Abstract

Quarter life crisis has become a rising concept on modern research because of the growing emphasis on the struggles our youth is facing. This has been a more prominent topic for research with the current global health pandemic and our country’s continuous lockdown. The researchers used a qualitative research design to uncover the meaning of quarter-life crisis from the respondents and to give their experiences and developmental processes in their lives. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. The sample size of this study was five and was young adults aged 25 to 26. Four main themes emerged from the data in relation to occurrences of a quarter-life crisis amidst the pandemic. The quarter life crisis is a stage in which individuals between the ages of mid 20s to early 30s experience a period of uncertainty and questioning and often feel trapped or uninspired especially during this global health crisis.
