6 Reasons Why Millennials Are Better Than Baby Boomers or Gen X

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."

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.
