Tim goes on to admit that some friends had helped him register to vote, and he planned to probably make it happen for the midterms. Grow upthe overall sentiment goes.

Life is not that hard. Millennials love to complain about other millennials giving them a bad name. None of these tasks were that hard: getting knives sharpened, taking boots to the cobbler, registering my dog for a new license, sending someone a signed copy of my book, scheduling an appointment with the dermatologist, donating books to the library, vacuuming my car. I was publishing stories, writing two books, making meals, executing a move across the country, planning trips, paying my student loans, exercising on a regular basis.

How, in other words, can I optimize myself to get those mundane tasks done and theoretically cure my burnout? That has required a shift in the way people within and outside of our generation configure their criticism. Many of the behaviors attributed to millennials are the behaviors of a specific subset of mostly white, largely middle-class people born between Even though you may think you can Our parents — a mix of young boomers and old Gen-Xers — reared us during an age of relative economic and political stability.

What Republicans and Democrats agree on right now

As with previous generations, there was an expectation that the next one would be better off — both in terms of health and finances — than the one that had come before.
