Beloit College's Mindset List for 2010 Freshmen...Damn, I Feel Old Now!!
Just the top ten of 75...
Beloit College has released its latest Mindset List, to help academics understand what freshmen know and what they dont have a clue about. This list has been prepared each August since 1998 and past lists are available online. Here is this years list, for the Class of 2010:1. The Soviet Union has never existed and therefore is about as scary as the student union.
2. They have known only two presidents.
3. For most of their lives, major U.S. airlines have been bankrupt.
4. Manuel Noriega has always been in jail in the U.S.
5. They have grown up getting lost in big boxes.
6. There has always been only one Germany.
7. They have never heard anyone actually ring it up on a cash register.
8. They are wireless, yet always connected.
9. A stained blue dress is as famous to their generation as a third-rate burglary was to their parents.
10. Thanks to pervasive head phones in the back seat, parents have always been able to speak freely in the front.
