Each year the staff at Beloit
College in Wisconsin puts together
a list to try to give the faculty
a sense of the mindset of this
year's incoming freshmen. Here's
this year's list:
The people who are
starting college this fall across
the nation were born in 1998.
They are too young
to remember the space shuttle
blowing up.
Their lifetime has
always included AIDS.
Bottle caps have
always been screw off and plastic.
The CD was
introduced 7 years before they
were born.
They have always had
an answering machine.
They have always had
cable.
They cannot fathom
not having a remote control.
Popcorn has always
been cooked in the microwave.
They never
took a swim and thought
about Jaws.
They can't
imagine what hard contact
lenses are.
They don't know who
Mork was or where he was from.
They never heard:
"Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a
mile for a Camel", or "de plane,
Boss, de plane.."
They do not care who
shot J. R. and have no idea who J.
R. even is.
Mc Donald's never
came in Styrofoam containers.
They don't have a
clue how to use a typewriter.
Do you feel
old yet? Pass this on to
the other old fogies on
your list. Notice the
larger type, that's for
those of you who have
trouble reading..
It is good
to have friends who know
about these things and are
still alive and
kicking!!!!
Wisdom: That
inherent quality that keeps
you from getting into
situations where you need it.
Don't let
yesterday use up too much of
today.
Worry looks
around, Sorry looks back,
Faith looks up. Have
faith.. Live, Love, Laugh!
Those who were
seen dancing were thought to
be insane by those who could
not hear the music.
