing and/or Public Relations. One thing I did know was that I loved it!

Recently, I’ve been going back and forth. Do I want to go into Marketing or do I want to go into Public Relations? Do I want to work in-house or at an agency? Should I go full-time with my blog?

I had this crazy idea to go full-time with my blog.

It’s not too crazy, but just a bit. Of course, I’m not saying that you’re crazy if you go full-time with your blog! I just don’t think it’s right for me yet. I’ve thought about this long and hard – trust me. There are so many benefits to working full-time for a large company, such as PTO, health benefits, 401k matching, etc.

I listened to The Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast and Lauryn said that if you know what you want to do, then become a bartender or a pilates instructor to keep yourself afloat while you work on your business. My theory is a bit different.

For me, I don’t have that big of a social media audience yet and I don’t really blog regularly. Before I can make the leap, I need to make sure that my blog is stable. I also want to have a few years of experience under my belt so if my blog doesn’t work out, I wouldn’t have to start at an entry-level job. I have always wanted to work in an office setting and be part of the C-Suite.

As I mentioned earlier, I do want to go for my MBA in the next few years. Even if I don’t end up using it, I still want to be able to say I did it and I tried.

My Game Plan for Post-Graduate

I’ve decided that this is my game plan for the next couple of years – in terms of career.

First, work. Haha, I will die from excitement if I get to work at an agency. I’ve heard from friends in the industry that working at an agency is no joke. It’s a lot of work at a super-fast pace – bring it on. From there, I still need to figure out if I want to go into Marketing or Public Relations. I think Public Relations suits me and my personality a bit better.

Once I find a job in Public Relations at an agency, I’ll work there for 3-5 years before applying to grad schools. Perhaps I will find a company that will help with tuition reimbursement.

Next, become a titan in Public Relations!

Just thinking about this gets me so excited! I mentioned this a while ago, but a huge part of me wanted to move to New York. After thinking about it, New York can’t provide me the lifestyle that I want. I want a charming house with a backyard. I think the reason why I wanted to move to New York so badly is to say that ‘I’ve made it‘.

To me, New York embodies this idea of success – by the words of Alicia Keys, ‘if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.’ I’ll write a more in-depth blog post about this. It’s a long self-reflection.

I feel like I’m going on a tangent right now, so I will stop! I’m confused as to where I want to spend the rest of my life but Arizona is so beautiful and is growing at a fast-pace. I don’t really have much to complain about Phoenix, but I think one of these days, I’m just going to pack up and jump into the unknown. Does anyone else feel that way?

I suppose this is my current game plan:

  1. Work at a big Public Relations firm
  2. Buy a townhome
  3. Get an MBA
  4. Get engaged/married (Tyler said Q2 of 2021, hehe)
  5. Work until my brain is fried
  6. Live Happily Ever After
Haha, thank you for reading about my quarter-life crisis.

I think quarter-life crises aren’t only applicable to those in their early to mid-20s, or maybe mid-20s to early 30s. It’s more so when a big life change happens. For me, that was when I graduate college and realize that I’m no longer a student and have to focus on the whole world of adulting.

Today is my last day as a barista and it’s been so bittersweet! I started working at the coffee shop on the weekends in November 2022. As someone who loves coffee, I wanted to learn how to make coffee at home so I figured what better way to learn than by working at a coffee shop! I’ve learned so much in the past eight months and have met so many wonderful people in so many different stages in their life. ☕️

Both of my parents are first-generation Americans. 🇺🇸 My dad fled his homeland at a very young age, lived around the world before he was able to come to America at 18 years old. My mom’s oldest siblings were sponsored by a family in the US and she was then able to come over to America when she was 14.

Hearing their story of what it’s like to live in their homeland makes me appreciate America and what this country has to offer. ❤️
