My generation tends to see a lot of criticism lately. Gen Y, people born between 1980 and 2000, is often described as self-absorbed, lazy, and lacking in basic knowledge. We have difficulty with problem solving, failure, learning from mistakes, and having unrealistic expectations.

Since this is a memoir told from the perspective of a Gen Y-er, I can safely say without any hesitation at all, that we’re nothing like that at all. At least not all of us. Some of us might be worse.

In this particular tale, you will be riding shotgun with me as I will regale you, the reader, of life walking a mile in my shoes. How does a misanthrope forced to live with his mother managed to make a comeback of comebacks after a series of unfortunate events?

Adulting, that’s what. Which may include, scheming, backstabbing, waiting tables, and some generational trauma on the side.

You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You may be taken back a little. But this will be an interesting little true story that will catch you by surprise.
