Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things. Each year the staff at Beloit College in Wisconsin puts together a list to try to give the faculty a sense of the mind set 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 1989.

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 the 2 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.

Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.

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.

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

Do you feel old yet?

Well, I hit the tender age of 35 in a couple of weeks (Libra, not Virgo), and yet all of this rings true for me too.

25 on oct 6 another Libra. Even thoe I was born only seven years before 1989 I am alredy dreading my 25th as it sorta feels like I should be a man and act like a man at least at 24 I still feel like I can act like a kid even thoe I'm a man, I don't know it just feels like the end of my childhood/ young man era and I will be starting the new era of man/old man it's depressing but on the bright side at least I will get lot's of magic for my birthday plus I still have about 3 weeks to my birthday.
