Remember When II

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Beloit College Mindset List ever since I stumbled upon it a year ago. For those that need a refresher, from my original Remember When post, the List is made up of cultural way points to help professors understand where the incoming Freshmen are coming from. Below are a few of my favorites from the latest and greatest Class of 2013 list (aka those born in 1991): 

  1. For these students, Martha Graham, Pan American Airways, Michael Landon, Dr. Seuss, Miles Davis, The Dallas Times Herald, Gene Roddenberry, and Freddie Mercury have always been dead. <– Sooo sad
  2. Salsa has always outsold ketchup. <– Wow
  3. Earvin “Magic” Johnson has always been HIV-positive. <– Remember when this was announced? What an uproar.
  4. Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream has always been a flavor choice.
  5. They have never had to “shake down” an oral thermometer. <– Haha
  6. Condoms have always been advertised on television.
  7. Women have always outnumbered men in college. <– Damn right :)
  8. There have always been flat screen televisions.
  9. They have never been Saved by the Bell. <– Oh, the horror, the tragedy
  10. There has always been a Planet Hollywood.
  11. Nobody has ever responded to “Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.”
