Hah, I had similar sorts of thoughts when I turned 25. Even now I wonder about how I thought I'd be by this time - married and going to graduate school and making big bucks. But I've just no interest in that anymore, at least not at this point in life. Twenty-five gets to feel like a huge number, once it happens. In my case, anyway.
At the same time, I gotta say that turning twenty-five made me want to be an adult a little bit more. Sure, even now and again I feel a bit weird about spending at least thirty percent of my free time discussing or watching stuff like anime, but...I dunno. You can still have fun at any age. I find that thinking too much about my previous expectations does not much more than either make me laugh or bring me down, so I just focus on now.
And that'd be my advice to you. Forget what you used to hope for, think about what you want now. Feel free to ignore this of course.
