Millennials don’t have it easy, it can feel like you don’t even have two coins to rub together to make rent (don’t even think about owning property,) but simultaneously you have single-handedly wiped out half the industries on the planet. No power, great responsibility. 

The “Millennial Misery” Instagram page shares funny, relatable, and perhaps painful memes about those born between 1981-1996. So get comfortable with your favorite latte or some avocado toast as you scroll through, be sure to upvote your favorite memes and comment your thoughts and experiences below. We got in touch with Jamie Jackson, the page’s administrator and creator to learn more.

    So they'll teach us how to do drugs because "knowing how and knowing the consequences will keep you safe" but they won't teach us how sex works because "knowing how and knowing the consequence will make you do it"?

    It's pretty easy Mark. Outside pants have belt loops so your wallet and phone and keys don't accidentally make them fall down. Inside pants - no worries - because your cat does not care. -- I mean, I assume, because that's what a friend told me. Yeah, that's the ticket... it was a FRIEND.. lol

    Live in Colorado. The day before Ramsey was killed, a black girl the same age got killed the exact same way but her parents weren't rich white people in Boulder. When Lou Smit, the detective on the Ramsey case, was asked about a possible connection, he replied that they didn't have the manpower to contact the other girl's parents. Her case is also still unsolved.

    .... I came to work the other day in leggings and a camp crystal lake shirt on the other day... The office I work (I'm a medical biller) in doesn't really care. We don't see patients or doctors in person, so no one to impress.
