Any American who lives in today's society has run in to some "first world problems". Whether we encounter struggles or are just doing everyday activities, we can all relate to these things that make up our modern American culture.
1. Dunkin Donuts vs. Starbucks
2. The Apple Obsession
With technology advancing so fast the Apple company has been in the spotlight. Most Americans have some type of Apple product whether it's an iPhone, Mac computer, or even just a pair of speakers. There is no doubt that the Apple company is the go to when it comes to technology.
3. The Love of the American Flag
The American flag is everywhere you go! People fly them in front of their homes, outside of businesses, and in schools. This flag is also commonly found on clothing like T-shirts, hats, and bathing suits. Everywhere you go you see the appreciation for America.
4. Netflix
Netflix is a current obsession in America. People binge watch TV show series on this streaming site for hours on end and even sneak some time in at work or school. People who don't have their own account often use their friend's or family's logins to get in on the Netflix epidemic.
5. Football
Even if you have no idea what is going on in the game, you still watch football. In high school most schools gather on Friday nights to watch your school play local towns or you go to your homecoming game. Some colleges or universities are well known for their competitive football teams and some college stadiums can have a capacity as large as 107,601 people. Most people turn on the TV on Sunday's and many holidays to watch NFL games and cheer on their favorite teams.
6. Driving With Fools
We've all had that struggle of running into those idiots on the road. Everyone hates to come across those people who ride you, go too slow, don't use there blinker, cut you off, don't look when merging or just don't pay attention. Even if you're just trying to go to work, school, or down the street it can be very annoying.
7. Social Media Addiction
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest are all apps that most millennial Americans check at least once a day. Most people don't know why they're so obsessed with these social sites but they find themselves mindlessly messing around on them when they're bored.
8. Shopping Malls
Americans all across the country do their shopping at malls. There massive outlets are commonly visited for birthdays, Christmas, or even just for leisure shopping. Some of our favorite stores can be found here like Forever 21, Charlotte Russe and Lush.
9. Disney
Disney plays a prominent role in American society. Even if you have never been to Disney World in Florida or Disney Land in California, you have most defintly seen a Disney movie or listened to the stories when you were younger.
10. Appreciating Our Veterans
Americans argue about a lot of things but one thing we can all agree on is this. It could be as little as saying thank you or making a donation, but Americans should always be thankful to the ones that have sacrificed everything for our freedom and safety.
