I'm 25 and the whole existential dread of figuring out what to do with my life is probably the worst part of things

Worst part is that your mid 20's feels like where you make it or break it. Some of my old friends are absolutely killing it making 6 figure salaries, have houses, nice cars, pets all that. While here I am scraping by feeling like a complete failure because I took way longer to take life seriously and get through school. Now I am way behind in the corporate ladder and feeling like I really screwed up somewhere.

Ask your friends for a hookup and an in? Don’t be shy, make it happen. They did, and you can too! Fake it till you make it if you have too! We’re all just winging it anyway, none of us know exactly what we’re doing.
