Millennials for the new age

Remind me of a time where there was peace, prosperity, and job aspects for young adults? I can't think of a time where we weren't being criticized by our elders. Millennials is a term used for an adult between the ages of 18-28. So that means most of us. People call us the selfish generation or the easy generation because we never had to work for what we have now. I know plenty of people who can attest to that.

It is not hard to see where those words "selfish" and "easy" come from. We do have it easier than maybe our grandparents or even parents have had when it comes to housing and food. But it is no longer the case when it comes to school or life after school. My whole life revolves around transferring and education and I want the best possible job aspect as possible in the future. That is harder to come by nowadays because the job market is definitely open, but is it open to those who are willing to put the time and hard work in?

I have heard many adults tell me that we take everything for granted and that we don't appreciate the things we have. That we don't work hard enough or long enough or that we don't have good "work ethic". I can't speak for everyone because I know some do that sort of thing, but not all of us do. We all get overshadowed by that stereotype of we think we are better than you and that nobody can bring us down. It is true that I know lots of people working three jobs and are a full time student at the same time. That is tough enough in itself. But we are all working toward beating some of those stereoptypes. It is time to see us as equals instead of being all about "me".
