A friend posted a link to Beloit College's "Mindset List" for the class of 2013. These are "the cultural touchstones that shape the lives of students entering college." I found this list to be quite interesting, shocking (I'm getting old) and entertaining. Here are my top ten favorites:
3. The Green Giant has always been Shrek, not the big guy picking vegetables.
4. They have never used a card catalog to find a book.
7. Earvin "Magic" Johnson has always been HIV-positive.
11. Chocolate chip cookie dough ice-cream has always been a flavor of choice.
29. Bobby Cox has always managed the Atlanta Braves.
51. Britney Spears has always been heard on classic rock stations.
52. They have never been Saved by the Bell.
53. Someone has always been asking: "What Iraq worth a war?"
55. Natalie Cole has always been singing with her father.
68. Official racial classifications in South Africa have always been outlawed.
73. Nobody has ever responded to "Help, I've fallen and I can't get up."
Thought provoking huh?
By God's Grace, Jeff
