mindset list for the college class of 2016

latimes:

What kind of world does this year’s incoming class of freshmen live in?

Your Tumblr host’s favorites:

8. Bill Clinton is a senior statesman of whose presidency they have little knowledge.

12. For most of their lives, maintaining relations between the U.S. and the rest of the world has been a woman’s job in the State Department.

27. Outdated icons with images of floppy discs for “save,” a telephone for “phone,” and a snail mail envelope for “mail” have oddly decorated their tablets and smart phone screens.

55. Mr. Burns has replaced J.R.Ewing as the most shot-at man on American television.

69. Pulp Fiction’s meal of a “Royale with Cheese” and an “Amos and Andy milkshake” has little or no resonance with them.

Feeling… so… irrelevant… (via)
