Okay, there has been this hot controversial topic of the millennial generation for the past few weeks. It has been in the news and on social media platforms and people are just going nuts over this frantic video. If you have not seen the video with Alexis Bloomer ranting about how we as a millennial generation need to desperately change you should honestly watch this video.

It is seriously important and will truly make you question all of your actions and choices that you as millennials make within your lives. On top of all of this, with those of you who did not or already have watched the video you may be stuck in the middle just like myself because partially of what Alexis Bloomer does remark has some truth.

First things first, millennials are not bad human beings! Millennials work hard, endure so much criticism, and pay the price through higher education debt. Except, there are millennials out there that do want to just "get by" and not have to work their way to becoming successful.

There are millennials out there that do not want to have to go to school and want to just be famous and suddenly become rich.

Yet, there are also millennials in this generation that have grown up in tough economic circumstances and strive to reach their goals all with the momentum and inspiration that comes from within themselves. Even though there are millennials out there in this generation that do aspire for the same opportunities as other generations and there are certainly some of us out there that do accomplish some of these advantages, there are yet still not enough millennials taking on these life changes.

Millennials are not rude or disrespectful, but there are people in this world that do not have either of those moral standards. Being a millennial does not mean that you don't have class, professionalism, or even charisma. It just simply means that your part of a forever difficult changing and chaotic world that your still trying to find the good within.

Millennials do though have to get better at developing personal relationships and not focus so much on social media. Now, I know what you are going to say, I'm a "hypocrite" by writing this article and posting it onto Facebook. Yet, isn't it sad that I kinda have to be just a little bit of a hypocrite in order to get everyone's attention about this issue?

Since the only way, we as a society these days notice subjects like this is through social media which is just a bit insane right?

Not all millennials use curse words or listen to obscene music, not all millennials choose to not help the elderly, and not all millennials decide to not volunteer. In fact, there are even some millennials in this country that have started their own volunteer organizations.

Overall, what I'm trying to say is that this whole controversy with the millennial generation is not a sole problem, it's a social problem. What I mean by this is that we as a society need to stop putting all the blame on the millennial generation and look at it more as a humanistic social issue.

All generations are to blame if we want to get more technical about this problem. This is a people to people personal issue that is on a global spectrum and cannot be measured by just one generation aka the millennials.


Millennials are just like all of the other generations trying to live out their lives and reach for their dreams. Millennials just live in a different society and time in today's world where modernization is the catalyst of all change. We cannot judge or discriminate an entire generation based on two people's actions as it was quote-on-quote justified in Alexis Bloomer's rant video.

Although, I may agree with some of the things she did say about millennials, it's not just the millennials that are making these mistakes it's the entire human race that is making these massive mistakes. Even myself am guilty of some of the mistakes as I'm sure most of are guilty to some degree.

As a human race, I just think that we need to stop blaming certain generations for the way things are in this world. If there have to be changes made within this world then we should all as a human race change within ourselves before we can change the lives of others.

Change from your actions, lifestyle, values, and morals so that one-day future generations can have a chance to live the life we all so endlessly desire. Change for yourself and make the step to change at least one person's life.

Lastly, whatever you do millennials don't ever be succumbed to the so-called hierarchy of the other generations, as long as you know who you are within your heart that's all that matters.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
