Everything Great About Generation Z

People love to complain about the goddamn younger generation, and how lazy, selfish, and stupid we are. Sure, some of us may be lazy, selfish, and stupid, but we're also innovative, creative, and hard-working.

We fight for change

The Women's March and the March for Our Lives are two examples of how we are the generation of change. Whether you agree with the politics of the marches are not, it is clear to see that young people are vocal about the problems they find in our society, and they are more than willing to make their voices heard.

We're open minded as hell

This obviously is not true for every member of Generation Z, but we are definitely the most open-minded generation yet. We are the generation that doesn't shut people down based on their gender, religion, sexuality, or race. Many people rise from close-minded and socially conservative families that have no place for tolerance; while some people choose to hold onto those socially conservative faiths, others have resisted from conforming to those beliefs and have come around to accepting others for the way they are, spreading love and positivity and making the world an easier place to live in.

We find new ways to make money 

Our innovative minds have lead us to turn social media platforms such as Instagram into money-making machines. I have come across several accounts that sell jewelry, clothing and accessories, and a good chunk of them donate a part of their profits to a good cause. People have used social media to jump-start their careers in modeling, acting and singing. Call it a scam, but you wouldn't be complaining if you were on the other end, making money by taking advantage of a free platform.

We think twice before spending money 

Contrary to the way we are described by the "older generations," we actually think about the cost of an item before we purchase it. Generation Z consumers consider cost as the must important factor when making a purchase. Because we are forced to spend all of our income and go into debt to attend college, we as a generation constantly worry about whether something is worth purchasing, even if it is essential.

Sure, we may have a sentimental attachment to our phones, but we also value our careers, our relationships, and our society.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
