Beloit Mindset — Class of 2011

Beloit College has released its Mindset List for the class of 2011, whose members are entering college this year and were born in 1989. Feeling old yet? If not, you may when you read the list.

To give you a taste of the “mindset” of this cohort, here are the first ten items on the list:

1. What Berlin wall?
2. Humvees, minus the artillery, have always been available to the public.
3. Rush Limbaugh and the “Dittoheads” have always been lambasting liberals.
4. They never “rolled down” a car window.
5. Michael Moore has always been angry and funny.
6. They may confuse the Keating Five with a rock group.
7. They have grown up with bottled water.
8. General Motors has always been working on an electric car.
9. Nelson Mandela has always been free and a force in South Africa.
10. Pete Rose has never played baseball.
