I’m a millennial, and not one of those “barely there” millennials. I’m in the thick of it. I’m 24. There’s no doubt that I’m one of them. Does it bother me? OF COURSE it does. The stereotypes are annoying, but they actually apply to a LOT of millennials. It’s unfortunate. I’m not going to sit here and pretend that my entire generation is NORMAL. It’s not. My generation is generally selfish, entitled and whiny. They’re “triggered” by ideas that challenge their own. They require safe spaces and emotional support animals. They’re professional social justice warriors and the ULTIMATE low-fos. Also, they eat rainbow bagels and I don’t know why.
I know what I’m talking about. I went to a liberal arts college. I went to school with these people. Of course, that was before things got REALLY bad. I can’t imagine how unbearable my campus is now.
*shudders*
Last night, I noticed #DeepThoughtsFromMillennials trending, and I knew we were in for a roast fest.
I’m not above making fun of myself. I take selfies sometimes. (Not often, but sometimes. Mostly when I’m with Kimber. We selfie.) I have tech gadgets. I drink Starbucks. Still, I thought these were HILARIOUS.
What if I can….even? #DeepThoughtsFromMillennials

Brilliant.
Do want to be a vegan or a vegetarian 🌱 #DeepThoughtsFromMillennials
— Gretel Armstrong (@GretelSugar) January 9, 2018
I still don’t understand why going vegan is a trend among my people. Wait. Yes I do. It makes them feel like ~good people~.
My tweet should be entitled to trend #DeepThoughtsFromMillennials

Should I hardly work or work hard at not working?

If my participation trophy falls in Mom's basement and I'm not there to hear it, does it make a sound?

I guarantee someone has tried this already.
Don't ask yourself "What can my country do for me?"
Ask yourself, "What can my country, my parents and my friends do for me?"#DeepThoughtsFromMillennials— Hillary Miller (@CricketArt67) January 9, 2018

#DeepThoughtsFromMillennials but first let me take a selfie
— MikealaSunshine (@Alohababe2011) January 9, 2018
If you don’t post a selfie at least four times a day, how will everyone remember what your face looks like?
OMG. Why can't the government just print out and give everyone a million dollars so poverty no longer exists? #DeepThoughtsFromMillennials

Pretty sure I went to school with people who wondered…
I wonder how long it will take me to pay off my art history degree working at Shake Shack. #DeepThoughtsFromMillennials

Full disclosure. I have a red, white and blue tank top that says “USA Is BAE.” I still wear it.
If you don’t post it on social media, did it even happen? #DeepThoughtsFromMillennials
— Nina (@GirlInHerPJs) January 9, 2018
Nope. Hence the importance of gym selfies.
#DeepThoughtsFromMillennials What is the most complicated drink I can order from Starbucks?

That is the question.
It sucks that LIBERAL millennials have ruined our reputation as a whole, but it is what it is. All we can do is prove them wrong by doing what we do. Right non-RompHim wearing millennials?
