12 Things Millennials Have Ruined Forever
Capital

Recently I read an article that blamed millennials for ruining the restaurant industry. They said that millennials either eat fast food or make their own food and that's why the fast sit-down restaurant industry is dying. So are they right? Have millennials ruined sit-down restaurants? Many people think that millennials truly have ruined so many things in America! Here are the biggest things that millennials have ruined!

1. Phones

They use their phones way too much. All they do is Snapchat, tweet, and Facebook message people.

2. Movie theaters

Instead of going to the movie theater, millennials just watch Netflix. Why would they refuse to not spend the $20 for a movie and a small popcorn? It's ridiculous.

3. Brunch

They've ruined my favorite meal and made it all about them. It is no longer about enjoying a quiet meal. It is now about sitting there for hours boozing up and taking pictures to show their Instagram followers.

4. Television

Instead of tuning into primetime TV, they just record it and watch it later. That's the reason so many TV shows are having to stop making shows.

5. Good music and CD's

They no longer go to the store and buy CDs. Instead, they listen to their crappy music on their iPods. Also, all they listen to is that pop and rap junk.

6. Dating

They care more about "hooking up" than actually getting to know someone. This is also why the average marriage age is way higher.

7. The economy

Even once they are out of college they won't buy anything! College should make them be able to buy more things. Why can't they afford to buy diamonds and other luxuries?

8. College

Instead of getting a quality education, all they do is party. Also, they've created stupid majors like "The History of Memes." They take no responsibility for their education and want it to be free.

9. Politics

Either they don't vote or they start violent protests. Millennials need to stop being sensitive babies!!

10. The real estate industry

Millenials don't buy homes because they can't afford them. What are you putting your money towards? College? Everyone before them could pay for college by working hard while they were in school. They obviously aren't working hard enough!

11. Cameras

Instead of going out and buying a camera they just use their new phone, and they are constantly taking pictures of everything. Why can't they just remain in the moment and stay present?

12. Books

Instead of reading a book, they use their Kindle. Do millennials even read? I swear all they do is sit on those stupid devices all day.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
