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

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
