I think that there's been a misunderstanding between the Baby Boomer Generation/ Generation X and Milennials. We are the better generation. Even though we're constantly being called lazy and we're blamed for everything that may go wrong in today's world, we have our head held high because we're still awesome because of all of the following reasons:

1. We can multi-task like crazy.

I'm not sure why people think that if we're doing more than one thing at once, we're not doing anything "appropriately." Excuse me for being smart enough to do more than one thing APPROPRIATELY and for saving time.

2. We have a wonderful acceptance for diversity.

Every millennial that I have bumped in to has a huge acceptance for diversity and even craves it. We just want to be inclusive and make America colorful.

3. We can keep up with modern technology and effectively use it while still admiring the world.

The world is evolving through the use of modern technology and social media. If you're not as updated as a millenial (which I think you should be if you value your job), you're old news. A lot of us are adventurers and remember a time when smartphones didn't exist. We value the outside world and have the perfect balance.

4. We value education.

We love and crave knowledge and want to be the best in our field. School is our top priority and it's constantly on our minds. It's on our minds so much that we stress ourselves out.

5. We love our planet.

We want to take care of it and want more regulations when it comes to the planet. We're constantly trying to correct the pollution that the Baby Boomers and Gen X created.

6. If you can't hear our voices, we'll make them go viral.

If we feel strongly about something, we'll create protests or do something creative to make our voices heard. If no one is listening to us, we'll create a video on social media for it to reach thousands of hearts and minds.



.....So please tell me again how Millenials are the "worst generation."

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
