Class of 2007 Mindset List

Sep 04, 2003 09:10

Beloit College has published its annual Mindset List, providing those of us who are rather older than the average college freshman with some reminders of where they're coming from. While I don't think it's as good as it has been in some past years, my favorite items from this year's list are ( Read more... )

My God. I still believe in dressing appropriately for restaurants.

me too. My 15 year old cousin looked at me strangly when I said "I can't go to a restaurant to eat I'm wearing my school clothes!" I was 17. 2 years ago. meh.

we used to have a datsun.

granted I wasn't born in 1985 like the people this list was made about (Where'd my english go?), I was born in 1984, but it's not that big of a difference.

"Bert and Ernie are old enough to be their parents." Bert and Ernie will always be five years old. They're puppets. :)

"An automatic is a weapon, not a transmission" not in hungary. :p

"19. They have never been able to find the “return” key." when I was 5, my teacher had us press the "return" key (The one adjacent to the keys you type on) and I preseed the "enter" key instead (the one by the number pad) and she yelled at me! and I said "it does the same thing!" and she said "but you didnt know that until you tried it" i'd been using computers for over a year at that point. grar. :)

I was confused about the return key thing. My Mac keyboard has a return key on it, though I suppose the one on the PC doesn't. Do PC keyboards only have enter keys?

On my laptop keyboard, I don't have a "return" key or an "enter" key, just a key with this symbol on it: http://callete.com/~pthalo/return.bmp

I think that's how the return key looks on most PCs. though I distinctly remember our PC in the late 80s having a return key. with "return" written on it.

I drive a 31 year old Datsun 240Z. And I have a 33 year old Datsun 240Z as well.

From the other side of life, one of my clients is a 102 year old man. He was born in a world with no car, plane, electricty, or indoor plumbing.

Life is weird!

I came across the support_pics LiveJournal, and as I was about to join, I noticed that the community is closed and that I should contact you. Although I do not have privs, I do help out on the support boards with roughly 60 points. Can I please join your community?
