Mid 20's crisis!!!!!!!!

Okay I am 25 and I guess I am having a crisis. I will be 26 in November and I feel like I haven't lived it up as much as I would have liked during my 20's. In college I didn't got out to bars and clubs much, but I am thinking maybe I should start living it up a little bit more before I hit 30 and become to old to do all the stuff people do in their 20's. Anyone else around my age feel the same way or had the same feelings?  What would you all suggest I do to live it up?  I don't do drugs or random sex though lol. 

My friends said I was weird and a loser for not really being into the club  and bar scene during my colege years....... lol.

If you have a group of friends that you are close to just hang out with them and build memories with them that you can talk about and remember for the rest of your life.

I mean you can go out to bars/clubs and do that but don't worry about it.

As far as clubs go....the only reason people go there is to showcase their bodies for the opposite sex.....if you aren't single then you have no reason to go really.

Ah yes, the ol' quarter life crisis.

Welp, there goes my suggestion.

Do you want to do those things or do you feel you need to do those things?

When I was 25, my quarter-life crisis wasn't that I had not "lived it up" enough -- rather, I was dissapointed that I had not achieved enough in my career at that point. We're all different when it comes to motivations, so what's good for me may not be so much for you, but then again, I've never put much stock in the "YOLO" lifestyle that many follow these days.

This is probably a result of you not getting out much, but you probably haven't noticed the demographics of people walking around the late-night venues.  Or, perhaps, noticing every major entertainment industry that's putting a renewed emphasis on higher-class experiences?  Bowling alleys, arcades, movie theaters, entire districts "main streets" devoted to nothing but restaurants, bakeries, shopping, etc. Trust me when I say that not doing this stuff in your 20's means nothing.  Literally, nothing.  Most of the people taking advantage of those destinations (or are demanding the quality of typical entertainment be upgraded) are in their 30's. 

 I can tell you from experience that Brunswick Zone, typically known for kids birthday parties and skee-ball, has remodeled many of their locations to attract the late 20's, 30's crowd.  I just helped my firm, known for commercial/entertainment, design the prototype for their flagship location.  The lanes are split down the middle by a raised bar that goes all the way back to the setters.  Hard wood flooring, leather couches/recliners, darker tones/lighting, designated smoking lanes, sit-down restaurants with coffered ceilings, etc.  No arcade.  Same goes for Red Robins, Smash Burger, Chick-Fil-A, frozen yogurt boutiques, etc. 

 Entire industries are realizing they need to cater to a more "sophisticated" crowd.  By "sophisticated" I mean less children, or no children, with a little extra disposable income.  Yes, the economy is pretty stagnant but that means everything I just explained makes more sense.  People want to spend what little extra money they have on entertainment that isn't punctured by the wailing of screaming children, dirty and smoke-filled venues, and shitty food.

 So don't worry.  The 30's, in this generation, will be the best part of your life.  Look forward to it.

Honestly dude, clubs are nothing to go crazy about

Ah yes, the ol' quarter life crisis.

Did you at least make progress in your career? Cause clubbing doesn't mean shitbobaban

Well you're in your 20's so if I were you, I guess I would try to go to another country, take up a new hobby, take some community college classes to learn a langauge or something that interests you, or, since you're under 30, try to join the military either as enlisted or officer. 

There are plenty of oppurtunities out there but don't waste it on clubbing.

Just live your life dude. There's no manual for what you need to do and by which age you need to do it by lol.

Try it once. You'll remember why you didn't want to do it before.

do what i do, live paycheck to paycheck. blow your money on pointless things that will bring you joy for about 1 day to a week. and then move on to the next thing. don't regret the choices you make, that's for later in life.

y'all think i'm joking but i'm not. last week i pre-order both pokemon xy, dropped $80 on the mighty no. 9 kickstarter, and bought a couple meals on groupon. this week just started, so i haven't done anything yet. but i am going to a con this weekend, and i plan to just drink at the hotel bar.
