It seems like millennials have gone through it all - good and bad. They’ve lived through recessions, skyrocketing housing prices, natural disasters, a pandemic, and avocado toast’s reputation. At the same time, they witnessed the rise of the Internet and are the most educated and tech-savvy generation in the current workplace. Being a millennial truly comes with its own set of unique experiences.

Grandmas are awesome. I got to talk to mine last mother's day via video call. A*s crack of dawn for me, but it was worth it. The first words out her mouth was "You look so old..." Thanks Granny... XD
Ladies! What do we want? We want pockets! When do we want them? We want them NOW!
Telling my mom that! Catholic school, pregnant at 16, mom at 17. She made D@MN sure my sister and I knew as much as possible by 5th grade, the year girls watched "a special film". Lots of girls parents refused to allow them to watch it. By 9th grade we had a lot of teenage mothers.
That would work with Dr Who! They're always running. Sometimes I can't watch it because it makes me tired.
Not when you bring the guy to grandma. Pots of tea and enough sandwiches and scones to feed an army
OK even highschool aged me would have considered this an INSANE schedule. Like, do you people never rest and play? I got home from school around 1:30 pm, spent the afternoon reading or on the phone with my friends and then tried to fit all homework in 30 minutes before dinner.
At the end of the year they even check with you if they''ve tracked you correctly
SNL made a hilarious skit about this one. "December to Remember Car Commercial". Check it out!

When my daughter was at an age that she wanted to see New Year in but had nowhere near the stamina we’d have a party that ran ‘late’, I’d cue up a YouTube video of a countdown to midnight, we’d be telling her at around 2030 that New Year was nearly with us and at 2100 we’d turn the tv on, play the video countdown, celebrate with party poppers, a special New Year hot chocolate and a banana. She was happy that she’d seen midnight 😜 we tucked her up in bed and we’d all be in bed by 2200. Result.
Boomers didn’t write any of those songs or make them popular. The sainted ‘greatest generation’ and the 1900 generation did. Along with giving us Hitler and Stalin.
