Is there a crisis when you turn 20?? So I'm turning 20 soon, and I don't like the idea of not being a teen anymore. So I spoke with some friends that are already there (lol) and they told me that they got this crisis where they are like "oh, man, what am I doing with my life?" and stuff. Hopefully that won't happen to me! But I would like to now, did you get a crisis??

Is there a crisis when you turn 20??

So I'm turning 20 soon, and I don't like the idea of not being a teen anymore. So I spoke with some friends that are already there (lol) and they told me that they had this crisis where they are like "oh, man, what am I doing with my life?" and stuff.

Hopefully that won't happen to me! But I would like to know, did you have a crisis??


Your english is wonderful! In America people look forward to turning 20 because it means you're one year closer to being able to drink lol. It must be a cultural thing! So, if you ever come here being 20 is the perfect age so don't be upset!!

Excellent writing sample! Your English is incredible. A few corrections:

Is there a crisis when you turn 20??  (Understandable, but this sounds rather passive.)

Will I have a quarter-life crisis when I turn 20? 

So (fine for casual speech, but not in a written sample) I'm turning 20 soon, and I don't like the idea of not being a teen anymore  leaving my teenage years behind. 

So I spoke with some friends that are already there (lol) and they told me that they got this crisis where they are like "oh, man, what am I doing with my life?" and stuff.  they are having an existential crisis of sorts. For example, they feel that they should have accomplished more in their lives for their respective age. 

Hopefully that won't happen to me! (Why? Whenever you make a strong statement, back it up with a reason. Does it make you feel old? Closer to death? Does the idea of not accomplishing something in your life scare you? Tell the reader!) But I would like to now know, did you experience a quarter-life crisis?
