People Failing Like Only Millennials Can

Lots of people like to bag on millennials for lots of reasons—like killing the diamond industry or buying too many avocados and ruining the economy. I think those accusations are a little out of hand.

Really, the ways we fail ourselves are a lot more simple than that, like by sending a text to the wrong person, or accidentally ordering way too man tiny hats.

We're not stealing sweaters anymore, ladies, we are taking socks, and we will be taking them while they wear them. Yes, they'll be sweaty and stinky, but this is the price we have to pay.

Millennials love to google things, and we also love to think about the worst-case scenarios. This is what happens when you have anxiety about everything and low self-esteem to boot.

Not really sure what the purpose of ordering all those tiny hats is unless they're going to have cat rodeo, in which case, not only is this excusable, it's encouraged.

There is a certain thrill that comes from thinking that a celebrity or influencer has liked one of your posts or followed you back, but it should be known that it probably isn't gonna be them. You're not interesting enough.
