I am joining the Oh Amanda Top 10 Tuesday.  Beloit College releases an annual mind set list looking at the cultural touchstones of college students entering college this fall.  They will be the class of 2015.  I just found it fascinating as my oldest will be in the High School Class of 2016.  There were a total of 75 mind sets. Number 24 cracked me up, "“Yadda, yadda, yadda” has always come in handy to make long stories short." Their classmates could include Taylor Momsen, Angus Jones, Howard Stern's daughter Ashley, and the Dilley Sextuplets.
