Am I A Millennial Or A Generation Z?

Everyone struggles with identity. What the world tells you, what the family calls you, how your friends treat you, the way you react to situations, and how you think about the world all impact who you are as a human being.

All I see on the internet is about how Millenials are struggling to be adults and they do not want to start "adulting." So am I a Millenial, because I feel that way sometimes, but as an 18-year-old, that's normal right? So who are the Millenials and why is it bad they do not have their act together??

Well, the Millenials as defined by Google are born from 1982 to 2004 ... so about from age 35 to 14. That's quite a gap right of time?? Of course, a 14-year-old Millenial would not have his or her life together, they cannot even drive yet, but a 35-year-old not having their life figured out might be an issue... so let's see about the other generation, Generation Z or iGen.

Generation Z is dated from 1995 to current, meaning there are a few years of people in both generations!!

Personally, I do not want to be described as a Millenial who other generations hate because of the 35-year-olds who do not have their act together, but I also did not grow up with a tablet in my hand since before I could walk like I see little children doing now.

So my fellow Middlemen, what are we to do when an entire planet cannot agree on our identity, We are trapped between two separate generations that we do not even want to be a part of because we know that we are better than who the world wants to group us with... no offense.

Grouping people by generation is really annoying because there are no exact time periods that are categorized. Some say Millenials are born from 1972-1992, which would kick a bunch of people into the Generation Z but also take quite a few from Generation X, but others define Millenials as being born from 1982-2004.

Can we be Middlemen who are just called the Cool Generation?

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.
