The Class of 2017: No Directions Needed, Just give them a GPS!

It's a rainy day here in Boulder, Colorado. The streets are flooding and schools are cancelled. We hope that everyone is staying safe, warm, and dry. That being said, here is some light reading while you are stuck inside today. 

Each year, just in time for the start of the new school year, Beloit comes out with their annual Mindset List. The list is intended to give a glimpse into this year's generation of incoming college students. The list is a great way for college administrators and professors to have a sense of who will be joining them on campus in the fall. It is also a great reminder to college counselors like myself of who we are interacting with on a daily basis!

The list for the Class of 2017 was released recently and you can check it out here. 

Some of my favorites from the list include:

- Gaga has never been baby talk.
- With GPS, they have never needed directions to get someplace, just an address.
- They have never really needed to go to their friend’s house so they could study together.
- Their parents’ car CD player is soooooo ancient and embarrassing.
- Their parents have always bemoaned the passing of precocious little Calvin and sarcastic stuffy Hobbes.

Have fun reading the rest of the Mindset List!
