Boomeritis

Boomeritis: the deadly combination of a modern liberal, egalitarian worldview with a deep unquestioned narcissism commonly held by Baby Boomers and their children.

Boomeritis is characterized by relativism, narcissism, and an aversion to hierarchy.

Smarter Than The Average Bear?

When I took the SATs in high school my results were: Verbal-580, Math-570. I told all my friends my total score was 1050.

It wasn't until YEARS later that I realized my score was actually 1150.

I took a career test once. Scores were calculated immediately after the exam and my results were: I'm capable of any career choice. Upon learning this I went up to the test administrator and asked for an explanation. He looked down at my score, looked back up at me and said "you can be anything you want to be." I took the test to find a specific career choice and I was told I could do anything I wanted with my life and I'd be good at it! (Lame, right?) I left the room feeling very confused and decided I either took the test wrong or the whole thing was a sham.

It wasn't until MUCH later that I sat, reflected and realized "I can be anything I want to be."

I often wonder if I deserve those test results...
