I never finished undergrad.

3.5 in civil engineering. Including 3 summer schools and an inter session. Here's a tip, don't drop classes and don't major in engineering if you can't test into calculus. Just because momma said you're smart doesn't make it so. Bless his heart he just doesn't test well. No, he's a moron.

I did not test into calculus (had to take math 1023 my first semester) and I dropped 2 classes and still graduated in 4.5 years. I also made an A in calc1, B in calc 2, and A in calc 3. If you work hard you can do anything you want. Some people honestly just don't test well.

Millennial here.



No one has tightly pinned down the proper dates for the Millennial Generation. The dates for Gen X are too wide though. 60s to 80s is way too wide. You could never wrap people from those three decades into a similar group of traits. Generations are no longer 20 year intervals. They have been getting shorter.

The Strauss Howe model or whatever it's called needs to be modified.

And the dates for beginning of Millennials start way too early. It was originally thought they would graduate high school in 2000 and we all know that is way too early for what we now call Millennials.

Some people that think they are Millennials are really Gen Y which is what some wanted to name Millennials to begin with. But it was so catchy to think of the new millennium that the concept got legs in anticipation of those graduating high school in 2000.

As this works itself out Boomers will be roughly 46-65, Gen X 66-79, Gen Y 80-91, Millennial 92-03, Gen Z 04-12.

My opinion is that because politics has become more and more divisive, generational timelines have moved more toward presidential term / political trend timelines, so on the order of 8-12 years. I think we'll see Gen Z actually be a very short generation because there's been a strong push back against dominant political dialog since 2012, culminating with Trump's election this year. So Z could end up being about 8 years. After Z I believe we enter a period of stability and they begin to widen again.

True Millennials are in for a rough ride in the coming years and if you think Millennials get rough treatment from 'OT grandpas' just wait till Gen Z finds its voice. They are going to despise Millennials with white hot passion.

5 years. But that's with attending 3 different campuses and losing some credits.

4.5 years. Though my last semester involved playing football and taking water aerobics. That was the only class I had to take and it was only a half semester. Only reason I didn't finish in the spring was because I had a season of eligibility. Not sure how people don't finish in 4 years. I'll give athletes 4.5-5 years because of redshirt years. But everyone else is a fricktard (unless you are in a 5 yr engineering program too I guess).
