Millenials have no idea about such things...

I'm sure one or two of them were holding back, but it is probably pretty accurate. I've asked every semester since, and I've never had fewer than half admit to it. Many universities don't even have school papers in hard copy anymore. They've just last year discontinued the printed Onion in Austin.

Look it doesn't matter but you are smart enough to know one of these kids has been to a doctor's appointment or something even if all 23 households with the means to send their kids to college didn't buy the paper.

Hm, I get your point (though I'm not sure that I've ever been to a doctor's office with the paper available. Lots of magazines, sure).

Who knows, they could have been lying. But that particular semester they were all part of a specific "scholars" program in which the University admits students from underrepresented high schools -- i.e. primarily rural, poor, hispanic school districts. Not completely crazy to suppose that their parents didn't have the Wall Street Journal or the USA Today​ delivered on Sundays.
 
maybe they were just lazy and didn't feel like responding to your question about a handling a newspaper
 
Millenials do catch too much crap. Every generation says the same thing about the one coming up behind them...oh they are not hardworking, they are entitled...the same stuff was said about Generation X, the same thing was said about the boomers in the hippie era. I work with and manage a bunch of "millenial" age lawyers and they are great. They are more tech savvy and admittedly sometimes tech addicted...they need to learn that not every text needs to be answered immediately and be followed with 20 other texts, and they might not need 100 apps on their iPhone, and that you actually have to go network face to face with potential clients and contacts; twitter and a website is not sufficient marketing. But other than that they are just another generation of Americans. The people who bitch about millenials remind me of my crotchety Dad trying to set the VCR...
 
I love when Millenials catch blame for things that we clearly had nothing to do with. Boomers hand out participation trophies and then bitch about the participation trophy generation like we're the ones handing them out.
 
Born in '91 and I understand each one. I remember reinstalling W95 on my COMPAQ tower with 3.5 discs, I blew in my Nintendo cartridges, and I looked behind cases at Blockbuster.

Christ, I listened to a portable CD player on the bus ride to and from High School every day. It had optional skip protection and bass boost too.

This is just wrong. Kill the thread with fire.

Not carrying drinking water around all day long.

thought about this one just yesterday. when did that become a thing? i remember showing up at WFU and seeing everyone with those damned nalgene bottles. Still a huge thing.

Now i never carry water unless i'm hiking or something.
 
Hyper hydration became a "thing" in the 90's. Women wonder why they have to go to the bathroom all the time. Then they chug another 6 gulps at their desk.
 
lol people will complain about anything, including hydration
 
I think the whole water bottle thing was just meant to replace all the plastic bottles Boomers love to waste.

My mom has a Brita filter at her house, and still insists on only drinking bottled water at home. She goes through a case a week easily. I have bought her nice water bottles on more than one Xmas/bday, and she just doesn't use them.

In terms of hydration, I don't know how new the medical understanding of its importance is, but I doubt it's only been passed down to this generation. Maybe millennials (two n's people) are just all alcoholics who need it to recover during the workday.
