I think that there's been a misunderstanding between the Baby Boomer Generation/ Generation X and Milennials. We are the better generation. Even though we're constantly being called lazy and we're blamed for everything that may go wrong in today's world, we have our head held high because we're still awesome because of all of the following reasons:

1. We can multi-task like crazy.

I'm not sure why people think that if we're doing more than one thing at once, we're not doing anything "appropriately." Excuse me for being smart enough to do more than one thing APPROPRIATELY and for saving time.

2. We have a wonderful acceptance for diversity.

Every millennial that I have bumped in to has a huge acceptance for diversity and even craves it. We just want to be inclusive and make America colorful.

3. We can keep up with modern technology and effectively use it while still admiring the world.

The world is evolving through the use of modern technology and social media. If you're not as updated as a millenial (which I think you should be if you value your job), you're old news. A lot of us are adventurers and remember a time when smartphones didn't exist. We value the outside world and have the perfect balance.

4. We value education.

We love and crave knowledge and want to be the best in our field. School is our top priority and it's constantly on our minds. It's on our minds so much that we stress ourselves out.

5. We love our planet.

We want to take care of it and want more regulations when it comes to the planet. We're constantly trying to correct the pollution that the Baby Boomers and Gen X created.

6. If you can't hear our voices, we'll make them go viral.

If we feel strongly about something, we'll create protests or do something creative to make our voices heard. If no one is listening to us, we'll create a video on social media for it to reach thousands of hearts and minds.



.....So please tell me again how Millenials are the "worst generation."

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.
