The ‘Mindset List for the Class of 2015’ is off the press. Beloit College
produces this annual reminder. This is just a short excerpt; we’d encourage
you to go to their website and be enlightened as to how this new freshman
class thinks.
Andre the Giant, River Phoenix, Frank Zappa, Arthur Ashe and the Commodore
64 have always been dead.
There has always been an Internet ramp onto the information highway.
Ferris Bueller could be their dad.
The only significant labor disputes in their lifetimes have been in major
league sports.
There have always been at least two women on the Supreme Court, and women
have always commanded U.S. Navy ships.
They “swipe” cards, not merchandise.
“Don’t touch that dial!”..what dial?
Amazon has never been just a river in South America.
They’ve always gone to school with Mohammed and Jesus.
There has never been an official Communist Party in Russia.
“Yadda, yadda, yadda” has always come in handy to make long stories short.
Video games have always had ratings.
Sears has never sold anything out of a Big Book that could also serve as a
doorstop.
Some of them have been inspired to actually cook by watching the Food
Channel.
They’ve always wanted to be like Shaq or Kobe: Michael Who?
“PC” has come to mean Personal Computer, not Political Correctness.
