Millennials Will Definitely Remember These Things

Millennials are defined as anyone born between 1981 and 1996. We get a lot of heat for ruining basically everything but really all we want to do is escape from the pressures of adulting by seeking comfort in the memories of our childhood.

If you’re a Millennial looking for a moment of escape, see if you remember these 13 things that contributed to Millennial childhood experience.

1. So satisfying:

Like returning a library book.

I remember the texture of these being…weird.

The best phones have physical keyboards.

Back when the playground equipment could give you splinters for days…

…and building with these bricks made you feel super strong.

Do you see a scratch?

Ah, that’s better. As Millennials we get a bad rap, but honestly, I think we’re lucky. We were lucky to grow up when we did. We got to experience the world before and after the turn of the millennium, and the rise of social media. And no matter how stressful life gets, we’ll always have those memories to keep us going.

Which one of these memories gives you the warm fuzzies? Let us know in the comments!

Things That Millennials Did for the Last Time

Where are all the Millennials at? Gen Y (as in “Why were we dealt this crappy hand?”) is in the house.

Only true Millennials can appreciate these 11 things Millennials did, that we will never do again. In some cases, for the better, in others…well, let’s just say kids today can’t appreciate how much simpler things were back in the day.

1. Take the packaging off of a brand new CD:

Such a satisfying feeling. That plastic was slippery.

2. Play outside with friends:

A little part of me just died inside.

3. Replace dead batteries w/ partially used batteries:

You want to get your moneys worth!

4. Log into AIM:

*sound of a door opening*

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

5. Log into Myspace:

Who’s in your top 8?

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

6. Use T9 to send a text:

I don’t miss this.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

7. Find a toy in your box of cereal:

When did plastic spoons that change color in milk stop being cool?!

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

8. Burn a Mix CD:

Mix CDs were the best gifts.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

9. Print out your MapQuest directions:

Mom wouldn’t let me leave home without this.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

10. Watch a VHS tape:

Jokes on you! I still have all of my bootleg VHS tapes!

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

11. REWIND that VHS tape:

True dat.

Now I’m feeling all the feels.

You whipper snappers may have Disney+ but I had an entire collection of bootleg VHS tapes. Pus Myspace wasn’t nearly as addictive as social media is today, and you certainly didn’t want your parents getting one. Ah, oh well. At least we have the memories.

My fellow Millennials, which one of these do you relate to most?

Here Are Some Things That Only Millennials Will Appreciate

I may be on the cusp of Millennial-hood, but I’ll claim this identity proudly. Let the world hate us. At least we have brunch.

Now that we’ve killed just about everything worthwhile (sorry American cheese), it’s time to sit back and revel in our us-ness.

Here’s 10 things that only Millennials will appreciate.

1. Ah, yes:

Is it bad that I still don’t know what this is?

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

2. Checking movie times in the newspaper:

Remember print media?

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

3. Why?

Because we could.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

4.Using LimeWire to download music:

We were so cool.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

5. Renting movies from Blockbuster:

This used to be a staple of my daily life.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

6. Listening to new music through headphones in the store:

Going to the store to buy music. What a time.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

7. When it seemed every teacher had these in their class:

Or those strawberry candies in the strawberry wrapping.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

8. I’m not going to tell you what that is:

If you’re truly a Millennial, you’ll know.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

9. Always rewind before returning to the store:

It’s just common curtesy.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

10. Landlines:

I genuinely do miss the feeling of a REAL phone in my hand. Not a tiny computer.

The best thing about being a Millennial isn’t the crushing student loan debt or the fact that people think we’re lazy despite the fact that a lot of us have multiple jobs just to get by. The best part of being a Millennial is the fact that we knew the world before.

We straddle he gap between millenniums. So we can appreciate a VHS tape just as much as the newest Apple product.

Which one of these do you relate to the most? Let us know in the comments!
