We've all seen some of the most insane things millennials are blamed for ruining. While most of us don't take these articles seriously, it's still pretty annoying that anyone could possibly believe it. We're so much more than what the news stations claim. Here are some of the funniest things millennials have been blamed for.

1. Millennials are killing the napkin industry

I wish I was kidding

2. Millennials are killing the sport of running

Thanks, Wall Street Journal.

3. Millennials are killing the sport of golf

I mean, okay, I'm okay with killing this one.

4. Millennials are killing the soap industry

I guess we're just dirty deviants.

5. Millennials are killing face-to-face interactions, thanks to smart phones

But who invented the smart phone? A millennial? Who gave the smart phones to us? That's what I thought. Go home.

6. Millennials are killing corked wine because they prefer canned, twist off, or boxed wine.

Tragic.

7. Millennials are killing department stores

Yeah, absolutely, not because someone invented the convenience of Amazon or anything.

8. Millennials are killing the diamond industry

Well why are they so expensive? How do you expect us to afford that when we can't find jobs?

9. Millennials have killed crowdfunding

Again. We're all broke. Send help.

10. Millennials have killed handshakes

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.
