According to the Pew Research Centre, people aged between 22 to 37 in 2018 (born between 1981 and 1996) are considered as millennials. Sometimes, as millennials, we do certain things that don’t need science and research to tell us that. Our lifestyle proves it. You see certain things happening every where you go and we’re sure you do it too. So here are 13 things that you will relate to if you’re a millennial.
1. Taking a perfect picture of your food is more satisfying than eating it
Whenever you go to any restaurant, taking a picture of that gorgeous plate of food is so important so that you upload it on Instagram.

You cannot stay away from your phone even for a minute, so much so that you end up taking it everywhere, even the loo.
