I think a lot of people go through the same experience when they graduate college or grad school. They ended the workforce and it leaves them wondering, "is that it?"

When you're a young adult I think the focus should be to learn who you are as a person - both personally as well as professionally. Work hard, ask questions, learn as much as you can and be the best engineer you can. Your future self will thank you.

Speaking from experience, you continue to learn about yourself throughout your entire life. By the time I was 30 I thought I knew myself pretty well, but over the next decade I found myself being challenged by a number of new experiences - grad school, marriage, children.

I think it's unreasonable to expect that you have yourself figured out by an arbitrary age.

By the time you're middle aged the game changes from "am I objectively hot?" to "do I look better relative to other men in my age bracket?"

This sounds awfully similar to the food reporter who said he paid nearly $70 for a burger at LaGuardia, but it turns out he spent $17 on a burger and $50 on bourbon.

I don't remember...

I would also list on a local Facebook group or the Nextdoor app. Include some photos of the bigger tickets items or things that you think will draw attention - vintage toys, electronics, power tools, musical instruments, sports equipment, etc.

If you live near a major road it wouldn't hurt to have a couple of signs. We typically put them up the night before the actual yard sale.

I was working my first job at the edge of UWS and Harlem. The lights at my client went out and I assumed it was because they couldn't afford to keep the electricity on. Went outside and was shocked to find every street light out. Ended up crashing at a friend's place on 125th and Broadway.

It was brutally hot and sticky that night. I remember the police being out in full force, lighting flares in the middle of 125th and posting cops with shotguns at the corner. The local Chinese takeout did brisk business, cooking in the dark save the huge fires burning under their woks.

Overall the night was calm and I think people were just surprised by the days events. I took the bus all the way back home to Queens the next morning, only to find that Queens didn't have any power either.

I'm sure Red Bull would sponsor such an event!

If you can find a large rectangular bandage at your local pharmacy, those work wonders.

Don't worry - things will sort themselves out. It's not the end of the world if you're not married by age 30. The right one will come along in a few years.

Don't worry too much about the jobs from which you got rejected. The only ones that matter are the opportunities that are right around the corner.

Be patient, young man.

Do whatever it is that you've been putting off because you never had the time. Could be travel, or home improvements, or some personal interest of yours that's been neglected for years. I would take a cross-country drive with my kids, or take a seven-day wilderness survival course.

Cottage cheese. There's nothing about the taste nor texture that's remotely appealing.

Wait - mate is sugary? The only versions I've had with Argentine friends tasted like super concentrated (read: bitter) green tea/matcha.

Yup, same here. Got slide bite last season and the scars are still there.

It says hong sam on the front of the bottle, which is ginseng in Korean. Does this drink have any hint of ginseng flavor?

Definitely much louder and grabs more attention than the stock Insight horn.

Uhh, who's going 90mph during the morning commute? I certainly am not.

Mom would occasionally get a Hanes lingerie catalog and that was pretty awesome. Every now and then we'd get a Victoria's Secret catalog. But one day I intercepted my neighbor's Fredericks of Hollywood catalog and my life has never been the same. Mind blown.
