With the influx of new students (and the departure of good parking places), your mind starts to drift back to the time when you were a scared freshman, out in the world for the first time. Beloit College has been putting together a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beloit.edu\/mindset\/2013.php\">mindset list<\/a> since the class of 2002 arrived on campus. It&#8217;s interesting to see what experiences these new students have had up to this point, and how they know (and don&#8217;t know) the world.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Each August since 1998, Beloit College has released the Beloit College Mindset List. It provides a look at the cultural touchstones that shape the lives of students entering college. It is the creation of Beloit\u2019s Keefer Professor of the Humanities Tom McBride and Emeritus Public Affairs Director Ron Nief.\u00a0 It is used around the world as the school year begins, as a reminder of the rapidly changing frame of reference for this new generation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beloit.edu\/mindset\/2013.php\">Mindset list for the class of 2013<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here are some of my favorites:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4.
