Just a rant about Millennials

A Little Rant About Our Current Generation

So I was born in the unfortunate era of the Millennial, not that being a millennial is unfortunate, but this generation has taken so much for granted. Take television for example. When I was growing up, I couldn't wait to watch shows like Powerpuff Girls or Jimmy Neutron, now days they have shows that do not even come close to making sense, like the many adventures of gumball or teen titians go. They just have decided to do things in an idiotic time span. One thing that really irks me is how much the people of my generation have become reliant on their parents to do things for them. This generation has become so reliant on people handing things to them. The bad part is that they have been coddled so much that they do not know how to function in society. They expect to be handed a high paying job right out of college without any experience, but on the other hand, in order to get a job society expects us to have a master's degree in our field of study and then have six plus years of experience. However, in order to get that six plus years of experience, you need a degree in rocket science or to be an engineer (not really but you get the idea). They expect us to vote this year, and can I just say I really do not like either of the candidates and that America just needs a break from the craziness that is politics.

I for one do not act this way; I have the respect that I was raised with (you know where you say "yes ma'am," "no ma'am" and "yes sir," "no sir"), and I respect the law enforcement because that's how I was raised. When I see the police and they are trying to stop me, I stop: there is no running or back-talking. People that are around my age need to learn and figure out that the police are there to help you, and as long as you respect them, they will show you the same respect.

Growing up with this generation has just made me feel like as a group of people, the Millennials have let other's down. We have become so set in our ways that we just don't care anymore. We we have become so reliant when we need to buck up and take responsibility for the things that we do and the society that we live in needs to realize that the expectations that they have of you.

This was a little bit longer rant than I thought that it was going to be. If you guys think this same way please share it and make your opinions known. Maybe we can change the way society sees the generation of now. And remember, if you do not speak up then you will never be heard. Also do not let the views of my political beliefs influence how you vote or see the world. I just felt that this was a good time to express my opinion.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
