...you are between the ages of 18 and 34 and you're not sure what to call yourself. Is it millennial? Generation Y? Snake person?
...you hope to someday be more powerful than Beyoncé, busier than James Franco or as relatable as "Clueless."
...you love Taylor Swift so much it confuses and excites you, and while growing up, your emotions rose and fell with Lindsay Lohan's success.
...you're selfie-obsessed and cellphone-prone and you're getting tired of these stupid puns because I sound like your dad.
If you're not a millennial, I'm sorry. And I'm sorry to Jeff Foxworthy for sabotaging his bit with generational generalizations.

The Orange County Living Wage project, set to launch in October, aims to certify businesses that pay their employees a living wage. That's $12.75 per hour or $11.25 per hour with health insurance, according to the initiative. Right now, almost 40 percent of Orange County workers earn below that benchmark.
Sports editor Pat James explains why that last football game wasn't actually so bad. When facing South Carolina, UNC allowed only 17 points — the fewest surrendered since 2013. The defense did pretty well. So thank you, Pat, for being a beacon of hope in what was a murky season opener to the sports-illiterate like me.
Timeless treasure Alice Wilder gets real with us in this #sincere post about therapy and openly dealing with mental illness. Last night she forced me to leave the office for 10 minutes to sing a karaoke version of Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" at the bar next door. It was life-changing.
