NO, I'm NOT Dead... A Very Merry UN-Birthday and a GIVEAWAY!

Before I get to the GIVEAWAY...you have to read this shit...

I AM completely having like a Mid-Mid (New Psychological Term?) Life Crisis...

I will be 25 on the 30th of this month. That's right I was born in 1985 on the 30th of September and I am FREAKING out.  Where have the last 25 years gone?

I mean, I am nowhere near where I dreamed I was supposed to be at 25. I have an Associates and working on my BA... I'm literally one class and one internship away, BUT I'm not sure if it's what I want to do anymore. I can't really start over because I'm DAMN near 30 AND I'm already ass deep in student loans. Like, to the point where when I graduate, I should just work for  SALLIE MAE (that BITCH) and Direct Loans.

I completely and utterly hate my job, to the point where people at my job are starting to realize that I JUST DON'T GIVE A FUCK via the hypnotized dude from "Office Space".  <<< Great movie...if you have never seen it, you're insane, especially if you work in a cage (cubicle) like I do. You need to rent it.

I have a tattoo that says, "Free Spirit", but I am completely NOT living up to it.  I feel like my wings have been clipped. *Picture me rocking back and forth in my cube biting my nails.*

So, I am not celebrating my Birthday this year, because, I don't fuckin' want to BUT,  I am going to have a Giveaway.  What better way to NOT celebrate than give something away to someone else?

What is the prize? Something everyone could use of course!

*Drum Roll Puuhhlease!*
An Amazon.com Gift Card in the amount of $20!

Yes, celebrate, because Amazon is internet shopping heaven. You didn't know? There's not one thing that I have looked for on Amazon.com that I couldn't find

It ain't much, but it's $20 that you didn't have before biatches!

Here are the rules:

1. You have to be a follower: yes, I AM bribing you.

2. I want you to E-mail (thedateexperiment(at) gmail (dot) com) me a "Bucket List"...my list will be things that I need to do before I'm 30, it can be a list of things you should do before whatever age that you think is a milestone (30, 40, 50 etc.) or  before you die, before you finish school...you get the idea; things to do before you have reached some milestone that you feel is important in your life.

3. At LEAST 10 things on the list SLACKERS.

4. You have until Monday, the 27th of September! I will post the winner's List on my blog with a link to your blog or website on Wednesday the 29th of September, if you have one...

5. In your submission E-mail, please include:
  • Your name and age
  • The email address that you want the Amazon Gift Card sent to, in the event that you win.
  • The link and name of the blog or page that you want posted on my page if you win
  • Don't forget to title your list.  Example: "My list of things to do before I go insane in my cubicle one day" or "My list of things I should do before I turn 90/Die"
So, there you have it folks.  I'm posting my list sometime this week, so check back. I hope to receive lots of entries!

Remember, send them to thedateexperiment@gmail.com!

Good luck!!

Questions? Drop them in the comments and I'll get back to you ASAP! AND it would be awful helpful if you spread the word about the GIVEAWAY!!!

Toodles Biatches!

Ciaooo Jazz!!! We have the same age! Well I will be 25 on Oct. 21 and I know exactly how you feel. well almost exactly, I don't have a job that I hate with every vein in my body. But I did quit my studies, because I had enough of doing stuff I didn't want to do and was doing for others. A lot of people did ask me why, because it was the last phase, my thesis, but I just couldn't do it anymore. And you know immediately when you have to stop something! You just need to have the courage to do so. Illustrating is my passion and I can make a living out of it, but it is hard work. I'm willing to work hard. Don't get me started on student loans -_-

Don't bite your pretty nails please :)

Oooh I was planning to do a give away as well for my birthday. I'm not in the mood in celebrating my birthday either, but there are other factors that play a part in this as well.

There is a phenomenon called a quarter life crisis and we fit it. Doing a bunch of stuff at college and then suddenly BAM it hits you...you're 25 and you're not doing what you want to do and you feel like you're running out of time! Well the thing is we still have plenty of time ahead of us, it's just that stupid society makes us feel that we haven't and that we need to accomplish our main goals by the time we get 30....the bastards.

Big hugs to you and if you wanna rant, I'm just an email away!

Good luck to all that enter the competition!!

Thanks TJ,

I needed that...LOL! Hmm...A quarter life-crisis. I feel like that is exactly what I'm going through. Next year, I'll be 26 and then I'm over the line to closer to being 30! I actually think I had a mild anxiety attack over this last week...

I know what you mean about stopping something and having courage to do it...I feel like if i quit, than I'm letting people down, even though they didn't pay for ANYTHING, but a desk job just isn't for me. I don't think it ever was.

Your illustrations are beautiful and unique...I know you'll succeed with them. I can't wait for your giveaway! I'm entering for sure...LOL! When I get over my crisis I still want you to design my next tattoo...
Yeah, letting others down was for me one of the biggest reasons why I kept on struggling with my study. It's really annoying! An anxiety attack! Be careful okay, in the end your health is more important and just try to pay no attention to what others expect of you. It helps to be surrounded by others who are in the same situation as you ;).

Oooh wow!! I would be soo honored to design your next tattoo ^_^!!

Thank you for your lovely words!!

First: Love Office Space
Second: Love Love LOVE Amazon!
Third: Would it be cheating if I emailed you my bucket list from my guest post on Jumble Mash yesterday? Personally, I think everyone should do the things on my list.....
Fourth: I went through the quarter-life crisis last year. It goes away pretty quickly after the actual birthday. Then I hit 26 and started worrying about 30 lol.

No, it won't be cheating...I can't ask you to RE-do a bucket list...LOL! Who doesn't love Amazon? I might die when I turn 26. How about I am actually running away on my Birthday? Renting a car and taking off because my friends are plotting on me!
LOL well awesome. I'll be sending that right over to ya! I hope you don't die when you turn 26.....let's just assume you'll die on an even number, so you've got at least until 27. I wish I could run away for a few days!
Happy Birthday! xo
Don't worry to much..Don't waste your life in doubts and fears..Live your days like the last one..imagine every day to be the last of a life surrounded with hopes, cares, not anger and fear..be more grateful that you're young. ... Live in each day.. breathe the air, be happy..love..drink ..and rock-n'-roll, baby! smiles.

Dy,
xo

My recent post Dear Twix
It will be okay girly, I went through the same thing when I turned 25. Now, I'm 28 years old and two years closer to the big 30! Now that I have experienced the flight of time, I try and enjoy every last moment. Career wise, you absolutely should not get discouraged. I recently got my Masters and now working on my doctorate. I will be repaying student loans for the rest of my life. But, on the upside, Im still living and I'm enjoying life. Believe me, you will drive yourself crazy thinking about the age dilemma, but we all have to get old some day. Just enjoy until then! best wishes!
