Tina Mende: Milllennial The Generation Y

Tina Mende
Businesswoman

Born: 1992

MILLENNIALS ARE: Techie. We are very much enticed with technology, we post our every move on Facebook or Twitter, and we have lost our privacy.

YOLO CONCEPT: You only live once concept is mainly adapted by our generation through parties, drinking at bars and I don’t happen to agree with this because in the sense that we only die once as well, we have to take care of our health and most especially our being.

LOVES DRAMA: Me, I crave for drama I am not saying that I have this perfect relationship with my boyfriend but we are always happy sometimes I would just like to make up a fight just so we could have this so called drama, maybe also because I love being persuaded after a fight, it’s so sweet. Because of drama life’s not boring, there’s this thrill that you get to anticipate the ups and downs of life.

RELIGION & FAITH: I changed my religion before I was Catholic now I am a Christian. Now, I understand our God even more, it affects my daily decisions in life, I talk to him because God watches our every move, every minute of everyday just like when he is there for us 24/7.

MOBILE DEVICE ADDICT: In the morning, whenever I have free time I do check my phone. Oh my God! I am an addict it can be both a good thing and a bad thing, good because of all the information that we can get out of the Internet, and mostly your phone is your alarm clock, your daily reminder.

TRAVELLING: There is this fulfillment I get out of travelling, especially me I do not like to stay in just one place and because of me wanting to travel I would work hard even more to save because we are hungry for that experience and it can be a feast to your eyes and soul.

HEARTBREAK AND BEING LOST: Well, I had my fair share of being crazy and in-love it affected my studies, the relationship I had with my sisters and most especially my friends because I just centered my life around him and he did not merely reciprocate the love I gave him and eventually he decided to just break up with me at first yes I was devastated but because of that I learned a lot about myself and I am happier now and it got me to thinking YOU HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THE WORST INORDER TO BE WITH THE BEST.

GOOD TRAIT, BAD TRAIT: I just laugh it off when people has something bad to say about me, I do not know why in this generation we really love to judged but I have to say I am matured enough to know how to handle these things.

WEALTH: I just asked my boyfriend that question a couple of days ago, is money important? And he just said no and I have to disagree because you can’t really do anything with your life with no money, but I believe you have to earn it.

JOB/CAREER: I do business now and I must say I am happier; I started small with just even one staff but at least slowly but surely. I would like to prove it to other people that I can also provide for my family and myself as well.

POLITICAL VIEWS: I graduated from international studies and I have a boyfriend whose family is very politically affiliated and because of that I got to relate politics to myself to what it can do to our country and I think that it is very important that we must really associate our self with the government for our own sake to know our rights.

BALANCE IN LIFE: I have a goal in my mind I really want to buy my mom a house and even a car because and it is a process but I must say I have a balanced life now from work to love and even life.

TO MY CO-MILLENNIALS: It’s okay to be lost because then you’ll learn what would really make you happy.
