I know this is comparatively a negligent issue compared to everything else posted here but I’m really overthinking this. I came back to my room after being in college for like 12hours I had a hella tiring day and one of my roomates friends was lying on my bed. She got up immediately but after a while I just said it to her face that I’d appreciate it if you don’t sit or lie on my bed she apologised and my roomate apologised 2 times later. I was annoyed in the moment so I just said yea whatever but now I’m thinking maybe I was rude. I feel like my roommate wouldn’t have a problem if my friends did that maybe and I have never been good at drawing boundaries without guilt but now I’m thinking maybe I needn’t have said it to their faces and I came across as a grump…

I’m Gen Z but I grew up with 3 millennial aunts so the 2000s were kinda always around me like the music, movies, fashion, YouTube, and all the stories about what life was like back then. Somehow now I feel really nostalgic for a time I never actually experienced. Something about that era just feels so warm and comforting to me. It’s probably because we can become emotionally attached to a time through the people who raised us and the media we grew up with, even if we weren’t old enough to fully live it ourselves.

So I’d love to hear from people who grew up during this time - what are your favorite memories from your teenage/college years?
