9 Trader Joe's Wines Under $10 To Pair With Your Quarter Life Existential Crisis

I'm pretty sure every 20-something has experienced that inevitable quarter life panic where you realize that you have no idea what you're doing with your life, you still haven't figured out who you're going to be when you grow up, and you feel all the stress all the time.

Right now, that's me and that's been me for the last four years. I changed my major six times, changed schools, changed extracurriculars and social circles, and I still have no idea what I'm doing.

But one thing has remained the same through it all: wine.

Being a broke-ass millennial, I like my wine cheap. Not all cheap wine is good and you deserve the best when you're crying on a Tuesday. Plus, these are all under $10 at Trader Joe's.

1. Pacific Grove Barrel Fermented Chardonnay

Price: $5.99

Pairing: popcorn

Buttery wine + buttery popcorn = winning combo.

2. Prophecy Sauvignon Blanc

Price: $9.99

Pairing: Cheez-itz

Wine with cheese and crackers is obviously a classic pairing, but I'm too exhausted from my constant state of stress for that kind of effort.

3. Trader Joe's Grower's Reserve Zinfandel

Price: $4.99

Pairing: Indian takeout

TREAT. YO. SELF.

4. Velvet Moon Cabernet Sauvignon

Price: $5.99

Pairing: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

If you think about it, wine is basically fruit, so this basically counts as a PB&J.

5. Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling

Price: $6.99

Pairing: Sour Patch Kids

So you know how Sour Patch Kids are sour and then sweet? This wine is kinda the opposite, so they're a perfect pair.

6. Green Fin Red Table Wine

Price: $3.99

Pairing: leftover pizza

I feel like the existence of table wine implies that there's also bed and couch wine, right??

7. Liberté Pinot Noir

Price: $9.99

Pairing: PB&J

Something about a good fruity red and a PB&J just works. Maybe it's the jam, but who knows. Just like I have no idea what I'm doing.

8. Josefina Rosé

Price: $5.99

Pairing: cookie dough ice cream

When you pair a pint of ice cream with wine, it qualifies as a meal.

9. Les Portes de Bordeaux Rosé

Price: $6.99

Pairing: Cool Ranch Doritos

I don't know why this works. I just know that it's f*cking delicious.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
