Millennials Aren't The Problem

*sips tea*...but I think we can all agree that dabbing is Generation Z's fault.

Millennials Aren't The Problem
Know Your Meme

My generation is constantly framed as an obsessive, entitled, unappreciative and spoiled group by older generations, which (at times) we are; but weren’t we all? This moment, right now, society is at its peak socially, technologically , environmentally and creatively. And now the moments over and thousands of changes have just occurred, advancing us even further into the next “peak”.

What I’ve realized, as a current millennial and member of this current “disruptive” generation, is that the hate will stop once we enter true adulthood. Once my generation reaches their 30’s and 40’s, we will be blaming the next generation on the downfall of our society; or the “next” diamond industry. I mean, it's already happening. Take the whole "Tide Pod Challenge", (which is literally one of the dumbest challenges ever created) it's already being blamed on millennials AND Generation Z. I mean, Millennials, we're basically almost in the clear.

I believe that older generations aren’t really pissed at my generation for being social media obsessed or for “killing the napkin industry”. I believe that the older generations are upset about the way we get to experience our young adulthood.

As I said before, we are currently at our peak, and we are experiencing the best of the best our world has to offer right now, in our twenties. The peak that older generations were able to experience in their twenties is something just as wonderful, but absolutely different than ours.

My biggest pet peeves with what older generations have to say about my generation, is that we’re ruining their perceived ways of living. Truly, we are just beginning ours, and we’re trying to experiencing it the best we can.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
