Quarter-life crisis

Have any of you experienced the Quarter-Life Crisis yet?  I think I experienced mine about two weeks into my first real job out of college.  All those years of staying up late, study groups, and term papers to earn as many A's and B's as possible and graduate with a GPA above a 3.0.  All of that hard work for--this?  Really?  To sit in a cubicle and do almost the same thing at work every day?  Why did I work so hard to make that A in my Organizational Management and Theory class?  Why did I ever fret over a C in Philosophy?

It was a real let down--the second week into a job working for this organization is all I ever wanted since I was probably 13-years-old.

What I wouldn't do to get back all of those years of unecessary over-achieving.
