Millenials have a bad rap. We are called entitled, spoiled, rude, sensitive, and my personal favorite: lazy. We simply do not pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. We want to sleep in, and would rather send a lol selfie Instagram tweet post to our fellow memers. We just do not want to work hard and prefer just to demand the end result of success.

I recently came across a list that ranks the college majors by the average number of hour of sleep a student studying that area receives. The article is titled Ranked : The most sleep-deprived college majors in America. The list contains the classic majors that lazy Millenials usually study. Some of these lackluster content areas include Biochemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Higher Education, Physics, Nursing, Law: the list goes on with lazy professionals who are earning their degrees by demanding and crying.

The most shocking of this list is the secondary headline: "You should be getting more sleep". This statement implies that students are choosing to give up their bed. In addition, it also shows that no matter how hard the student works, it is not worth it, as they are losing sleep. This list is not celebrating students' hard work, it is just another reminder of how backward our generation is.

The worst thing that this list does is that it makes students argue who's major is the hardest and most sleep deprived. Why are we taking pride in losing sleep? Why are we excited to be more stressed than our peers? As a country, we should be more concerned with the fact that so many students are sleeping less than seven hours a night. However, remember, if we complain, it's just because we are lazy, not because we are going into thousands dollars worth of debt and stress over our grades.

Millenials are not lazy, we are tired. So many students, in both high school and college, work extremely hard in their classes, most of which are advanced placement and have higher standards. On top of that, many students work a part-time job and participate in extracurriculars, just to build that resume. And theyhave the audacity to call us lazy.

Things are not like they used to be, the world is different than when our parents were our age. Before, students could succeed by paying extremely less for college, which can be paid off with a part time job. Also, college was not as necessary as it is today. If you want to have any level fo respect in this country, you need to go to college to make a decent wage. Also, college is incredibly expensive today, and we are doing everything in our power to bring that price down and make that price worth it.

So, when you decide to judge an entire generation, do not base it on how hard we pull up our bootstraps, but consider how hard we work inside the classroom.
