Everyone over the age of 35 is always saying how terrible the current generation, us so-called Millennials, are the worst; and since all these people are saying it it must be true right? Right? Right. Obviously, you dummy. But what makes a Millennial a Millennial? And how do you become a Millennial? Good thing you asked because I'm going to tell you regardless of whether or not you did. So here are 10 easy steps to become the worst generation in American history.

1. Disrespect your elders:

One of the easiest ways to do this is to tell them that you don't appreciate their use of racial slurs. It's their God given right! How dare you censor them!

2. Complain about how going to college has put you in a ludicrous amount of debt before the age of 25:

"If you didn't want to be in debt you shouldn't have gone to college! You should have just gotten a job; that's what I did." - Some Old Person

3. Whine about how you don't have any money because you're only able to get a part-time job:

"If you wanted a well paying job you should have gone to college, that's what I did." - That Same Old Person

4. Prove how lazy you are by being a full-time student.

5. Become a liberal monster by not caring about possibly sharing a public restroom with trans people.

6. Treat women like actual human beings:

If you can't do this (and, I mean, who can, am I right?) just substitute women with the LGBT community.

7. Waste most of your time on the internet:

You can do this by sharing verified articles exposing systemic oppression and government corruption.

8. Take people's guns away.

9. Wear your pants too low: Kids still do this, right?

10. Be born after 1989:

This is the most egregious offense. You're probably the reason Y2K happened. What's that? Y2K didn't happen? Oh...well then...Young people still suck!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
