It's time again

for the Beloit College Mindset List, the list of things that the entering freshman class has not experienced.

Here were the ones that got me. This is for the class of 2013 (assuming we make it through the hoopla of 2012), for those born in 1991:

Dr. Seuss, Miles Davis, Gene Roddenberry, and Freddie Mercury have been dead their entire lives. They've probably never seen a card catalogue, much less used it to find a book. The KGB didn't exist at any time in their lives, and (this is for YKWIA), state abbreviations have never had periods during their lifetimes.

Check out the list for more things to make you feel old (like the fact that 'Saved By the Bell' was already off the air....)
