Generation Y: Breaking Stereotypes by Raising Funds and Doing Good

Lazy, disinterested, apathetic, self-absorbed and entitled — what do all of these adjectives have in common? These terms have been used to describe "Generation Y," the class of people born between the early 1980s and the late 1990s (also commonly referred to as "Gen Y"). These generalizations have bothered me for some time, as I’m a member of this community. I literally laughed out loud (LOL) as I read how we all apparently mooch off mom and dad. I worked two jobs in college and paid for it myself, as was the case for many of my peers.
