"Hi Dunkan, There aren't any restrictions on WHO can submit an essay. The main requirement is that it must address the topic of why a young adult would or would not choose to live in Michigan. It can focus on why they would choose to live somewhere else, but you would have to include your experience with Michigan as well. If you haven't been to Michigan, it might be sufficient to talk about the perception of Michigan you've gathered from movies, TV, or other media. All the info on guest essay submissions for Generation Y Michigan can be found at this page: http://generationymichigan.org/guest-e...... If you would like to publish essays that don't relate to that topic, feel free to submit your work to this website, Supraterranean.com. The info is here: http://www.supraterranean.com/submiss... Thanks, Nick Meador" - Nick Meador

"As Jon Stewart joked, that amount of money would get you an efficiency apartment in New York... above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley. As if this region needed more ridicule." - Nick Meador

"I'd also like to add that this was one of our main reasons for adding the Guest Essays section of the website. Think of it as an open publishing space for people all over the state (and beyond) to contribute their views on the topic.

"Maybe a better case would be to argue against the use of any term, since it allows laziness in the media, misconceptions in the public, and philosophical arguments on website comment forums. Or even better... an exploration of why we're so inclined to describe an entire generation using a single title and not just "young adults" or "those born in the '80s."" - Nick Meador

"Peter, this is one of the most informative comments I've seen on this website so far. Thanks for your contribution." - Nick Meador
