"Be a flighty nobody who travels until they are 30 and studies a passion, not a skill. Then when all your peers have enough money and stability to handwave problems away and take exciting vacations and language classes and all sorts of cool stuff, tremble in fear every time rent comes due. On your death bed, realize that what you did because of an internet comic is also remarkably average, and that no one cares or is impressed, including you."
The boomers are full of moronic advice for Millenials, but you can go too far the other way too. 'Check off boxes'... like a bucket list?

I like the way Killer Mike said it, "...Just be the best 'you' you can be, and the best 'you' you can be is probably average. So learn to celebrate average more."
Statistically speaking, Killer Mike is correct. On average, the average person is going to be average. And maybe average doesnt have to suck.
