The latest Mindset list is out from Beloit College of Iowa, the list that tells us what the world is according to the incoming freshman class of 2012:
According to the Class of 2012...
- Shampoo and conditioner have always been available in the same bottle
- The Green Bay Packers have always had the same starting Quarterback...until a few days ago.
- Gas stations have never fixed flat tires...but most of them serve cappuccino.
- Caller ID has always been available on phones
- Films have never been rated X, only NC-17
- IBM has never made typewriters
- There has always been a Pearl Jam
- The tonight show has always been hosted by Jay Leno
OKAY, so I feel old...send these kids back a few years to help me catch up with my rapidly-aging generation!
Now, the profs who make this list started the project in 2002, meaning they don't have one for my class--2001--but here's a near glimpse at the world according to us quarter-centenarians:
Mindest List for Class of 2002:
- Have never worn hard contacts
- Too young to remember Challenger exploding
- There has always been AIDS
- Have never had a polio shot
- Michael Jackson has always been white (LMAO!)
I dunno, this is the first year the list was written, and these guys seem to be really making a lot of stretches, as well as kinda coming off like embittered fogies. Most of the things on that year's list I don't think are true at all, actually ("They have always had cable." will make most of us LOL). Let me know what you think.
Happy Friday!!
Oh, btw, this weekend I'm going to the movies, going shopping, and going to the World Heritage Festival in Dun Laoghaire, on the coast! Should be fun!
