Each year around this time, Beloit College in Beloit, WI publishes its “mindset list” for the incoming college class.  The list is a compilation of statements and comments about the students entering college this fall and the experiences they have had (or have not had) for the entirety or majority of their lives.  I have to admit that I’m not that much older than these students, and many of the items could apply to me from days before I have memory or wasn’t old enough to experience them.  A few of my favorites, however, about these students who were mostly born in 1990:

• Windows 3.0 operating system made IBM PCs user-friendly the year they were born.
• Macaulay Culkin has always been Home Alone.
• They have never known life without Seinfeld references from a show about “nothing.”
• The Green Bay Packers (almost) always had the same starting quarterback.

View the full list at Beloit’s site.
