The Cold Hard Truth about Life as a Millennial ...

Being a millennial is hard. People judge you all of the time and truth be told, you were raised with a bit of a shelter over your head. I'm an older millennial but still, a millennial all the same and below, I've uncovered some cold, hard, facts about what it's like to live in our generation.

1 You're Probably Completely Narcissistic

And you need to really just own it. All of those selfies? They are your hobby. It's the generation we live in.

2 Most of the Time, You Refuse to do Anything That Requires Effort

That is why there are SO many inventions that make doing nothing easier for us. We're the lazy generation most of the time.

3 We Aren't Loyal

Now, I am an older millennial who deals with younger millennials all the time and this is so effing true. Not happy in your current job? Go to another company instead of sticking it out.

4 You Want More and More Money

Volunteering? You aren't doing that. Most of the time, millennials live for money and want to get paid much more than they are worth.

5 You Feel the Need to Question Everything

Seriously. You meet with your manager and you need to understand why you need to do something. Why do you always need to question every single thing?

6 You Desire a Hell of a Lot of Feedback

It's true, you do, but does the manager constantly have to pat you on the head and tell you-you are doing a good job? Really? Truly? Yep, they probably do.

7 You Have to Learn That You Have to Grow on Your Own

Nobody is going to be in charge of your career or your life. Grow on your own millennials!

8 We Constantly Compare Ourselves to Others

Just because you are starting in an entry-level job and you may not be as talented as your bestie doesn't make you horrible. Stop comparing yourself to everyone in the world Millennials!

9 You've Got to Learn That Quality is Better than Quantity

Millennials I've found are always trying to finish and figure out fifty different things out at once. Slow down and understand, it's about the quality of friends, the quality of the job, the quality of life.

10 You Should Care about Something outside of Work

Volunteering or something – it'll round you out, promise.

11 We've All Got to Learn Patience

Don't be so, so eager!

12 We Really All Are Obsessed with Technology

iPhones, everywhere, all of the time.

13 We Have a Lot of Excuses and Nobody Cares about Them

So give up the excuses folks!

14 While We Think the World Owes Us Something …

It doesn't. At all.

15 Working Hard Can Lead to Promotions

Versus, thinking you get one because you do your job. Not everyone gets a trophy – or a promotion.

16 We Don't Exactly Look for Facts

If it's on the internet, it's true, right?

17 The Value of Hard Work – Isn't Something We Care about

This one can be true for some millennials, but not all.
