8 Things Every Milennial Has Done And Annoyed Our Parents About
Information Age

I sort of don't blame our parents for not entirely getting us, because let's face it, we are a tough crowd to understand and handle. Having earned the tag of a generation who changes its mind in a fraction of a second and believes in living life on their own terms, our parents are bound to go nuts with some of our habits.

Their upbringing has been all about following rules, acting conventionally and never questioning the elders. While ours is completely the opposite, therefore here are a few things that I bet every parent can't stand:

1. When we prefer texting over face to face communication

Let's face it, there is a certain amount of joy in being able to communicate without facing the other person (especially if he/she is not your close friend). This is your chance to be witty and show off your sense of humour without being judged.

2. When we oversleep at noon, because the best ideas come to us only at wee hours

Being a millennial is tough I tell ya!

3. When we leave our bedroom lights and fan switched on

This is just a phase, which too shall pass soon. Agree?

4. When we showcase our fashion sensibilities at a family gathering

How else do we flaunt our collection that we've bought online?

5. When we plan a night out at a friends place without taking any permission

The point of having an overnight is simply to spend time with your buddy and create memories that you will cherish forever.

6. When we lock our bedroom doors for hours for some serious productivity

How else is one supposed to focus and increase their productivity?

7. When you try something unconventional

Being able to be experimental with fashion is something we take seriously.

8. When we don't put things in proper place

If it's in our room, I guess it's the place to be

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
