We live in a world where some (most) college kids will spend more time looking for a meme to tweet about how well their studying is going (or not going) MORE than actually studying. If you're like me, you've actually taken the conscious (or not so conscious) decision to take a sort of "victory lap" and are staying in college an extra year (or two) longer than expected. The point is, we worry way too much about the wrong things.

If the girls of my generation, actually, make that any generation for that matter, would just treat each other the same way that we do in bar bathrooms, the world would be a much better place to live in. We have got to stop tearing each other apart the first chance we get just because we don't agree with one another. Let me ask you something, would you want your daughter to be put through what you've either done to another girl or have experienced first hand from another girl? No? Didn't think so. Being rudely outspoken to another person doesn't make you "stronger," it makes you an asshole. Learn how to argue your point with some decency and respect.

To the guys of my generation; stop being assholes. Your mothers raised you better than that. Open a damn door. Buy $5 flowers from Walmart. Get your girlfriend a candy bar from the gas station on your way home from work. Hold their hand even if you really don't want to. Tell your sisters you love them. Dress like a normal human being and not a wannabe gangster thug.

Basically, what I am trying to say is, be nice.

We are known as the most spoiled and high handed generation for a reason, because we are. Sure, we might not always see it or even understand that we're doing it, but almost an entire generation feels entitled to things like getting a car for their 16th birthday or the new iPhone that just came out (that we don't have the money for), for absolutely no reason. We just expect to get things that we didn't work for and I can see now why everyone hates us.

And if you want to be that person who says, "I work for my things. I earned my degree. I have a job. I pay my own bills. Sydney, you're stupid for saying I'm spoiled. I'm not spoiled." Shut up. Because you are probably worse than everybody you know put together. But, if you actually do support yourself and you aren't a complete asshole, then good for you. It's people like y'all who give me hope for our generation in that we won't be completely screwed once all of our parents are gone.

Let's make sure the generation after us has something to look up to.

We need more thinkers. More doers. More people who go outside their comfort zone. More inventors. More people who say "screw you" to those who say they can't instead of letting the negativity consume them. We need to care more and hate less.

We are only given one life in this world, let's make sure it's a good one.

Looking back, we had possibly one of the best childhoods ever.

We had "Scooby-Doo," "Power Rangers," "Courage The Cowardly Dog," "Even Stevens," "The Amanda Show" and "Hey Arnold." Movies like "Lion King" and "Space Jam." We also had things like Dunk-A-Roos, CD players, slap bracelets, and Game Boys.

With that being said, what would your 10 year old self think of your 21 year old self? Do you think they would be proud? If the answer is no, you may want to reevaluate how you're living your life. I mean, sure, continue partying and being the average college student, but don't stop trying just because life gets hard. Don't take the easy way. Be the person and be the change you wanted to see in the world when you were 10.

Hopefully you took something out of reading my article. If not, well, I can't say I'm not surprised. #sorrynotsorry #generationX
