The Beloit College Mindset List for the class of 2010

ETA: Is it me, or does this list seem particularly ... lame this year?

Those lists always seem to assume that "youngsters" are stupid and ignorant. Bleh.

I prefer to think of them in terms of me. As in, they're the same age as my 6th grade science teacher's fetus. (Oh geez, Mrs. Timo's kid is going to college! I'm old!)

Oh, and I'm biologically old enough to have birthed a gymnast age-eligible to compete at senior worlds this year. egads.

That *is* pretty lame. And now I feel very old. (toddles off to find my Geritol)

I went back and looked at one for my class and the raio of items that apply to me to those that don't is about the same. So the list aren't that exact.

For example from 2010: all very true of me!
They grew up in mini-vans.
They have always been searching for "Waldo."
They have always preferred going out in groups as opposed to dating.

From 2002: NOT TRUE
They are too young to remember the Space Shuttle Challenger blowing up.
They have never owned record player.
As far as they know, stamps have always cost about 32 cents.
