So basically, millennials are us, also known as Generation Y or the Net Generation. We are those who grew up in an electronics-filled and increasingly online and socially-networked world. We are deemed to be entitled and narcissistic. We are seen as lazy, as happy-go-lucky, but we also tend to be confident having been raised under the mantra "follow your dreams". I won't go into specific details anymore but if you want to read more about how they describe millennials, check this article.

Ever since I've lived with my best friend, she and I have been nonstop including "millennial problems" in our daily conversations whenever we encounter things that we deem as unnecessary "trouble" of today's generation. We have this inside joke and we can't stop laughing as we make fun of the most irrelevant things we can think of. We even joked about writing a book about it, haha! Tell us if writing a book is a good move...

• Ang hina ng internet, I can't upload my IG story!

These are just some of the "millennial problems" we've accumulated and thought of through time. Do you find anything in the list above that you can relate to? If yes, then you're obvsly a millennial. 😂 I'm sorry if my non-Filipino readers won't understand some of these scenarios, I decided not to translate them because I think if I would, the humor would be lost. 

Don't take this post too seriously, it is purely just for fun so I hope nobody gets offended. 😉 I, too, relate to most of the things I listed above and that is actually why my best friend dubbed me as a "millennial". I didn't get angry, in fact, I embraced being one because I am one!

Do you have more of these so-called "millennial problems"? I'd love to hear them 😁 Let's talk in the comments section below. 👇👇👇 Till then!
