To All The Hyper-Sensitive Millennials, Before Y'all Get Triggered

Sorry not sorry.

To All The Hyper-Sensitive Millennials, Before Y'all Get Triggered
Adriana Gil

I get the movement for equality. I get the movement for accepting everyone and everything. I get that we are trying to make progress to a better world, but some of you need to be stopped.

You're taking it too far. We went from trying to accept things to everyone becoming highly sensitive to everything! I can't even address a group of people as "guys" or "dudes" without being told that I'm not being "inclusive." I literally address my mom as "dude" sometimes. It should NOT be THAT deep.

I just want to know how we got so sensitive as a society. I mean, y'all are even going after Santa Claus! Santa Claus!!! Like you guys really went there.

Oops, I referred to you all as "guys." I'm not sorry.

And I get that this might come off as ignorant, but it's really not. I just think that we should not get overly sensitive about everything in the world.

For example, don't ruin someone's gender reveal, because it doesn't fit to what you want. I get that you might not want to label everyone into a specific "gender" before their born, but if you actually want to accept everyone, maybe you should accept that others will not agree with you on everything.

I don't think that someone being excited about having a little boy or a little girl is a bad thing. Them being excited about the gender does not mean that if their child grows up wanting to be another gender or not classified as a specific gender overall, that they won't accept that.

Not everyone wants to be in a box, and that's what a lot of people are trying to promote. Though, when you do one thing, the same people that don't want to label, are the first ones to.

I am all for being inclusive and being accepting, but I'm not for the sensitivity that everyone has indulged in and the tip-toeing around conversations.

So when you get “triggered" by something, think about why it's “triggering" you. Think about why the other person might not understand. Think about if it's reasonable to even get “triggered."

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
