There have been many instances where I couldn’t help but concede to the common stereotypes about my generation. It made me often question if there are any benefits to being a Millennial in today’s world.

Our generation, also referred to as Generation Y, is often portrayed as lazy, narcissistic, selfish, greedy, delusional, and the list goes on. But doesn’t every generation has its ups and downs?

Yes, we do approach things very differently compared to previous generations, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

If anything, I believe that Generation X and baby boomers have a lot more to justify. How about you explain Donald Trump? Just kidding. That is not my point here. I simply want us to reflect on the positives of Gen Y because the truth is that we are here to stay, and you’ll have to deal with it — whether you like it or not.
