“Outsourcing Adulthood” Doesn’t Cut It
Every week, I swear, I read a new smear piece on why “Millennials,” aka human beings aged 23-38, are not doing it right.

Nope, I’m Not “Adulting” Anymore
I’m writing this post on the WordPress app from the lobby of my local bank, where I’m waiting to open a savings account and order checks for my checking account, and one word is reverberating through my head loud enough to drown out the whiny Muzak being pumped through the bank lobby: “ADULTING” Adulting: I…

Millennials
Me in 1987, full Millennial mode. Wearing a tiara like the princess I *think* I am. Typical entitled Millennial. My name is Meghan. I was born in 1984. I am a Millennial. I grew up reading Goosebumps books on the swing set in my suburban backyard, watching Chris Farley on Saturday Night Live on a…
