A follow up to the post on Millenials - Beloit's Mindset List

Every year, Beloit College publishes a Mindset List that tries to set a frame of reference for incoming freshman.  You can read the whole article below but here are my favorites:


  • Robert De Niro is thought of as Greg Focker's long-suffering father-in-law, not as Vito Corleone or Jimmy Conway. 
  • Benjamin Braddock, having given up both a career in plastics and a relationship with Mrs. Robinson, could be their grandfather.
  • The Real World has always stopped being polite and started getting real on MTV.
  • Mr. Burns has replaced J.R.Ewing as the most shot-at man on American television.

  • Pulp Fiction’s meal of a "Royale with Cheese" and an “Amos and Andy milkshake” has little or no resonance with them.
  • There has always been football in Jacksonville but never in Los Angeles.
