Either this will make you feel old or normal…

Every year, Beloit College drafts a snapshot of the mind of the incoming freshman. Though these lists make me feel old, I particularly like these annual lists for the obvious reason that I am building community with freshmen. (FYI, the vast majority of incoming freshmen were born in 1989)

Here are some highlights from this year’s list:

  • Humvees have always been available to the public
  • They never “rolled down” a car window
  • Rap music has always been mainstream (They probably don’t remember, the weekly MTV half-hour show, “Yo, MTV Raps”)
  • They were introduced to Jack Nicholson as “The Joker”
  • Time has always worked with Warner
  • MTV has never featured music videos
  • Tiananmen Square is the site of the 2008 Olympics
