Break the Mold

Be the change

Break the Mold
Erin Clemens

Our generation, the generation of millennials, are considered to be a reflection of what we want to avoid. We seek to be the change, to make a difference. We are subject to postmodernism, to falling into the "trend".

Now more than ever we need to seek out the Lord for guidance, to continue to be radically committed to HIS will and to refrain from falling into the millennial stereotype. We need to stand strong and be the light in a time of darkness, a time where our society's' vision seems to be obscured by materialism and local indoctrination. We need to think outside of the box, to think for ourselves, not to form to the mold but break the walls. We need to stand for the weak, for the quiet, for the lost, being their voice, their strength, their support.

We know that times will be tough, they won't be facile, we will be tempted and tried. Just as Jesus in the desert, he was tempted by the devil and yet he stood firm. "... Jesus answered him, "It is also written; Do not put the Lord your God to the test." (Matthew 4:7)

To be the change we want to see, we need to trust in God and allow him to lead us. To stand for our beliefs, to break the mold, beat the stereotype, be the change.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

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.
