Dear Millenials

An open letter to the Millennial generation.

Dear Millenials
Natalie Lennox

Dear Millennial’s,

Our generation is characterized by our tech-savvy skills and lack of intrapersonal skills. We suffer from the ability to please the Boomers and obsession with things such as marijuana usage. We are a generation that focuses more on how many Instgram likes we can get, rather than how many people in class can we become friends with instead. We are the generation that is bringing back the Boho glam and the 90’s grunge. We are the generation that is at the point in our lives where we are either parent’s, pregnant, or living out our 20’s happily with out alcohol and drug binges.

Most importantly, we are the generation that can now make a change. We can make the change in this election, in what policies and laws come into place, what peace we bring and what war we bring upon others. Our generation is the change that we want to see in the world. Our job as this generation is to help. The people we see who are homeless, the men and women who are poor in third world countries, your unborn children, and most importantly for yourself. We are young and have the ability to make advancements that no other generation can possibly do. We are important to saving not only our country, but also the Earth.

This is my plea to you, Millennials, to change the world we live. Take the advantages we have of being young, healthy, and innovative and apply them to your life. Go on trips where you help the poor and third world countries. Take the chance and write a letter to your congressman about laws you want changed. Start a march on Washington. Fight. Fight for the things you believe in, and fight for our rights and the dreams we have. Fight to make our lives the best they can be, and for the future generations.

Love,

A fellow Millennial with a desire to change the world

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.

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.
