50 Crucial Questions Every Woman Needs To Ask Herself Before She Turns 25

By Kovie Biakolo,
At 25, the concept of a “quarter-life crisis” has inundated the young adult masses. Sometimes received with humor, and other times viewed as somewhat of a pejorative and leading to self-deprecating puns. Notwithstanding life-altering events that may occur at any age, ages that have a 5 or 9 tend to cause people to go through a mental re-check (and sometimes to do some Carpe Diem sort of things). Although we often say life is short, and in the grand scheme of things, it is, life is also long. It is quite literally the longest thing you will ever do. And at 25, you’ve lived a quarter century – that’s a big deal. And maybe some self-reflection before then is due.
