SUGAR COATED
We do most of the things just for the sake of it. No relevance, no context, Just for kicks!!!!
REASON THIS OUT CHILD. Sugar? Yes please, Won't you come and put it down on me I'm right here, 'cause I need Little love and little sympathy Many from this generation have got it like a cakewalk, smooth creamy and easyyy. It’s like everything has another layer to it, be it filters, be it the gram generation, be it relationships and be it opening up to people. Certain perceptions have changed, people have gotten themselves into different bubbles because of how good they need to potray themselves to please others. The real you hides under a thick coating of being the social hype. Nobody likes to face the real them, creating an underconfident and selfconsious people roaming around undercover with multiple personalities and unknown motives. What makes the millennials different? We were born into access. The millennial generation has been granted something a generation hasn’t been given before, access to all of the world’s information at the tip of their fingerprints. We live in a world where virtually anything can be taken care of in a matter of minutes, right from a device that's the size of our palm. The impact on our habits and society is noticeable. Our need for instant gratification is at an all-time high. If we want something, we no longer understand what it means to wait. It also plays a role in ballooning our expectations. Our social network is not an authentic place to connect with friends; instead, it’s become a place to promote the best version of ourselves, whether true or not, to the world. Our increased need for instant gratification -- coupled with increased options and visibility to others’ success -- drives millennials to seek success, contribution and personal growth at a more rapid rate than other previous generations. Technology has accelerated the millennial timeline.

FOUND LOVE IN A HOPELESS PLACE
SINGLE READY TO MINGLE
Millennials are "single, not sorry," and they're making the choice to live life solo intentionally, according to a new survey from the dating app Tinder. In a survey of more than 1,000 single people ages 18-25, Tinder found 72 percent of the surveyed young Millennials "have made a conscious decision" to stay single for a period of time. According to Darcy Sterling, a licensed clinical social worker and Tinder's "relationship expert," this trend for Millennials is a "paradigm shift." "Historically, people blindly set out to cross off items on their young-adult-to-do list: Go to school. Work hard. Find a partner. Get married. Have children. Encourage your children to do the same. Rinse and repeat," she wrote in an email to USA TODAY. "Millennials are questioning norms and societal problems." The survey, asking about young people's views on dating and being single, also found that 81 percent of young people see being single as beneficial in ways beyond just their love lives.
Millennials invest more time in careers, social lives and personal time when single, Sterling said. "We don’t want a world where people’s self-worth is contingent on their relationship status." As a result, these single Millennials find their time with others more enjoyable. More than half said other young single people were more open to new experiences and that they view themselves as more fun due to their single status, the survey found. "What’s most telling is that young Millennials are savoring this time in their lives more than any other generation, recognizing how valuable it is for them," Jenny Campbell, Tinder's chief marketing officer, wrote in an email to USA TODAY
For many young women, single can mean feelings of Independence and Empowerment. Sterling sees this as a positive for society and how young women value their personal lives and careers without making sacrifices due to their love lives. Millennials are apparently saving the marriage institution. Or at least lowering the divorce rate in the country.

UMM, OKAY.....
They are the most extensivelyresearched generation in history, the subject of countless studies, papers,TED Talks, theses and reports. And if you believe what you read, the Millennial generation is responsible for all that ails the world. Millennials are routinely described as insular socialmedia addicts, “sharing”the details of their lives via smartphone yet woefully inept at face-to-face conversation. The generation’s media-darling poster boy, Justin Bieber, is an entitled brat of a man-child. One of its iconic TV series, HBO’s Girls, is known for aimless, narcissistic twenty-somethings bereft of any ambition beyond their next hookup. Millennials have been called self-absorbed, aloof, fickle, lazy and, above all, cheap. A recent Gallup study showed that young adults were spending $13 less in 2015 than they spent in 2008, and concluded that Millennials’ miserly behavior “costs the economy at least $949 million each day.” The Atlantic Monthly recently branded them “The Cheapest Generation” for their refusal to buy homes and cars. For companies across America, large and small, it seems the writing is on the wall: if Millennials haven’t already ruined your business, they will soon. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. The paradox of the Millennial generation is that, despite being so extensively studied and analyzed, American businesses and enterprises still don’t accurately understand them, and often see them as a nuisance or adversary. To succeed, businesses need to come to terms with Millennials, and appreciate how they're motivated by different values and display different behaviors than previous generations of customers. Millennials are fast becoming the driving force in the national and global economy. No business can afford to plan its future based upon media-driven stereotypes and caricatures of the generation whose purchasing power will soon dwarf all others. In future years, as Millennials grow older and their consumer needs expand—into housing, automobiles, home entertainment, financial services, products for their children, and beyond— they will transform those industries as well. And in addition to their own growing salaries, they stand to inherit more than $30 trillion from their Boomer parents giving them unparalleled consumer influence. By the time Millennials begin to reach middle age— less than a decade away— they will have already remade the world in their image.
Millennials have the sunniest outlook of any generation. Their sense of hope endures despite living through the Great Recession and climate change; they’re convinced that better days lie ahead for the economy and the planet
SNAPCHAT Mirror mirror on the wall, which is the best filter of them all? I do not look good, I have pimples and acnes all over my face. I need to impress that boy and look good. I use a lot of filters to cover them up, but I’m not confident to step out because in reality I look ugly AF.
THEN
NOW
While seeing your own imperfections in the mirror is nothing new, having the knowledge about what you could look like without them is. “The more time people spend on social media, the more their brains are being affected by the content they are exposing themselves to. For some, this means it encourages them to view their own, natural appearance as being unacceptable,” says Patrick J. Byrne, MD, board member of the AAFPRS and professor and director of the division of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. (Indeed, for Everyday Health’s United States of Stress story, when asked whether they felt bad about their appearance for any reason, the majority reported with a resounding "yes." About 22 percent of respondents said they felt bad about themselves on a daily basis. Adding to the problem: There’s a desire to repetitively view your social media accounts throughout the day, as they update constantly. In Everyday Health’s stress survey, 57 percent of respondents, including baby boomers and those among Generation Z, reported looking at their social media accounts daily. This “constant checker”— as dubbed by the American Psychological Association, which represents 86 percent of people according to their 2017 Stress in America report — experiences more daily stress than someone who looks at it less often. In fact, 42 percent say they worry about the negative impact social media has on their health; only 27 percent of non-regular checkers say the same. Add to it aesthetic pressures, and you have a recipe for stress, anxiety, and mood problems. Plastic surgeons are seeing this play out in their offices regularly. Typically, when patients come in for a consult, they hold a mirror and, using a Q-tip, point to the areas they’d like to change. Today, these “flaws” may only be seen in a selfie — not a mirror. “[Patients] find it far easier to show me with photos on their phone. They point out imperfections — the nasal tip is too big, the nose is crooked, they have a double chin — that in some cases are next to impossible to see in person,” says Dr. Byrne. This may be an inevitable result of spending a good chunk of time looking at your own photos, he says. The desire to “fix” these imperfections may hit young women the hardest, says Mark Schwartz, MD, a plastic surgeon in New York City, who adds that this group often asks for injectable fillers and Botox, as well as breast augmentation and liposuction to appear like the celebrities they see on social media. “They have grown accustomed to seeing themselves in a somewhat distorted way: on a tiny screen and in photos that have been edited to remove imperfections and take advantage of lighting tricks,” he says. Sam Rizk, MD, a facial plastic surgeon in New York City, also agrees that it’s millennials who are hyperfocused on how they appear on Instagram and Snapchat. “Selfies taken with a ring light and using editing apps and filters can distort [someone’s] self-image. The Kardashians practically invented this phenomenon,” he says. The difference today is the fixation on the small things that people may not have bothered to become consumed with before. “Patients are more obsessed about small imperfections. They like the way they look after they experiment with filters and editing apps. Their tolerance for a bump on their nose, acne breakouts, a little thigh bulge, or thin lips seems to be a little lower than previous generations,” says Dr. Schwartz.

RELATIONSHIPS - NETFLIX AND CHILL Him: Hey babe, Her: Yes? Him: Lets netflix and chill tonight? Her: Sure, which movie? Him: You decide HOURS LATER Netflix: Are you still watching?.....
DISCLAIMER 18+
Recently, in teenage internet circles, the phrase "Netflix and chill" has been inescapable.
ARE YOU
It's a phrase that means, roughly, "hooking up." But it's a lot more complicated than that. "Netflix and chill" is a classic case of social media-fueled semantic drift. It began as a plain, descriptive phrase ("Can't wait to leave work so I can watch Netflix and chill!"), and stayed that way for several years before acquiring a loose sexual connotation ("Wanna come over for Netflix and chill? ;)") and, eventually becoming a known code phrase ("He said he loves me, but I know he just wants to Netflix and chill"). As with most recent internet slang, "Netflix and chill" seems to have originated on Black Twitter before migrating to Instagram, Tumblr, Vine, and the outer reaches of Memeland. And in a way, it's the perfect teenage shibboleth. If you were 16, and your parents caught you texting "Netflix and chill?" to your girlfriend, they might think you were proposing an innocent night of watching Chopped on the couch. Netflix attempts the biggest rebranding in its history—separating its delivery-by-mail and streaming businesses, and renaming the delivery business "Qwikster"—but the effort is a disaster. Customers revolt, the decision is quickly reversed, and the entire business reverts to simply being called "Netflix." Seemingly unaware of any corporate-level turmoil, people on Twitter continue to talk about "Netflix and chill." At this point, "Netflix and chill" has no alternate, subversive meaning. It's just a two-word pairing, or, alternately, a verb phrase that means "to watch Netflix, while chilling." And it's usually performed alone. "Netflix and chill," at this point, is an introvert's metaphor for voluntary solitude.
STILL
WATCHING?
FOOD: IMMA POTATOOO I’m fat. I’m a couch potato because i’m lazy. I’ve been called fat, a pig and rn I don’t even care anymore...Do you? I’ve always bothered everyone else and myself and I’m extremely underconfident about the way I look. I need help. I binge eat while watching something, while I’m stressed. Im self consious just like everyone else is okay?
Millennials are in college, starting new jobs, getting married or having kids. Right now, there are more millennials in the workforce than any other age bracket, and their consumer choices matter. Here’s how this generation is influencing the way we eat. ( These are generalizations based on statistics, and not necessarily true for every millennial you know. Millennials don’t want the same sad burger that everyone else is eating. They want to custom-design the flavor and personalize their meal. And why not? They are paying for the food; it may as well be exactly what they want. If you notice more quick-service restaurants offering customizable options that you love, thank a millennial for that. According to the International Food Information Council’s 2017 Food and Health Survey, 55 percent of millennials say convenience is a top driver when buying food, while baby boomers say taste matters more. Millennials are the drivers behind meal kits, grocery delivery services, food trucks, online ordering and the growth of heat-and-eat options at grocery stores. If you ask a millennial what a “healthy” restaurant food is, they won’t say low-fat or high-fiber. According to statistics, they may tell you it’s food that’s natural, organic, locally sourced or sustainable . That’s why many menus now list the farm where your lettuce was grown or offer organic options. While older shoppers still read labels for information about calories and fat grams, millennials are more interested in how the food was sourced and grown, and how that affects their carbon footprint. Sustainability is a priority for them when buying food at grocery stores or restaurants. Millennials’ awareness of environmental issues has influenced food manufacturers to institute better earth-friendly practices.
WITH LOVE XOXO Millennials like new technologies, and they believe science can solve many of the world’s problems. Millennials have the sunniest outlook of any generation, despite living through 2008’s Great Recession and facing the threats of climate change. While many Millennials trust health care professionals, they’re more likely to turn to Google searches first for health advice. Compared to Gen X and Baby Boomers, Millennial shoppers are more status-conscious when it comes to labels they own. Many will also spend more on products that are environmentally and socially sustainable and Fair Trade Certified. Millennials see travel as an essential part of the work-life balance. They want to travel now. As the biggest demographic in the workforce, Millennials are both high performers and high maintenance employees. They aim to add value and make a difference in the world. WE ARE A WEIRD GENERATION. WE ARE QUIRKY, TECH SAVVY, STILL CATCHING UP WITH THE NEXT GEN. WE ARE FAST, WE ARE SMART, WE ARE QUIRKY, WE RULE THE WORLD
Ok BYE...
