Ah, the coveted title of millennial.

Not.

We are the youth of society, inching our way into the workforce but detested by the bulk of employers.

We are entitled and impatient bullsh*tters who will flake on the job as soon as the going gets tough -- or even just too boring.

We are the wanderlust whiners who don’t believe in the notion of contributing to society -- a life in the wilderness is much more preferable, anyway.

We are the overconfident and overly expectant yuppies (young urban professionals) under the presumption that our diploma, being a little more current than our employer’s, makes us more informed, more skilled, and more deserving of reward than everyone else at the company.

Privileged, snarky, and obnoxious. At least that’s what the employers and the generation before us think about Millennials.

Unfortunately, these viewpoints are not complete, and it’s about time we got some credit where it’s due.

For starters, millennials are responsible. Research shows that, thanks to the poor economy, more Millennials are either living at home or doubling up with roommates, cutting paid TV and marrying later. We have enough debt as it is thanks to the enormous cost of higher education, and we choose to live a more simple life after graduation to combat that.

We also display a commitment to our work, despite the misconception that we’re only looking for a fast pass to success. Another study shows that we we check our email more frequently than those of other generations, suggesting that we are more committed to our work both inside and outside the office. Additionally, a record share of young adults in 2012 were shown to have earned a degree in college, evidence of our determination to keep up in an increasingly competitive workforce.

While millennials are committed to our jobs, we also prioritize experiences outside of the office -- and it’s not a bad thing. Working longer hours, even if it leads to more income, does not increase happiness, and the numbers show it. A May 2014 report of happiest countries showed that the top five happiest countries all had less than 9 percent of their employers working long hours, with fourth place, Denmark, having as low as 2.1 percent of its employees working long hours.

We want the scope of our lives to go beyond our careers, and we are content spending money on experiences rather than material objects. One survey showed that 78 percent of millennials would rather spend money on an experience than a thing. We understand that it’s not so much about working longer -- it’s about working smarter.

And speaking of reducing our use of material goods, we are earnestly in favor of helping the environment, too. We are in favor of developing alternative sources of energy, stricter environmental laws and regulations, and promoting incentives for developing eco-friendly habits.

Now consider these positive aspects of millennials in addition to the reasons behind some of the not entirely untrue stereotypes:

We act entitled out of a combination of frustration from the large sum of debt we’ve inherited from the generations before us and the amount of personal debts we’ve already amassed from our overpriced but oh-so-necessary educations.

We are presumptuous because we have been told our whole lives that we can attain anything with enough hard work and determination.

We come across as cocky because in an economy where the labor market is struggling, we feel an urgency to present ourselves in what we see as the strongest, most confident manner possible.

We seem impatient with boredom because we have watched our parents grow full of regret at the amount of their lives eaten up by a seemingly meaningless career.

With everything in consideration, the picture becomes a little more clear. We millennials might have our flaws, and sure we can come across as obnoxious, but we certainly are not good for nothing.

Now how about we get some credit?
