Beloit College wants to help. Really they do. In particular they've trying to bridge the large gap between white-bearded professors and its new incoming class, the Class of 2011, and they've posted a list of some facts to remember about these babes of 1989. It's called 'the Mindset List of 2011' and it may help us all remember what strange people will be joining us on campus this September.

Most of the facts are touchingly out of the loop, like 'Being “lame” has to do with being dumb or inarticulate, not disabled.' Because most professors on college campuses are older than our parents, they're a little out of touch with hip-hop and MySpace.

Half of these kids have probably been diagnosed with ADD, and MTV has never featured music videos.

The Class of '09 may be able to distantly remember music videos and a president before Clinton -- something about a George Bush with a deadbeat son, wasn't it? -- but the Class of '11 is fully in a new generation.
