Simpler times

I grew up in the '80s and '90s, and life back then was… simpler. Technology didn't rule every aspect of our existence, and social media was just a sci-fi dream. Gen Z on the other hand… Well, they're practically being raised by their smartphones. I definitely admire their spirit to talk back, stand up for themselves, and change social norms, but they're also showing serious signs of communication issues, are overly sensitive, and have the attention span of a goldfish. Plus, they document everyt…

Count your blessings, parents

Yay for the New Year...

Part of being a single person in the digital age requires big swings online.

Does anybody out there have an experience where HR actually stepped in and helped serve real justice? Because the internet is really convincing us that HR either does nothing or, more obviously, is only there to cover the butts of the company. Because of this department's incompetence, many of us have had to learn how to appropriately and professionally handle award situations in the workplace . And unfortunately, this tends to land on women. For example, one female employee did something that…

There are too many touch screens, iPad-dependent parents are screw ups, music is too loud, and everyone needs to get the heck off my lawn!

She wakes up at 5am every day, but she has no regrets—she gets rewarded everyday at her job with the beautiful breathtaking ocean views.

So many of us simply do not have the toolbox to handle stress well. So what do we do instead? We come across memes on the Internet and send them to our besties with a one-word message that reads "me."

Each generation has their own way of handling stressful situations. The older generation, like boomers and Gen X, are all about holding that shame within yourself. Millennials recognized this and are actively trying to end that thought process, but it is a process to unlearn these things. However, Gen Z is straight up over it. They are done taking entitled management's sh*t, pardon our french. And, honestly, us millennials applaud them. That is exactly what we were working towards, so bravo! Th…

There is no arguing that the work culture that the boomers got started in is completely different than what it is now. Millennials and even older Gen Z are not happy with the mess the baby boomers have left us . We are exploited, abused, and simply put, not paid even remotely enough. After rent, groceries, gas, and other living necessary bills and expenses, we hardly have anything left of our salary. Lucky for us, unlucky for boomers, millennials and Gen Z workers have woken up and are starting…

Each generation has their own little quirks and idiosyncrasies that make them all unique and special in some way. For some generations, they were incredibly lucky and others are typically blasé. Some are forgotten and others are just insane. However, one thing is for certain… Every generation hates the millennials for one reason or another (the millennials even hate themselves, so it's all in good fun).

When traveling, it's always a little nerve-racking planning ahead. You may have done everything you were supposed to do in a very organized fashion, but sometimes life has different plans for you and you have to improvise. Though a very popular choice, Airbnb can be risky when finding a place to stay because it's just regular ole' folks hosting people for some extra bucks—it's not a legit hotel. But sometimes the price is worth the risk… SOMETIMES. Recently, a video went viral of a girl going O…

It is another classic boomer vs millennial dilemma . Here we have a millennial son-in-law having to stand up for his generation (yet again) to his boomer mother-in-law who calls anybody younger than her a millennial, and millennials are lazy folk who don't want to work. This story takes place in an amusement park. A millennial family with the boomer grandparents included, took a spring vacation to an amusement park. The park had just opened for the season, so it wasn't as full of visitors, but…

Older generations think that millennials and Gen Z have no work ethic. Obviously that's not true across the board, it's just that younger folks aren't inclined to work for jobs with no benefits, living wages, or humanity. One millennial recently got accused of faking being sick at work to get out of his shift, even though he had a fever, chills, and was violently ill in the bathroom.

Shockingly, it appears that the Gen X and Millennials finally agree on something...
