Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things. Each year the staff at   Beloit College  in   Wisconsin puts together a list to try to give the faculty a sense of the mindset of this year's incoming freshmen. Here's this year's list:


The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1992.




They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.



Their lifetime has always included AIDS.



Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.



The CD was introduced 2 years before they were born.



They have always had an answering machine.



They have always had cable.



They cannot fathom not having a remote control.


Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.



Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.



They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.



They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.



They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.



They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel", or "de plane, Boss, de plane.."



They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.



McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.



They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.



Do you feel old yet? Pass this on to the other old fogies. Notice the larger type, that's for those of you who have trouble reading..
So have a nice day!!!!! It is good to have friends who know about these things and are still alive and kicking!!!!

Yup, when Leslie sent it to me, I thought it was cute too.  I showed it too my husband, he didn't understand the 'seeds and stems' part and  had to explain it to him.  I remember posting on the forum a long time ago about pot and it not being legal and I had a stick up my ass back then............I posted an article about our President going on The View couple of days ago and acting all holier than thou...........I have MS,   I use to be fun , and pleasant, but how did I get that stick up my ass?  I smoked pot when I was 16, and my big brother gave it to me back then, and I havent done it since I graduated from high school in 1980.  Where the hell did that stick come from?  I feel like blaming my husband <its husband #3>.

So funny and so true

I thought that the list of the mindset of todays freshman was awesome and an eyeopener for me. I had never really thought that indepth about todays youth's mindset. It helps to bridge the communication gap to keep stuff like that in mind. Seems like I saw Mork and Mindy  just yesterday.  Lol

omg, now I feel really old!

Last night "Dazed and Confused" was on.  It was funny looking at the stuff I did in high school, like in that movie.  We were bad, drov while drinking <no wrecks back then>, and threw beer bottles at mail boxes.   I never did throw a bowling ball at least, well that was thrown at a GTO <I think it was a gto>.  My husband came in and asked what I was l laughing at.  How do you tell a guy who never  did bad stuff this?
