The Belief Of An Undecided Millenial

Don't judge me.

I am a millennial. I work full-time, will be attending college with a complete class load, own my own car I bought myself, and pay rent. You will tell me I am one of few, but as I look around there many others just like me. I’m a millennial. I refuse to decide on a political party because it is unnecessary and primarily the reason our country is failing. I’m a millennial. I read books and Facebook posts but I’m well aware of which one is more knowledgeable if you were concerned. I support the LGBTQ community because politics should have no correlation with who you love. I believe that as long as there is a drug epidemic in this country addiction should be seen as an illness instead of a crime. I believe in volunteering and working for everything you receive. I'm a millennial.

I believe that there is no way that Donald Trump will make America great again but neither will Hillary and if you ask me who I’m going to vote I will sternly tell you neither. I will not choose between the less of two evils when I can vividly view both of their corruption. Hilary clearly should have been charged for her crimes in Benghazi and can’t we realize that shady business is what landed America in the boat we are in now? Trump’s tried business ethics would just make it worse. I’m a millennial. I believe in unity and independence but not seclusion of those we are told are inferior. I’m disgusted by politics and how the union has changed from its originality to a corrupt system in which the people no longer have control. Before I am anything I am a human and I will give everyone else I look at the same dignity to be solely a human also. I’m a millennial.

My opinions are ever changing because I have been taught to keep an open mind. I won't fall into the media trap that has seamlessly tore this country apart and I advise you to not either. This world has so much possibility for me to be optimistic about and considering I am a millennial and we are statistically the most optimistic generation I guess that fits. Clearly not every millennial has the same views as me but isn't that the point? That we can all be from the same era but think out of our own boxes. So please before you title me “another millennial”, remember that a few people's actions do not define us as a whole. I am a millennial, but before I am anything, I am human. Please treat me as so. God bless.

MILLENNIAL: Mid 1970's to early 2000's.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. 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.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
