8 Famous Millennials And Their Unbelievable Accomplishments

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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
