I am a millennial and I am proud.
Here I am spilling all the tea on all the things: my life as a consultant, as a Long Islander; my past lives in the wine biz and as a 30 year old grad student; and the various random adventures that I’ve encountered along this crazy thing called life - like cross-country road trips, exotic jaunts to NYC, etc.
So #sorrynotsorry because this is what we Millennials do - overshare and complain.
Happy reading!
Millennials are those born between 1980 and 1994.
We are an often misunderstood people and are known to completely baffle the Gen Xers and Boomers before us. We are often thought of as lazy and self-entitled and much to the chagrin of those aforementioned groups, we expect to actually feel accomplished by the jobs we take on and hope to not just take home a paycheck but make an impact on the world too.
Also, we are absolutely under no circumstances to be confused with Gen Z - have you seen TikTok recently? Those kids are straight up crazy.
We are blamed for everything wrong with… well, just about everything these days - most notably for the proliferation of the selfie; sorry not sorry. What else are you supposed to post on the ‘gram? Did I mention we have some fun catchphrases of our own too? You’re welcome for making ‘Netflix and chill’ a thing.
Most of us are under heaping piles of student loan debt, believe that society can and should change to be more inclusive, and frequently use “af” at the end of terms for emphasis.
I’m a millennial and I’m proud.
These are my stories, thoughts, commentaries on the world, tales from exciting faraway adventures, etc.
