I got to say that I'm a little sick of hearing criticism from the older generations. Constantly pestering me on my outfit choices or what I do in my free time. I'm sure you all can relate to those annoying conversations. "Oh... you went to a festival?" or "I don't really like that outfit you're wearing." Let me say one thing, it's none of your concern.
That's right. I'm speaking up for all of the kids in my generation who are too afraid to say it. This is our time. We're in our early twenties. This is the time where we're supposed to experience life. We're supposed to go out and get a little too drunk. We're supposed to blow our money on concert tickets. We're supposed to wear whatever is in style right now. We're supposed to experiment with things and find out our likes and dislikes. These are the years we're supposed to find ourselves. But how can we find ourselves when all we get is downward looks?

The funny thing is, you all went through this stage of your lives too. You all went through your early twenties where you wore clothes that weren't "parent appropriate". You went out and danced on tables at night. You tried things that you probably shouldn't have. And you know what? It's thanks to that time of your life that you're the person you are today. You needed to cut loose and get a little crazy sometimes. It was all part of the journey.
Now, I would kindly like to ask you that the next time someone mentions that they just spent all weekend camping at a festival or is wearing a shirt that is a little too revealing; that you remember you were there once too. Cut us some slack. We're just young adults trying to find our place in this world and yeah sometimes that involves drinking a little too much tequila. (But let's be real, you can never drink too much tequila).
