The Worst Advice To Get In Your 20's

hi I'm cracked associate producer Bridgette Greenberg and Here I am on the Internet where people from all over the world come together to share opinions and ideas and we messed it up you guys messed it up bad see the internet is mostly written by Millennials who don't have that much life experience the bright ideas we end up sharing around with each other are mostly stuff we've picked up from movies and television that we're we're Girja tating back out to each other in listicle form like this article from Thought Catalog where the author gives advice ranging from yeah I guess I was probably gonna get around to that anyway to what they should are you talking about to this authors trying to get me killed look if you're able to backpack around the world by all means go but make a plan unless your last name is Neeson and your dad's name is Liam in that case still make a plan things didn't go great for the daughter in that movie know twenty-something is qualified to give another twenty-something advice about being 20-something it's pretty obvious the writers are getting advice from things they've seen in movies specifically ones where middle-aged lady wears a tan sweater like under the Tuscan Sun er it's complicated or Eat Pray Love or a TV show where the main character wears down hat and there's so many of these articles and get reposted all over the Internet so it might be time for me to break down some of the more problematic pieces of advice like this one from elite daily struggle he made the decision to struggle you're probably not doing it you're just using the term struggle incorrectly like in the IMDB synopsis of Bridget Jones diary much like they do with the spelling of the name Bridget Tootie's by the way they use the word struggle incorrectly age weight and lack of a man isn't a struggle to problem Holly what's making up exam B's or more entourage reunions sure you should work hard for something try a thing you might fail at go to work hungover I'm doing it now just don't call it a struggle because while it may be difficult for you to sleep in the apartment you may or may not fully pay for because of a homeless person yelling outside you are not struggling the screaming homeless person is you're just complaining it travels another piece of advice that gets thrown around all the time look I'm sure travelling is great there's nothing wrong with traveling though telling people to travel make you the worst the response I have to someone telling me I should travel is the exact same response I would have to someone telling me I should become Catwoman sounds great and I would love to and I've given it a lot of thought maybe I could I just I don't have the time or resources right now also have others to do you know for the adult life I'm trying to start you know who gets travel women in movies like under the Tuscan Sun or Eat Pray Love these are accomplished women a solid careers they've had for a while and divorce settlements coming their way not a twenty-something with student loans in the comparative lit degree maybe one day I'll be a retired divorcee drinking wine in the Italian countryside but for now it's tinder date some beer in a can because your 20s are fun and magical time since I brought up student loans let's bring it back to the thought catalog article because it is dangerously stupid a dock catalog gives us this irresponsible nugget of wisdom give your credit card a workout for the love of God do not do that the author here clearly doesn't know what credit is probably because the card isn't really theirs this shouldn't need to be said but now I'm actually terrified it does credit follows you it's like the permanent record teachers used to scare you with in grade school but unlike setting your class pet free credit isn't a fun in all areas joke credit comes back to bite you like a scared loose hamster them is a bad analogy this advice is so bad it could only come from the mecca of privileged white lady hijinks sex in the city we've all heard the criticisms of this show so there's no need to rehash the fact that there's no way these women have jobs if they're getting drunk every weekday afternoon we all know this shows ridiculous I mean the only way any of this could possibly make sense as if carrying the gang just lived outside the lawn stole everything they encountered and used the high-powered men in their lives as a cover to help them blend in oh my god The Sex and the City characters are Catwoman I I'm so sorry I I have to go rethink everything can someone look up the next flight to Tuscany hey guys thanks so much for watching that video you can click like if you liked me personally or subscribe to the channel if you liked the other people on the channel better than me to see their videos or leave a comment and tell me why my face is weird or whatever you were gonna say anyway just just do it I don't care they're paying me
