I know I misspelled the title.
Dear Future Elizabeth,
What the actual heck are you doing? Finish the millennial paper. Do it. Have someone read over it before you finally turn it in. I know you hate other people reading your stuff, but you need to do so, so that it isn't just total ramblings before it becomes a grade. Elizabeth, I know you are perfect, and perfection comes from friendship. Get friendship to look over your final draft, then make it a final draft. Does that make sense? Yes.
Begin reading that article due at 10. Make a journal entry for it as well as finishing up the journal entry that was due Monday and all the other ones due last month. You're doing great, kiddo!
Lots of love and hugs and kisses,
Yours Truly,
Past Elizabeth A. McKnight

Journal Entry 18 (Attendance Project)
1. Re-writing and revising, to me, simply means adding on to what I was posing as my first draft of a paper. I fill in cracks to get closer to word count and make the paper more coherent in whatever atrocity I had typed previously.
2. My current re-writing process is to fix my "rough" draft. My rough drafts are typically outlines heavily filled in.
3. My ideal re-writing process would be having just to fill in some gaps and make the paper more coherent to the average reader, not just me.
4. I don't like re-writing, for all it really does is remind me of my present academic failures. Currently, as in the last two years of my educational career, I find that pulling all the documents I need up onto my desktop with some video playing in the background. I find that I need as many senses occupied at once to concentrate, and seeing all the documents in front of me is rather crucial. Having all of one thing right in front of my face when I need to concentrate is good.
5. I don't like having other people edit my papers, but I need them to in order to fix my grammar mistakes. It's important. I like looking for grammar mistakes and sentence structure in the papers of others.
6. As stated above, I don't like peer editing, but I will acknowledge it's assistance in my success.

Millenial Ideas (Journal Entry 17)
Being a millennial means listening to older generations gripe about millennials.
A good song to describe it would be "Baepsae" by BTS, just saying.
Arguments about this is either the best or worst time to be alive in history.
Millennials typically have it easy as they are the tech generation.
I guess another example would be that Vince Vaughn movie about Google interns and how they are really old but still et to work at Google.
Being a millennial is about making the next new thing.
What people think about being a millennial:
Lazy
Always on thier phone
"Hook-up culture"
Dress inapproprietly
Protest too much, don't understand "history"
"Inventing" useless things
No motivation
Never finish school, drop out of high school, don't even apply to college
Group all "millennials" together
I do not think of myself as a millennial. I mean, I assume I am at the core; I'm always on my phone, I'm lazy and fit into the obiesity epidemic of America. I follow the herd and protest stuff that older generations don't care about and get upset over when we bring it up. But also, I'm a lady? I wear white gloves and eat finger sandwiches at tea time. I read Emily Post and watch Clark Gable movies, I like to think I'm the "old soul". But also, wouldn't that just make me even more of a millennial? Thinking I'm above myself? Or is that just narcissim?

Response to "Not Every Kid Bond Matures" (Journal Entry 16)
I will once again be responding as I read the article:
First paragraph in and this guy already sounds pretentious.
What does the author mean when he says, "politics did did not line up with the generations"? I know he goes on to explain himself, but I just do not see his reasoning behind using that phrase. I don't get it.
He lists famous marches and protests and uprisings, saying they are/did take place because of "the young". I mean... yeah. But also each generation has different feelings on etiquette and protesting. Of course "the young" are the ones going out and protesting! The older generation of... well, each generation is majorally against what is being protested against. That's kind of the point of protesting. Older people are in charge, and the young want to change it in order for thier future to be how they want. And so on and so on.
Who is this guy to say "the destruction of childhood"? Uhm? He can back up? Does he not think that once girls were widely accepted into learning institutions, thier elders got upset because they would forget how to milk the grass and mow the cows? Never mind.
I'm glad he describes the photo taken in Charlottesville. I always love hearing the stories behind the photos taken at protests. Like the one from Ferguson of the man who picked up a firing can of tear gas to throw it back? I never knew what the photo was until someone informed me. I'd like to see the photo mentioned in this article.
