\"quarter<\/a>Quarter Life Poetry: Poems for the Young, Broke and Hangry<\/a><\/strong><\/em> by Samantha Jayne is a poetry collection for the disheartened, for the hungry, for the post-college 20-somethings who really thought they would have their life completely together by now. In other words, while reading this book, I felt like it was written for me. This is a book of comedic poetry, one that poses short, amusing, and remarkably light-hearted, sarcastic\u00a0comments about life that we thought we would have figured out by now.<\/p>\n

Samantha Jayne is an actress and writer who lives out in Los Angeles.\u00a0One of the things she\u00a0has become\u00a0famous for\u00a0are her popular Tumblr and Instagram accounts, Quarter Life Poetry<\/a>, <\/em>where she posts snappy four-lined poems about her life as a 20-something post-college. She has poems paired with related images on topics ranging from work, money, sex, life, student loans, love, and any\/every other challenge that people going through life post-college are faced with on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Jayne’s poetry really captures what it’s like when you find out that yet another one of your friends in pregnant while you’re just trying to keep a plant alive, how you feel trying to pay off your student loans while working a 40 hour a week job that doesn’t allow for much of a social life, and also how it feels to be stuck in a dating scene with what seems like\u00a0the less than desirables\u00a0right after college. Jayne perfectly illustrates the fact that students in college think life post-college is glamorous, when in reality,\u00a0the post-college adults know that being in your 20s is really all about just trying to find yourself amongst piles of student loan debt, cheap take-out, and the more-than-occasional trip to the store to buy more wine. While this book was marketed towards post-college 20-somethings, it is a quick, short read that people of all ages can enjoy as they reminisce on their post-college life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
