Dear Millenials

An open letter to the Millennial generation.

Dear Millenials
Natalie Lennox

Dear Millennial’s,

Our generation is characterized by our tech-savvy skills and lack of intrapersonal skills. We suffer from the ability to please the Boomers and obsession with things such as marijuana usage. We are a generation that focuses more on how many Instgram likes we can get, rather than how many people in class can we become friends with instead. We are the generation that is bringing back the Boho glam and the 90’s grunge. We are the generation that is at the point in our lives where we are either parent’s, pregnant, or living out our 20’s happily with out alcohol and drug binges.

Most importantly, we are the generation that can now make a change. We can make the change in this election, in what policies and laws come into place, what peace we bring and what war we bring upon others. Our generation is the change that we want to see in the world. Our job as this generation is to help. The people we see who are homeless, the men and women who are poor in third world countries, your unborn children, and most importantly for yourself. We are young and have the ability to make advancements that no other generation can possibly do. We are important to saving not only our country, but also the Earth.

This is my plea to you, Millennials, to change the world we live. Take the advantages we have of being young, healthy, and innovative and apply them to your life. Go on trips where you help the poor and third world countries. Take the chance and write a letter to your congressman about laws you want changed. Start a march on Washington. Fight. Fight for the things you believe in, and fight for our rights and the dreams we have. Fight to make our lives the best they can be, and for the future generations.

Love,

A fellow Millennial with a desire to change the world

We work our tails off to be the best, but sometimes the stress can just tear you apart. Here are some struggles faced by business majors that will sound all too familiar.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
