Being a young adult in 2019 is full of a lot of random stuff that our parents and grandparents didn't have. We have more opportunities, different lifestyles, and just really weird stuff we always thought as normal.

Our obsession with avocados

A super food with a huge place in our hearts.

College debt

An actual representation of me giving colleges my money, with no questions asked.

Buying jeans with holes in them

Memes

The hero we needed, but don't deserve

Gifs

A sort of sibling to the meme, but powerful in its own right.

Spending five dollars on coffee

Not a want, but a need

YouTube/Instagram influencers

They make the world go round.

Mason jars as cups, decorations basically anything that isn’t for their intended purpose.

So versatile

Our love of succulents

Why have kids when you could have ten cute succulents that don't talk back.

Renting instead of buying

Besides have like no actual financial stability, we prefer to live less conventional lives than our predecessors.

Our imminent downfall as a society

We never grew up in a time of prosperity, and also know the earth may be dying unless we make a significant change to how we treat it. I guess that’s what happens after we treat it like shit.

Being non-binary or gender fluid

A new concept where people don't have to conform to gender norms or even acknowledge them.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
