Englishme - Short Stories, The Millenial

The Millenial

There once was a boy named Jack. Jack was going to college soon. Jack was an only child. Jack's parents always gave him whatever he wanted. Jack had his own car, his own basketball court and even his own motorcycle. He didn't spend a dime of his own money though. It was his parents money that bought everything. Jack never had to do without anything.

This made Jack entitled. Jack began to expect everything for free, because he never had to work for anything. In school Jack was the cool kid. Jack was the star football player. Jack had all the girls chasing after him. Jack had a smoking hot girlfriend and partied every weekend. Jack was living the high life. He never expected that all this pleasure, could have a negative effect on him.

When Jack graduated there were big parties and everyone set off on their own paths. Jack was left behind. He went to college for a few months but hated it. He wasn't the coolest kid ever anymore and he didn't have a smoking hot girlfriend. He wasn't a star football player and he didn't have his parents paying for everything.

The time came when Jack had to move out. He was mooching off of his parents for way too long. He cried and pleaded for his parents to not to force him to go, but they weren't having it. Jack packed his things and moved into a friends basement. Jack had no ambition because he never had to try before. Jack felt he was the victim of society and that he shouldn't have to work for what he has. Jack expected the world to give him things for free. So, Jack got nothing in return for nothing.

Jack started to live without his parent's money. Life was very hard and he became depressed. He realized he had to get a job. So he went back to school and finished his degree. His degree gave him a better job and he got more money and so life got easier for him. His parents took him more serious and respected him and so did all his friends. He got another smoking hot girlfriend and life started looking a whole lot better.

The moral of the story is...don't be an entitled millennial and expect everything for free. With hard work a good life can be had. So step it up like Jack did!
