Freshmen in College---What do they know?
August 19, 2008
I have seen this list a few times over the years. Basically, a small school in the midwest compiles a list of things that entering freshman have never experienced in their lifetime or have never not known. As the class of 2012 begins college this month (the majority born in 1990), here are a few highlights of the Mindset List.
- Caller ID has always been available on phones.
- Coke and Pepsi have always used recycled plastic bottles.
- Soft drink refills have always been free.
- WWW has never stood for World Wide Wrestling.
- Students have always been "Rocking the Vote.”
- Films have never been X rated, only NC-17.
- There has always been Pearl Jam.
- They have never known life without Seinfeld references from a show about “nothing.”
- The Tonight Show has always been hosted by Jay Leno and started at 11:35 EST.
- Pee-Wee has never been in his playhouse during the day.
I feel old now so maybe I should send a text message to feel hip. ha!
