Yesterday, my boyfriend gave me a lot of Asda Story gold and I buy Asda Story Gold as the gift to return him.

The Asda Story money is attractive and I have plenty of the cheap Asda Story gold.

I always find this list to be thought provoking and a reality check for those of us in academe who do tend to assume a different context for our students...

Despite the exaggeration, I believe the list is largely accurate. I will run it by my just turned sweet 16 daughter and see if I can get her to post her reaction!

Thank's for the post Robert!

Hi, Walt–yes, you are not the first to mention something about #19, and I think it is not meant to be taken literally. Beloit tries to explain some of these exaggerations in their 2nd and 3rd paragraphs of their “note of explanation” prior to this year’s list. I believe they are trying to emphasize how “google” has commonly been used most of their teenage years. Other items in the list seem a bit exaggerated as well (i.e. “always”), but as you can see, it does generate discussion. Thanks for the comment!

Hi Robert,

As I’ve commented elsewhere, #19 is nonsense–unless incoming college students are 6 years old, or all have severe ADD. Google ain’t that old.
