8 Famous Millennials And Their Unbelievable Accomplishments
Marie Claire

It always amazes me how much famous millennials accomplish at such as young age. Here I am, (not) studying for final exams and (not) finishing course projects for my second year of college, and there are people my age who work in multi-million dollar industries and have achieved so much.

Here are eight famous millennials who have taken the world by storm with their passion, talent, and creativity.

1. Zendaya, 19

This singer/actress/dancer/author/fashion icon is a force to be reckoned with. She has starred in two Disney Channel shows, released her first album and book in 2013, and is pushing the envelope with her unique and fierce style. Zendaya was also the youngest contestant ever on "Dancing with the Stars" during its sixteenth season (she was 16), and has since been announced as the newest CoverGirl.

2. Cara Delevingne, 23

This model turned actress has starred in numerous campaigns for brands such as Burberry, Chanel, and most recently, Saint Laurent. And let's not forgot that she considers Karl Lagerfeld a good friend. Regarding her acting career, Delevingne broke into the movie biz with her supporting role in the film "Paper Towns," and is starring in "Suicide Squad" alongside Margot Robbie, Will Smith, and Ben Affleck.

3. Justin Bieber, 22

This singer may have a bad rep, but he has been extremely successful since being discovered by Usher at age 13. To date, he has sold over 44 million records in the United States alone and has won countless awards, one of which was a Grammy for his song "Where Are Ü Now” with Skrillex and Diplo.

4. Simone Biles, 19


If you're going to watch the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio this summer, be on the lookout for Biles, a three-time winner World and National all-around gymnast. This tumbling star has 14 medals (10 of them gold), and is predicted to be the frontrunner of the United States' gymnastics team.

5. and 6. Kendall Jenner, 20 and Kylie Jenner, 18

These celeb sisters are taking over the fashion industry. Together, the sisters have three clothing lines (PacSun, Madden Girl and independent), a video game, and have a total net worth of $17 million ($12 and $5 million, respectfully).

Kendall has walked in countless runway shows (including the Victoria Secret Fashion Show), had a special edition spread in Vogue, and is the new face of Estée Lauder.

Kylie has a clip-in hair extension line, and a makeup line. The Lip Kits from her makeup line sold out in under 20 minutes after their release.

7. Odell Beckham, Jr., 23

At age 21, the wide receiver for the New York Giants was drafted in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft with the 12th pick. That same year, Beckham won both the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award and PFWA Rookie of the Year.

8. *Honorable Mention* Maddie Ziegler, 13

You may know this talented dancer from the reality show "Dance Moms," or any of her four appearances in Sia's latest music videos. Now that Ziegler has left the show, she is set to star in a movie directed by Sia entitled "Sisters" which is about the musician's childhood. Ziegler will also be joining the judging panel for "So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation." Talk about accomplishment!

*P.S. I'm obsessed with her

These millennials are an inspiration that you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
