Congratulations, Millennials! You’ve made it to 2016. According to research, you are now somewhere between the ages of 12 and 34, or 16 and 32, or 22 and 30. It’s really hard to tell, and many of you older Millennials refuse to accept you are part of the same generation that corrupted the word "literally". Sorry! But regardless of whether you're a baby Millennial or one of those oldies who try (and fail) to swat away at the moniker, a new day has dawned. Here's what to expect in the year to come.

Hey, you're getting old! Millennials are entering their 30s now, and even though we're still not getting married or buying houses or appropriately contributing to society or whatever, we are now Adults. Many of us (okay, me) spent New Year's Eve drinking wine on our couches and journaling. 10 p.m. is a perfectly sensible bedtime, after all.

And the young are getting stronger.Gen Z started getting its due in 2015, what with MTV declaring they were the new kids to watch market to and all. Expect a slew of #ThinkPieces and #HotTakes on the new crop of cool kids, and remember that you used to have braces, too.

There's so much of the English language left to destroy. This year, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary added gems like "WTF," "emoji," "jegging" and "NSFW." In 2014, we hit "amazeballs," "YOLO," and "FML." We can top that in 2016, kiddos—there's "Tindering," for instance, or "kk." And are enough people using "bae"? The world is our colloquial oyster.

It's an election year! For younger Millennials, 2016 might be the first presidential election in which you can vote. For older ones, 2016 is a sad, weird reminder of that first time you experienced Hope & Change, though it's still better than whatever mess was happening in 2004. The important thing is, the younger kids can phone bank now, so you don't have to suffer through some old dude from Pennsylvania's war stories in hopes of convincing him not to vote Republican.

Murder online dating. 2015 was the year of Tinder, and 2015 was terrible. Delete all your dating apps and talk to a human IRL.

This year's the year we'll get our big break. Or so they say. Millennials have been struggling to get a financial foothold for years now, with most of us graduating in the midst of a major economic recession. Now, though, job numbers are up, we've overtaken baby boomers in the workforce, and fewer major publications are posting #HotTakes about how lazy we all are. Indeed, outlets say this could be Our Year in Capitalism, and Forbes predicts 2016 is the Year of the Millennial Consumer (never mind that Forbes also predicted 2015 was the Year of the Millennial Consumer; there is much to consume). Regardless of whether or not you're running out to save the U.S. economy by buying a Ford, our economic outlook could be worse, and you can start a real retirement fund instead of relying on all that loose change gathering at the bottom of a tote bag.

You could potentially buy a house! But maybe you shouldn't? Millennials apparently make up about 68 percent of first-time homebuyers now, with raw data suggesting it's cheaper in the long run to own than rent, even if you're shackling yourself to a crazy mortgage. Still, unless you're flipping homes in Bushwick with Zosia Mamet, even a down payment is out of reach in allegedly desirable spots such as New York, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Portland. 2016—the year we all moved to Minneapolis.

At least there's a lot on television this year. Netflix keeps taking away all the good movies, but now that you've got a few extra bucks, you can spring for Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime and HBO Now, all four of which will offer some solid programming in 2016. There's a third season of BoJack Horseman on the way, for instance, and Orange Is The New Black will be back in July. We find out whether or not Jon Snow is dead sometime in April, and there's...everything else to look forward to in streamsville, assuming you cut the cable cord like all good Millennial consumers. This proliferation of high-quality online television is important now that we are adults with jobs—post-work we drink wine, watch five hours of Gilmore Girls and go to bed early, as adults are wont to do.

Happy New Year, fellow kids! May 2015 burn in hell.
