Beloit College Mindset List for the Class of 2013

Each August since 1998, Beloit College has released the Beloit College Mindset List. It provides a look at the cultural touchstones that shape the lives of students entering college. It is the creation of Beloit’s Keefer Professor of the Humanities Tom McBride and Emeritus Public Affairs Director Ron Nief.
Beloit College Mindset List for the Class of 2013

Here are my favourite ones:
3. The Green Giant has always been Shrek, not the big guy picking vegetables.
4. They have never used a card catalog to find a book.
10. Rap music has always been main stream.
11. Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream has always been a flavor choice.
14. Text has always been hyper.
41. Phil Jackson has always been coaching championship basketball.
42. Ozzy Osbourne has always been coming back.
51. Britney Spears has always been heard on classic rock stations. [??]
52. They have never been Saved by the Bell [my daughter is horrified at this]
