If you ve read anything about young adults lately, chances are the refrain has gone something like this: young adults are entitled, lazy, self-absorbed, and going broke on avocado toast. Rainesford Stauffer is out to change this tired conversation. Stauffer, a journalist who writes about young adults for
The New York Times,
Teen Vogue, and numerous other publications, has distilled her years of grassroots reporting into
An Ordinary Age, a soulful book exploring the diminishing returns of young adulthood.

I left with almost all of my things, Maldonado told CBS News. But most importantly I left New York feeling defeated in a way I never thought possible.
