Millennials Aren't That Different From Previous Generations

You are never too old to learn.

Millennials Aren't That Different From Previous Generations
https://a2ua.com

It isn't just the Millennials. What do I mean when I say it isn't just Millennials? I mean that we aren't the only ones who are struggling to do better and be better. It is people of all ages who don't have a clue what it means to be an adult. I think the more I realize we are all learning constantly the more comfortable I become with the fact that I am still learning. I have had conversations with many adults and asked each of them, "how the heck am I supposed to know if I am being an adult correctly," and the answer I always get is, "you don't." I can only imagine how much stress would be avoided if young people only knew, adults don't know what they are doing either. It is almost laughable, really. In reality, we are all only faking and people take our faking for knowledge and experience. With that knowledge alone the possibilities become endless. We can do anything and everything. Millennials and adults alike can become famous just by pretending. I think I have a list of things I want to do just from the knowledge that I don't have to have my life together in order to do them. Take this a step further and I realized that maybe doing all those things I have been wanting to do will be what it takes to get my life together. Mind blown. So here is a list of things that I want to do with my new knowledge:

Go jump out of perfectly good airplane (skydiving)

Learn a foreign language fluently (preferably a Romance language)

Start my own business (who knows what it will be about, but we shall see)

Finish writing my books (I have started three and haven't finished any)

Travel the world (sell almost everything I own and just go)

Finish what I start (no need to fear failing when we are all just learning)

Meet new people and befriend them (no better way to learn than to meet new people)

Climb one of the tallest mountains on earth (gotta train for that, but I will do it)

Take a cooking class (I cook, but I would love to cook better)

Learn to learn (don't be so full of myself I am unwilling to learn)

Love without regret (no need to explain)

Draw people closer to Christ (how can I go wrong with that)

Give to as many people as I can (whether that be time or money)

Continue adding to my list (it should be never ending)

To be human is to always be learning and discovering new things. Mistakes will happen; in fact, it is good to make mistakes. If no one has it together there is nothing to worry about. No expectations. Without expectations the only thing that can happen is growth. You see in the end, we are all the same, adults are no different than us. Learning constantly. I know what I plan to do with this new knowledge. What will you do?

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.

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.
