Media's been hating on the twenty-somethings...what gives??New York Times hits a little too close to home (What Is It About 20-Somethings?) - we have sociologists freaking out because it's taking us so long to “transition to adulthood”... as marked by five milestones: completing school, leaving home, becoming financially independent, marrying and having a child.
Pardon?
Do these sociopaths want to please approach The Boss Man and demand raises for us? Because milestone #2 and #3 require dineros/cahones. Call it a failure to launch or call it entry level jobs but there's definitely a grace period nowadays. Can we do a study on middle-aged women and artificial insemination (a la Jennifer Aniston and J-Lo's new movies??)
These are terrible milestones. And they need a facelift:
- completing school ...with distinctions in Tappa Tappa Kegga
- leaving home...of the stranger you met at the bar last night. do not exchange numbers
- becoming financially independent...by way of new credit cards at your favorite mall stops!
- marrying...whoa there slugger. think before you leap.
- having children...thing is...LIFE - the first half is ruined by your parents and the second half is destroyed by your kids so capitalize on your 20s bitch.
C'mon Colby, pack yer shit.
