Crisis I suffer from

Posted: April 16th, 2009 | Author: Moey | Filed under: Amman, Jordan | Tags: | 9 Comments »

According to Wikipedia (Which is like god to me, I believe everything I read there… almost):

  • feeling “not good enough” because one can’t find a job that is at one’s academic / intellectual level
  • frustration with relationships, the working world, and finding a suitable job or career
  • confusion of identity
  • insecurity regarding the near future
  • insecurity concerning long-term plans, life goals
  • insecurity regarding present accomplishments
  • re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships
  • disappointment with one’s job
  • nostalgia for university, college, high school or elementary school life
  • tendency to hold stronger opinions
  • boredom with social interactions
  • loss of closeness to high school and college friends
  • financially-rooted stress (overwhelming college loans, unanticipatedly high cost of living, etc.)
  • loneliness
  • desire to have children
  • a sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than you

Akh… I suffer from the ones in Bold.

I keep asking myself, Am I still suffering from this crisis? maybe… I’m not feeling “not good enough” anymore.

I’m thinking again… is it really a crisis that I was/am going through? Yes, it does feel alarming that I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and all that.

But, I reached a level where I got bored of coloring my hair… I took 75% of my piercings off let’s say, and I wear formal… I don’t know!


Funky Arabs…

I agree with Roba.


Cereal

I was shocked to know that a serving of most standard cereals is 3/4 of a cup.

That doesn’t quite fill up a bowl, and I can’t think of anyone who would actually *not* fill the bowl up with cereal first. It says up to 13 servings on average in a box on the side?

I think it comes down to about 5 bowls for me. No wonder I’m fat. Probably doesn’t help that I use chocolate milk too. Cinnamon Toast Crunch rocks.
