Beloit College has released its Mindset List for the incoming class, which (for those who finish, and take only four years to do it) will be the Class of 2012. Here it is, with my comments.
Students entering college for the first time this fall were generally born in 1990.
For these students, Sammy Davis Jr., Jim Henson, Ryan White, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Freddy Krueger have always been dead.
1. Harry Potter could be a classmate, playing on their Quidditch team.
More interesting: they might actually have a Quidditch team.
2. Since they were in diapers, karaoke machines have been annoying people at parties.
What's more annoying, a karaoke machine in a diaper or a misplaced modifier in a college's press release?
3. They have always been looking for Carmen Sandiego.
I've been doing that since 1985. Get with the times!
( They have always put long lists behind an LJ-cut... )
