but im trying to act more like an adult, which is sad but we kind of have to do it to get ahead

happy birthday OP!
 
Wow OP.

Today is my 26th B Day too, and the lack of career path has me on nerves too.

I haven't celebrated a birthday in years, but today I'm going to some nerf gun place with several aquatinaces and a few friends. I'm excited to forget about work

I turned 26 a couple months ago. Welcome to the club, old timer. The last big bday party I had was when I turned 22 I think. After that it just felt meh, so I just do a family dinner now.

So today I turned 26 years old and now I officially no longer feel like a kid, which scares the hell out of me.

I feel like I should have accomplished something by now and I have not. I am engaged to my boyfriend of 3 years and we are planning to get married, but I still don't know what I want as far as a career since Best Buy is not permanent. I mean I like it and it's nearby but the pay structure is abysmal.

I am going to have a party tomorrow with friends and family but feel like it might be the last crazy party I have. Growing up sucks!

Atleast I look and feel good about myself compared to when I was half my age and hated myself and life.

Anyone else felt this way when they reached a certain age?

Happy Birthday!

Also, congrats on the engagement! I just turned 25 and I feel like I should have dine something with my life but you know, we're still young enough that there is plenty of time to do that something. It's never too late.

You have boyfriend? job? friends and family and look good? then you have so much to be thankful, very good that you are stressed out about the things you want to achieve, but believe me,you already have a lot never forget to enjoy the little things while you work on bigger goals.
sometimes life is not about achievments but about something more meaningful,
i learned that the hard way.
 
I wouldn't worry. I'm 25 in Feb next year, I earn £400 a month (thanks, apprenticeship system UK!) but finally got a job in my ideal field so I can't wait to see where it goes. I think at the end of the day life is one of those things which no matter how much we think it is, it isn't controllable. We just float through it and it works out.

Don't worry! Enjoy what comes, happy birthday and good luck with your fiancé!
 
Happy birthday!

Why do you "no longer feel like a kid"? Is that something you genuinely feel or is it something you only think you should feel?

You have a ton of things going for you. A family, a boyfriend, a job, and undoubtedly people who love you. I understand that a quarter-life crisis is a thing but I think today of all days should be spent counting your blessings and being thankful for sticking around for another year.

You can still do whatever you want without the fear of being too old for it. I just recently "discovered" I like to do a lot of shit now that I thought was boring as a kid (museums, etc.), but more than thinking "man I'm old", I think "wow, this shit has been really cool all this time!" I treat it as a time of discovery and excitement in finding interest in learning new things rather than thinking I'm becoming an old geezer.
 
Enjoy. Tomorrow you'll be 30. Time flies by so quickly the older you get. Sucks.
 
Happy birthday!

I'm nearing thirty and still in the same boat. What I'm good at (writing) doesn't pay well, and my mental illness keeps me from being able to do full-time employment. But disability doesn't pay that well.
