That point in your life where you begin to reimagine a new and improved you. With growing pains along the way. It’s like a crisis but better. Quarter-life reawakening
Did you see Kelly getting ready to publish that book detailing the ins and outs of her childhood trauma? She’s not having a quarter-life crisis. She’s having a quarter-life reawakening
1.) A time shortly after winter break (especially in the middle of third quarter) in which teachers realize they have done nothing productive the past semester and begin to cram to make up for lost time in the curriculum. This is a period of high stress and fatigue as now the victimized students have been slammed with double workload and have more homework and studying to do than ever.
2.) The effects of being under constant pressure and stress from heavy schoolwork. This may be anything from falling asleep in the middle of the hallway because you haven't slept in 36 hours to losing 6 pounds because of not eating, both because you haven't had time to do either.
(Note: the term is merely named for when it is most likely to occur, but can pertain to any period of being overworked and overstressed.)
Example 1
Elle: Uggghhh! I've got third quarter syndrome, and I've got it bad.
Ari: Me too. What are your symptoms?
Elle: Well, I can't use any rare pocket of free time I have on anything but sleep.
Ari: What do you mean?
Elle:....I fell asleep in the middle of Kohl's yesterday.
Example 2
Fenton: Hey bro, you want to hang out this weekend?
Robbie: Dude. You know I have AP classes and it's past winter break. I don't have time, I've got two chapter reviews, two book reports, an essay, and a five minute speech. Worst third quarter syndrome ever!
Fenton: Alright, alright, chill out!
Robbie: *Combusts*
Example 3:
Amanda: Are you taking Ms. Hanson's class this year?
Jamie: Yeah, it's a lot of work. I'm starting to work up a case of third quarter syndrome
Amanda: Seriously! We're in the middle of the first semester, but I feel like we're having third quarter daily!
When you look at someone you just don’t like. A person with that asshole demeanor you just want to put them in a wrestling move and squeeze every last breath out of them.
Hey Dante, look at that Cockface Quarter Nelson.
What a Cockface Quarter Nelson.
The natural increase of homework and difficulty in classes throughout the year, peaking near the end of the third quarter. This is due to the increase in difficulty of the curriculum and the compilation and compounding of concepts. The peak comes before review for finals, when the last few sections of material for class are given to students.
Also, many projects and term papers are given or due near the third quarter peak.
My grades gradually dropped as a result of the third quarter effect this year.
I can't get into college because the third quarter effect ruined my GPA!
Similar to the mid-life crisis, but happens around the early twenties. This particularly affects college students who just got a whole heaping helping of reality thrust upon them. Signs of a quarter life crisis may include: Constant tears, staring into an abyss of emptiness trying to figure out your life, incessant muttering, an unwilling impulse to curl up in the fetal position, and that crazy pot head in high school just became a parent and you can't stop thinking you will be next.
1. --What's the matter with Shannon?
--Her parents are making her pay for college.
--OOoooohhhh. That's why she's in the fetal position muttering money.
2. --Where's Jeremy?
--His girlfriend got pregnant so he's taking care of her.
--Jeremy?!? The guy who did twenty shots before the final?
--Yeah. Makes you wish you were back in middle school.
--Come off your Quarter-life crisis. middle school sucked.

My three-quarter-sibling is a good person.
The period of life during the mid-20s when you realise you've not nearly accomplished as many things as you had expected by now due to changed demographics between your parent's time.
Examples include:
Struggling to find a job due to lack of experience.
Single and still ready to mingle.
University debt hanging over you.
Living at home unable to even dream about getting on the property ladder.
Realising you don't have enough time to enjoy any money you do have.
Starting to get wrinkles/grey hair/balding.
Realising adulthood isn't all its cracked up to be.
A transitional time between the fun of the late teens and the responsibility of adulthood.
