Okay, there has been this hot controversial topic of the millennial generation for the past few weeks. It has been in the news and on social media platforms and people are just going nuts over this frantic video. If you have not seen the video with Alexis Bloomer ranting about how we as a millennial generation need to desperately change you should honestly watch this video.

It is seriously important and will truly make you question all of your actions and choices that you as millennials make within your lives. On top of all of this, with those of you who did not or already have watched the video you may be stuck in the middle just like myself because partially of what Alexis Bloomer does remark has some truth.

First things first, millennials are not bad human beings! Millennials work hard, endure so much criticism, and pay the price through higher education debt. Except, there are millennials out there that do want to just "get by" and not have to work their way to becoming successful.

There are millennials out there that do not want to have to go to school and want to just be famous and suddenly become rich.

Yet, there are also millennials in this generation that have grown up in tough economic circumstances and strive to reach their goals all with the momentum and inspiration that comes from within themselves. Even though there are millennials out there in this generation that do aspire for the same opportunities as other generations and there are certainly some of us out there that do accomplish some of these advantages, there are yet still not enough millennials taking on these life changes.

Millennials are not rude or disrespectful, but there are people in this world that do not have either of those moral standards. Being a millennial does not mean that you don't have class, professionalism, or even charisma. It just simply means that your part of a forever difficult changing and chaotic world that your still trying to find the good within.

Millennials do though have to get better at developing personal relationships and not focus so much on social media. Now, I know what you are going to say, I'm a "hypocrite" by writing this article and posting it onto Facebook. Yet, isn't it sad that I kinda have to be just a little bit of a hypocrite in order to get everyone's attention about this issue?

Since the only way, we as a society these days notice subjects like this is through social media which is just a bit insane right?

Not all millennials use curse words or listen to obscene music, not all millennials choose to not help the elderly, and not all millennials decide to not volunteer. In fact, there are even some millennials in this country that have started their own volunteer organizations.

Overall, what I'm trying to say is that this whole controversy with the millennial generation is not a sole problem, it's a social problem. What I mean by this is that we as a society need to stop putting all the blame on the millennial generation and look at it more as a humanistic social issue.

All generations are to blame if we want to get more technical about this problem. This is a people to people personal issue that is on a global spectrum and cannot be measured by just one generation aka the millennials.


Millennials are just like all of the other generations trying to live out their lives and reach for their dreams. Millennials just live in a different society and time in today's world where modernization is the catalyst of all change. We cannot judge or discriminate an entire generation based on two people's actions as it was quote-on-quote justified in Alexis Bloomer's rant video.

Although, I may agree with some of the things she did say about millennials, it's not just the millennials that are making these mistakes it's the entire human race that is making these massive mistakes. Even myself am guilty of some of the mistakes as I'm sure most of are guilty to some degree.

As a human race, I just think that we need to stop blaming certain generations for the way things are in this world. If there have to be changes made within this world then we should all as a human race change within ourselves before we can change the lives of others.

Change from your actions, lifestyle, values, and morals so that one-day future generations can have a chance to live the life we all so endlessly desire. Change for yourself and make the step to change at least one person's life.

Lastly, whatever you do millennials don't ever be succumbed to the so-called hierarchy of the other generations, as long as you know who you are within your heart that's all that matters.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
