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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
