6 Reasons Millennials Are Terrible

6 Reasons Millennials Are Terrible

If I had a dollar for every time I heard a complaint about millennials, I could probably put a down payment on this whole "house" thing everyone's talking about. Personally, I agree - millennials are terrible. A scourge on our society. Here's everything millennials are doing wrong.

1. They're so easily offended.

Back in the old days, nobody got offended about anything ever. People were racist, sexist, and homophobic, and they liked it that way! Millennials are too sensitive. (But have you heard about people saying "happy holidays" instead of "merry Christmas"?! Now that I can get upset about.)

2. All they do is accrue debt.

Back in the old days, we paid for college out of pocket! College was $5 and we liked it that way! There was none of this nonsense about "student loans." If you ask me, that's the easy way out.

3. They're so addicted to their phones.

What are they doing on those things? Social networking? The Twitter? Or, God forbid, they're checking the news and staying up to date on current issues? For shame.

4. They're so lazy.

Really, you work in food service because you haven't been able to afford college yet? Or you're paying your way through college with a demeaning, low-paying job that forces you to work long hours for little compensation? You live with your parents because you'd rather not take up a mortgage and ruin your credit and the economy? So lazy, Martha Stewart even says so.

(Didn't she go to prison for insider trading? Now that's an honest way to make money. Un-lazy.)

5. They're so full of themselves - all they do is take selfies.

Back in the old days, we commissioned portraits for thousands of dollars, then sat for five hours while our visage was painstakingly put to canvas, and then we hung them above the fireplace so the whole house could see.

Studies show millennials have higher self-esteem than previous generations. How dare they love themselves?

6. They've turned dating into a joke.

Back in the old days (before this Facebook and Tinder nonsense), we went on uncomfortable first dates where we knew nothing about the other person, and we liked it! And before that, we had to settle for someone our parents picked out for us, and we liked that too!

Tl;dr: millennials are just awful. Don't be a millennial. Be like Martha Stewart or Breitbart News - tired, old, bitter, and unnecessarily critical of a generation they can't hope to understand. Thank you, baby boomers, for destroying our economy, social security, the job market, and the middle class, then pinning it on us. Bye!

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
