Millennials are a group defined by their birth dates. Like the Baby-Boomers, Millennials have certain characteristics that make them recognizable, other than their birthdays. Millennials usually refer to people born between the years 1977 and 1995. Now being born in 1992, I fit the criteria perfectly in that aspect. How did I score an 84 and not a 100?
Personally, I believe it was how I was raised. My parents are from the Baby-Boomer generation, being born in '54 and '59, so they taught me a few things that may make me seem "old school." We still have a land line phone and aren't completely dependent on our cellphones. Our family watches the local news every evening to keep up with what's going on in the world.
I've developed my own sense of being separate from them though. I'm nearly always on the internet or playing a video game of some sort. I'm also usually texting someone actively, whether it's my boyfriend or just a friend I'm making plans with or haven't seen in a while. You could say I might have my laptop attached to one hand and my phone to the other.
So, let me ask you: How Millennial are you?
