12 Things Millennials Have Ruined Forever
Capital

Recently I read an article that blamed millennials for ruining the restaurant industry. They said that millennials either eat fast food or make their own food and that's why the fast sit-down restaurant industry is dying. So are they right? Have millennials ruined sit-down restaurants? Many people think that millennials truly have ruined so many things in America! Here are the biggest things that millennials have ruined!

1. Phones

They use their phones way too much. All they do is Snapchat, tweet, and Facebook message people.

2. Movie theaters

Instead of going to the movie theater, millennials just watch Netflix. Why would they refuse to not spend the $20 for a movie and a small popcorn? It's ridiculous.

3. Brunch

They've ruined my favorite meal and made it all about them. It is no longer about enjoying a quiet meal. It is now about sitting there for hours boozing up and taking pictures to show their Instagram followers.

4. Television

Instead of tuning into primetime TV, they just record it and watch it later. That's the reason so many TV shows are having to stop making shows.

5. Good music and CD's

They no longer go to the store and buy CDs. Instead, they listen to their crappy music on their iPods. Also, all they listen to is that pop and rap junk.

6. Dating

They care more about "hooking up" than actually getting to know someone. This is also why the average marriage age is way higher.

7. The economy

Even once they are out of college they won't buy anything! College should make them be able to buy more things. Why can't they afford to buy diamonds and other luxuries?

8. College

Instead of getting a quality education, all they do is party. Also, they've created stupid majors like "The History of Memes." They take no responsibility for their education and want it to be free.

9. Politics

Either they don't vote or they start violent protests. Millennials need to stop being sensitive babies!!

10. The real estate industry

Millenials don't buy homes because they can't afford them. What are you putting your money towards? College? Everyone before them could pay for college by working hard while they were in school. They obviously aren't working hard enough!

11. Cameras

Instead of going out and buying a camera they just use their new phone, and they are constantly taking pictures of everything. Why can't they just remain in the moment and stay present?

12. Books

Instead of reading a book, they use their Kindle. Do millennials even read? I swear all they do is sit on those stupid devices all day.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
