This Millennial Writes A Rant On How Weird It Is To Be 25-35 Years Old
Often news headlines characterize millennials as entitled, lazy, self-obsessed and infantile people. This generation of young adults are mercilessly criticized for their use of social media, inability to become financially stable, take care of household chores and harming the economy by ‘killing’ various industries. In the sea of opinions, young adults often feel alienated and misunderstood which leads to them openly sharing their frustrations online. While baby boomers are judging millennials for their smartphone use and love of avocado toast, young adults are trying to prove how much the world has changed since boomers were young, by revealing how their life truly looks like.
A user named brujahinaskirt took to Tumblr to express her opinion on what it’s like to be a millennial. In a paragraph-long rant, she skillfully touches every worry a young adult has, making her words relatable for many.

Share on FacebookI am a millennial and was able to put myself through college with no debt by going to community college first and only taking classes I could afford while working full time. It took me ten years, but I did it without debt and with my broke parents asking me for money. I pulled myself out of poverty and am debt free except for the house i own. My car is a thirteen year old yaris because I refuse to buy anything I cannot afford outright. And it runs great because I take care of it.
At *a week shy of* 37 years old I'm a Gen Xer or Millennial, depending on what your definition of each is. I am in a similar place as you, but growing up my parents prepared me for the financial investment college was going to be. Money was deposited into my bank account for Christmas & birthdays rather than getting presents like my friends, and I sacrificed extracurricular's in lieu of a job in both high school and college. But not everyone is that lucky; my ex-husband was under the assumption his parents had a savings for him; but when it came time to go to college he was given a loan application and was told "good luck" which is what a lot of new college students hear. Thankfully, because of my financial position and both of our full time jobs, we were able to pay his debt off in 10 years. But had it been both of us with loans that would have never happened.
Load More Replies...I tend to disagree with all theese "Boomers"/"Miennials"/"gen x" whatnots, but this one actually seems to fit (at least my) reality. Only, add some people complaing about the cost of ther mountain cabin and boat while those my age might never own a house.
I may be a millennial, who is still struggling to get her finances in order, but I can cook a damn casserole that'll make you forget how to pronounce "macaroni and cheese".
