Ten Things You Need to Know to Understand Millennials
Myrtle Deer

1. The night is young, and always on its phone.

2. It’s tacky to be late, so many people choose to wear a watch on their wrist, as the incessant ticking reminds the wearer of the limited beats of their heart and therefore the increasing entropy of the universe. This reminds them to arrive early.

3. It is essential to teach children basic rules of safety, such as not playing with matches, looking both ways before crossing the street, and distancing oneself from the proletariat revolution.

4. Additionally, once in possession of a child, it is expected to keep this child dry and maintained at roughly 98.6°F. It will be often expect to be fed up to three times a day, and may not be traded for a better model.

5. However, once eighteen years have passed, any offspring is no longer considered a child, and thus may be cast out from the home and made to fend for itself throughout the long winter.

6. Once turned out from the progenitorial home, a youth must begin the hard toil of unending work for the decaying promise of ascending to a higher social class.

7. The punishing rigors of capitalism bear down on the oppressed social classes. The proletariat have either the hard work of reform before them, or the poisonous balm of trusting in the powers that be that have corralled them into a tiny corner of economic woe and fiscal instability.

8. The heart wants what it wants. It wants a little help with the dishes.

9. The bourgeoisie successfully raise sympathy for their alleged woes, and are somehow elected president.

10. It's best to keep a stick of gum on hand to assuage the hungry youth.

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.
