Every year Beloit College in Beloit, WI puts out The Mindset list for the incoming class of freshmen. (the class of 2016) If you going to do the math at home they were born in 1994. Here is a link if you would like to see all 75 things on The Mindset list. Below is my top 10 list.
5. If they miss The Daily Show, they can always get their news on YouTube.
7. Robert De Niro is thought of as Greg Focker’s long-suffering father-in-law, not as Vito Corleone or Jimmy Conway.
8. Bill Clinton is a senior statesman of whose presidency they have little knowledge.
9. They have never seen an airplane “ticket.”
29. They have had to incessantly remind their parents not to refer to their CDs and DVDs as “tapes.”
