Any advice on surviving a quarter-life crisis?

What an excellent question. The fact that you recognize this crisis and are trying to solve it suggests that you will be successful. Your idea of asking older, wiser people is great, but I think you'd do better to ask face-to-face. Do you have grandparents to ask? Aunts or uncles? Family friends?
Realize that what seem to be insurmountable problems now may well turn into little bumps in the road when you look back at them in 30 years or so.
Good luck, and I know you'll find your answer.

Don't look at it as a crisis but a chance for change to a new path of life. What type of crisis would both someone as young as you, i.e., loss of romance, loss of job, death of loved one, etc.? Life has its ups and downs and with focus most people can survive to enjoy a path of happiness and fulfillment.
Depend on your friends and family for help. Honest discussions with an open ear for ideas really helps. I know my friends and family have been there through many criseses over the decades I have been alive.
Take each day at a time, finding somethng good to celebrate at the end of the day. Cry if needed because that cleanses the soul. Realize "this too will pass" because life is worth the frustrations brought on by change.

Sit back and look at all you have accomplished so far...your family, your friends...set some goals and make up your mind that you are going to change what you feel needs to be changed. In everything, always be thankful!
I had a major quarter life crisis, and after I sobered up, I took one day at a time. Don't worry about things that you cannot control!
Good Luck!

Listen, im not that old but i have heard many preach and I feel my views through my own thoughts. Listen, I have never really believed in a certain religion so far but I have chosen to live upon my own which has really help me through a lot. Every morning, you should believe that you are going to have a better day continuously. No matter what life may through at you, you should continue to be positive on the future. God helped Jesus walk on water, and he has done supernatural things. God is living in the sidelines of your life, and he looks over you. God is like one of those GPS things in your car, no matter how far off track you may get, the GPS will still always find a way; no matter any wrong turn you may take, your GPS will still create a new route to your goal. God is in control of your life and will always help you find a way. Just continue to believe in him and keep hope, and that will open up the new doors laid in store for you in the future. Whenever things go really badly, and it feels like everything in the world in against you, you should wake up the next morning and still say, "Something good is going to happen today," You should be more dedicated to your life, live and enjoy the little things that gives you enjoyment. I would watch the stars or listen to the rippling waters to help me remember that god is watching over me. If you continue to say, "Well, I pray everyday and nothing changes," you are just hurting yourself. Remember that God is in control, be the Victor and not the victim of your life, and live every day as if there isnt going to be a tommorow, and if you do this, I believe that you will live the life of victory god has in store for you.

Life itself is a crisis. It sounds like you have been fortunate until now. My best advice is to remind you that you can truly tell who someone is by their grace when a stressful situation arises. It helps to remember this when you are about to lose your cool.

Don't use graduate school as a way to deal with it unless you have a pretty good idea what you want to do something with the degree you are planning to get. Otherwise grad school is a very expensive way of putting off decision making.

The greastest advice anyone could receive is to pray for power from on high (God). The lord can fix any problem and bring you through any crisis. Apart from him you can do nothing on your own strength.

Just remember things always look better after you have slept on it and rehash it the next day. Take life one day at a time and always thank god for each day you awake alive and see the sun shine.

Reevaluate what is important to you and what your priorities are. At your age, life is really just beginning.
