Just some of the problems your parents NEVER had to deal with growing up.

21 Struggles Of Being A Millennial
Mobe

1. Cracking your phone screen.

Because someone somewhere thinks glass is the most practical material for something we're sitting on half the time.

2. Not having Wifi.

You might as well not have a phone at all.

3. You went over your data usage (again) this month.

One of the worst possible texts you can get.

4. This item is not eligible for Amazon prime.

You mean I have to wait three to five business days instead of two???

5. Choosing an Instagram filter.

I don't know if I should go with XX Pro or Valencia. I wanna look tan...

6. You didn't get enough likes on your picture.

But your caption was so cute and punny

7. They didn't text you back.

Ugh.

8. They didn't text you back and their read receipt is on...

Now this is just plain evil.

9. Your sarcasm doesn't translate properly through text.

Well it made sense in my head.

10. Getting tagged in ratchet photos of yourself on Facebook.

UNTAG before mom likes it.

11. Becoming "Facebook official."

Possibly a bigger decision than your actual relationship.

12. There is no emoji for that.

At least we have the middle finger now.

13. Paying your monthly Netflix fee.

The only downside to Netflix and chill.

14. Waiting for your phone/computer to update.

Just when you think the bar is fully loaded, it drops back down to zero.

15. You matched, but they haven't messaged you.

To make the first move, or to not make the first move...

16. You can't read/write cursive for shit.

All the effort you put in during the third grade has definitely not paid off.

17. Accidentally liking an Instagram photo from months ago.

Yeah there's no way to casually downplay that.

18. Running out of storage on your phone.

Yes, all 1,288 of these photos are important to me.

19. Waiting for your Venmo funds to transfer to your bank account.

I have -$80, so how does that work???

20. Your Uber driver cancelled on you.

Better call Lyft.

21. Debating accepting parent's/adult's friend requests.

There are some things your dad just should not see...

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.

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.
