    This is the letter of my generation...

    ...a bunch of self-important stock characters who think they're living a Zach Braff movie.

    -The "highly intelligent" young woman supposedly "intensly practical and focused on various goals" but still can't seem to get away from the same "brilliant" emotionally stunted man-boys who couldn't care less about her but she's just too scared of being alone and cultivating an identity for herself without male validation.

    -The mindset that everything foreign is more "exotic" and more meaningful to explore. The mindset that everything middle-American is backward, stupid and full of toothless rednecks who couldn't possibly relate to someone so enlightened.

    -A bunch of directionless, purposeless people with too much time watching television shows from their youth and propagating an image for themselves on social networking sites.

    These are my peers.
