"I keep getting older; they stay the same age."

Beloit College has released its annual Mind-Set List which attempts to to identify a worldview of 18 year-olds in the fall of 2007: "Its 70 items provide a look at the cultural touchstones that have shaped the lives of today’s first-year students, most of them born in 1989."

Here are the first 12 items on the list; you can see the entire list of 70 on the Beloit College website:

1. What Berlin wall?

5. Michael Moore has always been angry and funny.
6. They may confuse the Keating Five with a rock group.
